I don't like the "less drama" one, the korean esports scene really needed some drama and ceremonies to put a face on its players after the kespa robots reigned for so long.

I think you got the wrong wording, it's not "drama" we want, it's media coverage, even if it's negative media coverage to draw attention. Drama usually results in actually bad consequences besides the fact that it attracts media coverage.

So the only thing changing is if/when Kespa pulls their players from GSL, it won't be eSF teams pulling their players out of OSL to show loyalty or solidarity to Gom, but because Gom told them to?

Coaches need education in business too, there is money to be made that pretty much all the teams are really missing out on.

Mr. Chae FIGHTING! I like the guy. He seems to really care for the well-being of the game, the players and coaches as well as the fans. I know he'll be making the right decisions.

if by "drama" you mean things like Slayers disbanding, then no, its far from a good thing.

I'm optimistic about this. GomTV has shown themselves very professional as far back as I can remember.

There's conflict of interests to be considered here right?

Look at the eSF boycott that aimed to get kespa players to compete in GSL, back then I thought it was fair enough. It was the teams taking a stand. Now with GOM at the head of eSF, I think we can agree that if the same situation were to happen all over, suddenly it would be rather suspect. Is it the teams taking a stand or GOM using the teams as leverage?

I'm not saying evil things will happen, I'm saying that they could happen and we should be watchful.

They are most likely referring to the slayers clusterfuck and things like that. Players trash talking before games and making ceremonies shouldn't be affected.

Considering it was Kespa using KESPA teams as leverage in the first place, I don't see where the problem would be with GOM doing the same thing in retaliation, which is essentially what happened.

This has a recipe for disaster though, because with the new MLG/DH/ESL partnership Kespa joining is only a matter of time since the door is already opened with the MLG/KESPA partnership. Then it's literally IPL, NASL, and GSL against the juggernaut that is MLG/DH/ESL/KESPA.

I love GOM and always will, but this is playing a game of chicken they'll probably lose.
