and what does "expanded international tournament participation" mean? Does KeSPA consider the possibility of foreign team bailing out after a few rounds?

If it's going to be a year-long season, maybe they could have kicked things off in January and given the players December off or something to relax.

Hopefully there's an in-built break somewhere. But a mid-season or even suspension of standing orders early on still isn't quite the same (past games/upcoming matches are still on your mind, for example).

Seems like the ESF teams are extending the olive branch and Kespa is extending the studded gauntlet, Probly fine for the BW fans, but for newer ppl (aka, got into esports off sc2) its kind of a sad story.

Hopefully well see more friendship in the future!

My guess is Team Acer. Think about it this way:

• They appointed Cella as a coach. It would be a waste of time getting a Korean coach for a primarily European team.
  
• Acer are a pretty big-name sponsor for a team. Perhaps even as big as say.... SK Telecom, Samsung, CJ Corporation, KT etc.
  
• Scarlett's had Korean aspirations. It was one of the reasons she joined Eclypsia and left them after they failed to fulfill their promises on a Korean team house after all.
  
• Acer probably have more than enough funds to rent an apartment in Seoul and use it as a team house.
  
• Acer can acquire loads of Koreans. SlayerS recently disbanded meaning that players like Arthur and Clide are (still) up for grabs; a few really good Koreans such as TOP, VINES, Ensnare, TheWinD etc.
  
• There are a few (even virtually) teamless foreigners with Korean aspirations such as lastshadow and MajOr. If MajOr rejoined ROOT then left again, it probably means that he was actually offered a spot in a team, and if Proleague's coming up, he could be joining Acer soon. MajOr's only been known to leave teams in SC2 when they've either greatly wronged him (Sixjax, although they kicked him over a minor incident of BM) or because another team has given him a better offer than either retracted it or didn't deliver (ROOT, xSix.)
