Can someone well informed explain how this structure is financially feasible? Seems like they're just taking a sizable chunk of former revenue and making it optional, and relying on goodwill to survive... =/
What is best? To crush the Zerg, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of the Protoss.

I'm going to see this development as a positive thing.
And we'll see what else the future will bring.
Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not. 파이팅! ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ"

This seems pretty good to me, esf and Kespa were in difficulty, both parties are now reunited in some sort

Does this pave the way to GSTL + Proleague merge?

With this move, the biggest question is between the broadcasting factions: OGN and GOM.

Neither will just throw away viewers so easily.

But, a strong move by Kespa. I hope basically the Korean scene unites one way or another and that the broadcasting gets worked out in a beneficial way also.

Since all SC2 teams will now be on KeSPA it definitely does in a way, however the original KeSPA teams and the eSF teams need to come to some sort of an agreement.

I'd be suprised if LG-IM and MVP didn't hop across.

No though, in a sense, eSF no longer needs to exist. It was formed to protect the interests of the original SC2 teams in South Korea given that KeSPA for a while refused to knowledge SC2 as an eSport (wouldn't give out pro gamer licenses for it and such), and also to protect the teams from KeSPA potential bullying when they did get into SC2. Now that the eSF teams can be part of KeSPA they will have a say in how it operates and can more easily protect their interests, thus eSF has become kind of redundant.

I think it's a good move. Kespa always seemed a bit stubborn and confined to their own small world, that might change now.
