Charging money to WATCH a video game is ridiculous. MLG = CPL. | ||

They would get screwed over by the format in a big way. Honestly i don't like the format either and it's PPV, also the casting is not up to my personal taste. So for me as one viewer it's not a loss, i can imagine for others this news comes as a bumer though. | ||

Players. What does this achieve? Nothing but tension between the organizations. When mlg and kespa is partnered up like so, darn right they'rw going to be favorited and receive some exclusivity. Hopefully the allegations are false and losira hasnhis own personal reason for dropping out. Mlg charging for these games are unforgivable. Ipl? Dreamhack? All free. You have a large fanbasr anxious to see the kespa players in action and youre going to put a fee or deny it? If you want to charge... Make the price so that you can get better quality and vod... But make the games itself free | ||

So the important thing is that it's not just ESF doing what they want to do. The players agree to ESF. | ||

Gom and gsl had a partnership earlier and gsl got benefits. The only difference now is that PL and Gom are seen in direct competition. 3) I admire the equal opportunity idea between PL and GOM, but i think gom should just let this happen because everyone is interested, and it will happen eventually. 4) Let's not talk about who deserves what. Because Blizzard deserves everlasting wealth for giving us sc in the first place if you trace it back far enough 5) none of this is relevant because this article by slasher isn't relevant. He took an openly admitted uninformed thought by Fxoboss, Wrote up a completely sensationalist article based on basically nothing to stir up a shit ton of drama -.- 2 people declined invites... 2!!!!! That is not ESF pulling out their players or anything of the sort. MKP most likely declined to focus on GSL(As he said in his interview he wants to focus solely on this GSL season) Losira declined for an unknown reason. None of this points to anything even near eSF telling/forcing its players to decline invites -.- | ||

That comparison is laughable btw, it wasn't just JD and rain. It was all of the Kespa players, even the ones that said in interviews they want to go. | ||

The same thing that was the extremely honest reason why JD and Rain couldn't make it to the GSL before Bliz magically solved the schedule issues? lol sure You clearly don't get it. KeSPA restructured the Dual Tournament to ensure that KeSPA had a 50% representation in the Ro16 (before everyone knew how similar KeSPA and ESF pros were). They didn't do it out of the kindness of their heart for ESF, they did it to maximize profits. GSL invited KeSPA pros to maximize profits. It isn't just that its a conflicting schedule. It's also that this is a complete waste of their time/talent. Let's assume 8 ESF players had all accepted. They waste five weeks of their time in a season where no matter how well they do as a whole only 2 of them will advance to the playoffs. Then those two have to play each other in order to determine which one of them gets the seed and the loser gets nothing except a waste of a month. Then to get a prize outside of the seed he has to beat the remaining EU player, the top NA player, and the last KeSPA pro in the final. All with cross server lag and presumably terrible times of night to play. MLG kind of forced them to decline. | ||

I agree with your opinion regarding the OP. That should be fixed. It is tough to find real info in a 20+ pages thread. But when progamers don't find time for a prestigious online tournament (you can argue about price payout, but not that playing Kespa players isn't extremely prestigious atm) you have to wonder if schedule is really the reason. | ||

Seems exactly the same as one team guy speaking off the cuff about why his player declined. Rather than, y'know, an official announcement from the eSF organization as a whole. Absolutely the same thing there. | ||

If anything, one can argue that Kespa got 6 seeds because they had separate dual tournament. | ||

As were the top players on the Kespa side, can't remember who. | ||

You say that as if 50% representation in their own tournament was a big number. It is not even a medium number, it is an itsy bitsy tiny number. 6.25% was the number of Kespa players in Code S in comparison. That is the equivalent of 1 ESF player in the RO16. And how the hell is letting noname players (for the Kespa audience) into the OSL maximizing profits? Bisu in the OSL would have made them insanely more profit compared to someone like Oz. | ||
