i dont really get it... technically bogus/innovation was there for the GSL ro4, and IPL5 open bracket was just a bonus to him, did IPL5 even "invited" bogus to play in their tournament?

Oh please. If KeSPA doesn't keep Jaedong paid, ESF or foreign teams will gladly pick him up.


another kespa team would buy him 100% in the event that t8 disbanded. it's not like foreign teams have the money to buy jaedong to begin with, EG would literally have to release every other sc2 player on their team to afford him.

Never said anything about scams. Just that IPL will do what it needs with no regard to KeSPA's interests, which is fair. And that KeSPA is right to protect its own interests.

Last Time i checked, BW was runnin for good 10 years, while in the West we already failed to run an eSport- like events in the past, so I think your point is useless.

Well, I still kinda believe that EG has more money than some teams in KesPA (Woongjin comes to my mind).

I don't agree, it's different times, and LoL is growing everywhere to way bigger scale than BW ever did in the west. The Koreans need to expand their mindset, need to accept that they actually have to deal and respect these foreign companies. Yes, I said LoL, this is an SC2 thread, but the argument is the same.

Now, it is clear from this statement and Bogus in IPL, they are not exclusive.

I don't see this as clear at all. The deal was publicly announced, so I have trouble believing everyone was just lying. They're allowed to send people to other tournaments - it's just that they need MLG's permission to do so. I think this statement is mostly just a way to seem reasonable. I think you'll get nice cooperation on some tournaments, but IPL (which is the most directly competing with MLG) probably has very little shot.

Am I the only one who just wants KeSPA to die quickly? I don't get why people adore them so much, they're full of drama, full of bullshit, and always think they're in the right.


Compared to the esf which has never been involved in any drama *COUGH NASL COUGH* of *COUGH everything involving Slayers ever COUGH* course.

The entire esports scene is a dramafest of epic proporitions. Kespa is comparitively quiet. When's the last time you heard of Kespa managers bitching out their players in public (which is to say, in media such as twitter etc.)?


Dear, would you like me to make you some chicken noodle soup? I think you may be coming down with a cold.

Leave us to speculation unless you want to say something definite.
