Any news on Axiom?


Is there any real benefit for them to join?

Yes, but 99% no (so far as I know)
They would have someone to help them out, but they don't need any help whatsoever. Always nice to have a helping hand always reached out, but when you don't need it, there isn't any reason for it.


Sad though. I was hoping they would join KeSPA and go ProLeague.

Good for eSF though. Hope they are a much better organization in 2013!!

Honestly, GOM should expand and look to be an overpowering eSports broadcasting station. Broadcasting all major revenue earning eSports titles and having their own "eSF" so to speak.
I don't see why people hate KeSPA's model to "own" players. It's done in most major sports. It's obviously the better business model and it works perfectly.
I think GOM made steps in this direction when they finally became a leader in eSF (they did that right?), but eSF should just completely belong to GOM.

Really hoping that SPOTV(KeSPA), GOMTV, and OGNTV all become huge SC2 broadcasting stations, and that SC2 in Korea explodes to much further heights.

Azubu seems like they might be my favorite team! I hope their players, especially Eve, show much success, and help restore balance to the force ^_^

One benefit I can think of for eSF players is getting spots for eSF in qualifiers, like MLG where eSF and Kespa each got 6 slots but independant Korean players only got 3 spots. Same with whatever the IPL seed thing is.

Ugh.
If only they had joined kespa instead. It would have been so much easier. But i guess they dont want to since the kespa team league goes still on for another 10months and i dont think they could have joined mid way.
Anyone who follows LoL know how big of a force azubu is to recon with. Forecasting a long and painful strugle between esf and kespa.

Man, I don't know what team to root for. T__T

Azubu: NaDa, Ganzi, Eve
Axiom: Ryung, Crank, and of course TB.
IM: MVP <--- Favorite SC2 Player
TL: Teaja, Hero,
KT: Flash <--- Favorite BW player

Things were so much easier when all the good Terran players were on SlayerS and then their was IMMVP.

Please, don't buy into this notion that ESF are the good guys. They are more than willing to choke out any team that isn't under their control, if they had the power to. Slayers didn't join ESF, and didn't listen to ESF's orders, so what does ESF do? Impose a practice ban on Slayers and effectively turn every Slayers player into an outcast in the Korean SC2 scene.

If ESF was more powerful, they would do the exact same thing as Kespa does: Dominate and control the scene, and prevent any other organizations from challenging their control.
Team Slayers, Axiom-Acer and Vile forever

It would be cool to watch maybe, but I'd have to avoid logging onto TL for the week before and after it. No thanks.

I like this move. ESF needs to stay strong and losing TSL recently showed some slip.
Anything can be acheived through persistence and thought

Makes sense, considering their roster is composed entirely of former ESF players.

Not a surprising move. It's good to see another team rise from the ashes from some of the recently deceased teams.
