Seriously, at this moment in time, can you think of any other team in the world that deserves this sponsorship more than IM? Guys, do you remember how LG started supporting IM back in February of 2012? Then immediately afterwards, Mvp won GSL? Then straight after that, Seed won GSL? Then IM won IPL TAC 3? First took second at MLG Summer. YongHwa took second at HSC, then won WCG KR. IM placed second in IPTL... twice. First won IEM, then Mvp won IEM. Mvp placed second in GSL... making it his 6th finals! IM won the preliminary GSTL. HotS came out and IM took 1st-4th at IEM (YoDa, First, YongHwa, Mvp). Mvp won WCS EU. IM just won GSTL again! How can you argue with results like those? | ||

People weren't exactly praising KeSPA back in BW either, though, and I seem to recall reading that the Korean netizens aren't huge fans of the organisation either. Of course they're doing (and have been for a while) the scene a lot of good, but that doesn't mean people aren't allowed to call them out when they do stupid shit like they often do. | ||

(Maybe IM got annoyed at eSF for foisting Tassadar on them and decided to run to KeSPA instead after that incident, hehhhh.  )You don't run to kespa. You have to have major corporation behind to join kespa which even stx and wjs is struggled now. | ||

:O You learn something new every day! Thanks.  On August 09 2013 04:09 Baroninthetree wrote: You don't run to kespa.

I meant "run to KeSPA" as in "complain to KeSPA, because they're much better at leveraging their position than eSF." The Tassadar comment was obviously a joke. | ||

The question may be. What is a stupid thing? When they do something, you can call it a stupid thing. But for then it really is? In the long term, their decisions are stupid or good? In the end, their decisions make the games better or worse, make the players earn more or less money? BTW, idk the answer. | ||

How can you argue with results like those? not to belittle IM, which is a great team, but the results werent sufficient for LG's purposes. no one else's opinion really matters. | ||

T_T I think Kespa definitely has the power to make them pay damages, continuing sponsorship afterwards is an entirely different thing, I want to be positive but I doubt they will renew the sponsorship. | ||
