I don't have the permission to translate this article so I will try to sum it up in bullet points.
- eSF = eSports Federation = 7 SC2 teams from Korea that are not part of KeSPA, namely Startale, LG-IM, MVP, Prime, TSL, NSHoseo and FXOpen.
- Gretech(the company behind GomTV) has accepted the previous eSF president's(Jong Wook Won, head coach of Startale) offer to lead the organization.
- Together with the announcement they unveiled "10 Visions", things the organization will strive to achieve. Relevant ones:
1. Educate players and coaches alike on professional behavior. AKA less drama making.
2. Search for sponsors and other means to sustain the teams.
3. Support for other eSports titles.
4. Cooperation with KeSPA.
5. Cooperation with foreign players and organizations.
EDIT: esfiworld link: complete translation

This is pretty big news actually. I wonder if eSF will take the initiative to join forces with KeSPA... I honestly think that a partnership between eSF and KeSPA is absolutely crucial in Korea.
The MLG-ESL-DreamHack partnership is also a promising sign of cooperation. I love this spirit of renewed enthusiasm in working together for eSports!

I'm cautiously optimistic about this. If done right, this could be really good for the Korean scene. If not, well...

I like it. gom is a pretty open organization and i cant imagine them ever trying to be malicious with this so i can only see good things in the future.
|
GOMTV and eSF Fighting!
This is a really good move!
As for "Support for other eSports titles", one can dream of Dota2...
|
NBL + BAA = NBA
esf + kespa = ???
maybe it'll happen sometime in the future
|
In Mr Chae we trust 
EDIT: As long as Mr Chae is involved I think the best interests of the players will always be a big priority, with him having been a pro/competitive gamer back in the day.
|
yay!!
we love mr. Chae!
love gom
<3

I don't think this is good for the scene. It would be much better if there was only one organization like this between all korean proteams
|
"Cautiously optimistic" is also the word I would use. This seems like a very good thing, but there is a potential for it to all go wrong down the line too. Hopefully it works out for the better.

eSF was made to fight Kespa though so teaming up with kespa to fight kespa doesnt make sense

I like how they call it a "vision" and "ultimately aiming" for it...
"Vision" like it was something complicated like a superconductor and not just putting one and one together.
"Ultimately aiming for a unified League" like there were any real drawbacks to it ("we don't like each other" doesn't count) and not the obviously best next step for both sides.

Does negativity ooze out of your pores too? Geez lol! What exactly would you expect?

OMFG, this is exactly what the the korean scene needs. Hopefully that can really teach the teams the business side of things. Now bring back the MLG/GSL partnership and we have a world wide united tourny scene for sc2, and Kespa.....
