No it means an organisation of Korean government that is meant to protect Korean e-sport teams from thing like this, is actually doing its job.

keSPA didn't help on TSL, Slayers, NSHS, oGs

It's funny how theres an organization supposedly created for that very purpose but it ended up spreading lies, bullying teams and now doing one single task of publishing rosters list

KeSPA is trying to get the OGN LOL going.

Since LGIM is one of their big teams there, they kinda want to spread their protectorate.

Hope this turns out well for IM, and hope this doesn't scare sponsors away from Korean teams...

I thought IM's LoL team was pretty bad.

Well, we know what this means: if IM doesn't get a good sponsor, and this entire thing falls through, they're gonna be cherry-picked by KeSPA once the trade-agreement ends.

OP should translate the official statement of KeSPA's president. It's pretty awesome and encouraging. The OP's article is a little confusing since it doesn't specify when the KeSPA made the announcement.


Can you summarize it please?

IM.LoL is still good enough to have a team in top16. That's pretty good for Korea, tbh.

On the other part... Team8.1 incomming?

I think kespa would rather work with IM than take the players, they need more teams.

Funnily enough this information gets thrown around every time. LG-IM are top 16 in Korea at best in LoL, they literally only serve as the gatekeepers for the OCL right now and overhauled most of their roster just recently in desperate hope to make it out of the groupstages some day. They were often called the worst teams in OGN Champions this season.

Not saying that being top 16 and consistently qualifying for the, granted extremely competitive, tournament is bad, but they are far from being one of the big boys there.

Don't you need like a sizeable deposit to participate in PL? Even if KeSPA wants IM in PL, if IM doesn't have the money to make it there, then there's only so much KeSPA can do to pave the road. :/

eSF has no leverage.

(Maybe IM got annoyed at eSF for foisting Tassadar on them and decided to run to KeSPA instead after that incident, hehhhh. )

What i suggest from you guys is to contact the sponsor in question and let them know that it is really disapointing.
Those companies have no ends to their greedyness its disgusting...

I guess that's why IM asked people to show their support to LG earlier. I'm glad KeSPA is working on resolving this, this is very unfair.

It's a security deposit, to make sure teams don't drop mid season. It's possible that Kespa can change the rules if they really want more teams in PL.

Now all those interviews with IM players about their supervisor being troubled give sense. Didnt seem right to me for quite a long time. But not getting any money for almost a year while being one of the absolute top teams, that horrible. Hope they sort it out. Also I like this relation between IM and Kespa. Proleague gogo!
