EPTI guess it could put gom in a awkward position depending on how things go and how their relationship with kespa is already. If all the teams join kespa (basically dissolving esf), then gom might be left out. Hopefully this is all good news though^^

It really depends on GOM though. Seems to me that the teams have little choice. They kind of have to join and this has made it so much easier for them. If this were the case, it would be great. | ||

It just undermines the level of seriousness and prestige that Proleague had if teams can just come and go season by season. But I guess you have to make up the numbers somehow. While it does make Proleague somewhat less prestigious, the fact that there are more teams would make the competition much fiercer. | ||

Less prestigious is sometimes code for "different". A more open system that allows different teams to try out will be better for everyone. It means a lower barrier to entry for newer teams or teams from outside of Korea. | ||

If game developers pay their share of membership fee, the money will be used to promote eSports, organzing amateur tournaments this hopefully will mean that e.g. Blizzard kind of just needs to shove some money into the scene to build it up (which they are doing now, but in a very inefficient manner) I hope all other aspects make sense businesswise for GOM | ||

4. If game developers pay their share of membership fee, the money will be used to promote eSports, organzing amateur tournaments like the Presidential Cup, and supporting eSports teams and players. The Association will actively support the domestic amateur scene, later IeSF will join the Sports Accord, to further provide support for the globalization of eSports. What does this mean? Game developers paying membership fees and being members of kespa? Maybe I'm being cynical but this seems like it's opening a path to game developers (riot) to officially influence what tournaments get run and what games teams can play, as a dota fan this has me very worried. This is great news for sc2 though IMO. | ||

This is great news for sc2 though IMO. I don't think Riot needs to pay for anything in Korea right now tbh. As long as Nexon just pays for online exposure and not TV exposure, I doubt it could become a threat to them. So I wouldn't worry too much about it right now.  | ||

I say this again, a unified Proleague needs to become the backbone of the sc2 scene, with maybe 2-3 individual leagues a year. That is the model that most modern sports have adopted, especially soccer. Elimination tournaments are great for viewers, but only once in a while - that is why we do not see the champions league being held 4 times a year. | ||
