Good news I guess if only to avoid stuff like the slayers discrimination.
In terms of esf vs kespa, we'll see. Kespa can be a real dick at times.

One of the few mitigating decisions eSF could make to get a fresh/er start. From what I can understand, I'm very happy with this.

- eSF = eSports Federation = 7 SC2 teams from Korea that are not part of KeSPA, namely Startale, LG-IM, MVP, Prime, TSL, NSHoseo and FXOpen.

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.


That was the OLD esf, the ones who FXO spoke out against a long time ago, the latest version of ESF has been much better

I think it's off that anything other than teams/players should represent a team/player union. eSF also exists to represent teams/players in relation to GomTV itself and that's clearly going to result in a conflict of interest. I hope these guys know what they're doing.

This is great news. I look forward to see how the dynamics change within the eSF. This, along with the recent teaming up of MLG, DH...et al should bring about some much needed positive change.

- Gretech(the company behind GomTV) has accepted the previous eSF president's(Jong Wook Won, head coach of Startale) offer to lead the organization.


Is this wise? Considering the mistakes made last time and was he not also the head of the organization before esf (not exactly a success either)?
I Protoss winner, could it be?

WHY? They should merge KesPa and ESF, there are so many conflicts...

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!

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


I think you mean not let KeSPA walk all over them instead of fight because that sounds counter productive when you look at their mandate.

It's KeSPA and we're not anywhere near the time where KeSPA would accept them into the organization.

It's exactly what ESF needs.
