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.
As much as I want to agree, remember the quote.
"The road to hell is paved with good intentions."
One day GOM may find itself on the other side which I like you and others hope never happens, we don't want a KESPA 2.0 with all that it's maligned with.

Great. Now every player will be saying the same "luck followed me today / I just got lucky"-bullshit in their interviews.

GOM is one of the few companies I trust to mostly do things rights, I think it's a good news ! Chae is a modern time Yoda.

Thank you, GOMtv, for all your work and support for the scene! This is a good decision.
|
good news im sure GomTV will do a great job as head of eSF
Mr Chae the boss
|
This is a defensive move by eSF, they are afraid of KeSPA.

|
Fired up and ready to go mr chae!
|
Why does everyone keep mentioning Mr. Chae? Chae Jung Won is not the new president, it's In Sik Bae.
"Gretech's CEO Mr. In Sik Bae, who became the new president of ESF"

GOM have been nothing but outstanding since the start of StarCraft 2 release in Korea and they are an ambassador company for every single tournament organisation out there. This decision is definitely a good one and should be well supported.
|
Good news, hopefully this allows teams like Prime to get more sponsors, who were struggling with them in the past.
|
Everyone seems happy but I'm really doubtfull of what will rise of it.

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. 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.
Kespa is evil because of shit like that, I remember the last season of GOM bw just as well. That doesn't mean we should be happy eSF/GOM could potentially pull the same shit. There's a conflict with kespa as a league organisation and kespa as a player organisation, now we're seeing the same construction with eSF/GOM.
I think leagues and teams should work together to progress esports, preferably through some umbrella organisation. It's just important to remember that they each have their own interests and one shouldn't govern the other.
|
Once eSF and Kespa join the international group of organisations, the world of esports will be as it should :D
|
Whoa, now this is cool. I'm interested to see how this plays out next year but really, really hopeful, I believe this will benefit SC2 for sure.
|
I like how the head of ESF bullied SlayerS when they didn't follow the party line, and now they're trying to change their imagine when Kespa is squeezing their balls.

Best thing ever.

Mr Chae might just be what esf needs, good call i think.
