There are like 30000 good players out there, why should MLG care about some random players not willing to participate ? | ||

Lol it is quite ironic because the first GOM/MLG partnership had 4 Koreans each seeded into super protective pools with all travel expenses paid and ESF teams back then didn't complain about biased seeding. | ||

Otherwise, the best ESF players will just be poached by KESPA teams when the transfer ban is lifted and ESF teams will collapse. If that last bit were true, something like this tournament would do the opposite. The bias in number of invites would almost secure that ESF players be knocked out (or a much higher chance) by KeSPA players, thus making the situation worse for them? | ||

MarineKing, MC, PuMa, LosirA etc are random players? :| and out of the "30,000" good players, the top echelon would be ESF players :\ | ||

The problem for MLG here is, that they have this deal with KESPA, which costed them some money for sure and now they try to make something out of it... I didn't like the news of this exclusive deal in the first place back when it was announced and this is just a consequence of it. :o The thing I'm wondering now is, how far this dispute will go... Well worst scenario is Kespa players going only to MLG and ESF players playing only all the other events like IPL, Dreamhack, IEM etc. I think MLG has some sort of exclusive deal with Kespa, where they only attend MGLs and no other foreign tournaments. And this was prob in response to IPLs connection to GSL( GSTL Final at IPL4, Team World vs GSL, GSL RO8(?) etc at IPL5) To me this seems like two big boys (MLG and IGN/IPL) duking it out the american way. I hope both can survive and we as viewers get to see the best players at as many foreign tournaments as possible. | ||

Kespa has been established in Brood War for a long time, but as far as SC2 goes, ESF is the established organization. I also am unsure how many ESF players would be willing to basically forfeit any free rights they have by going to KESPA teams. ESF just needs money so that it's teams can pay more salaries. If they do that, then I think ESF can survive in the long run. | ||

Right, but they *chose* to make it that way. There was no reason they had to do that. What if MLG decided to make a big "EG vs. the world" tournament, where half the players were EG. And there was a lot of money and qualifiers to their main tournament. And there was a rule stating that half the qualifiers would go to EG players no matter how badly they did. And it turns out they did it because EG promised never to go to IPL in exchange. Would the community not go insane? | ||

They are one of the main reasons that sc2 is what it is today. They came from a nonglobalized bw, and made sc2 (with other ppl) to a globalized esport. And look at the succes, and the interrest from foreigners. Now kespa joins in, and ESF gets the cold shoulder and the meh rewards. I will not buy ppv to this online tournament. | ||

The amount of invites to various events is never 'fair', pretty much every tournament around the world is skewed in favour of various demographics. Likewise, direct seeds into GSL aren't 'fair' either. The theme of this event was KeSPA vs Non-KeSPA - and thus the numbers of players on each 'side'. If MLG wanted this to be a showmatch, then they should have cut off all connections to the Fall Championship. If they wanted it to be a qualifier then it should have been open to all willing participants. Instead they chose both and got a "qualifier" where half the participants didn't have to qualify in the first place, which makes a mockery of the entire tournament. There aren't 16 direct seeds for the GSL. Bad analogy is bad. | ||
