Mod Edit: translation from Chexx below:

http://www.inven.co.kr/webzine/news/?news=66516&iskin=esports

Kespa Chairman announced at the G-Star Festival that Prime, MVP, IM and Najin joined Kespa.

He also talked about the Next Generation E-Sports Action plan with two stages.

1. Stage: Is to open the door for every party who wants to join in E-Sports activities
2. Stage: Improvement of System and different System plans are the key factor. The Korean Sports Council will hold a meeting in January 2014 and Kespa will apply to become a formal member. (Something with the Iesf and Kespa to face better issues and strengthen esports interests)

On December 28th the SC2 Proleague will start with eight teams Prime, IM, MVP Hotsix, SKT, KT, Samsung, CJ Entus and Green Wings.

Together with Proleague and LoL World Cup participating Teams and Players we will open a "Kespa Shop" as a matching and different Revenue Model. (Details about financing the costs of the shop, the initial costs will be paid by Kespa)

Kespa Chairman said Busan is besides the Movie and Baseball festvial city will also be the Game Festival City. The recent Game regulations policys is because of stagnating Korean games companies. In this Situation the large game companies should be a supportive elder brother.

(The korean companies should try to react reasonably) in the wake of G-Star this should be a restoration period for the korean game companies.






dont see a thread on this yet, so might as well. hopefully we can see those teams play in proleague

yay for another sc2 proleague, pl is one of the few sc2 tournaments I watch, also I think this confirms that there will def be a LoL proleague soon since I don't see why Najin would join kespa unless they want to get into sc2

not surprising. We knew this or rather heard lots of rumours about it from a while back. I believe the prime coach mentioned it in an interview as well. Still, maybe they'll have more success with sponsors

no woongjin in proleague? I hope sos and soulkey join other teams so they can play, or at least join foreign ones that will send them everywhere.

sucks to have a proleague with neither of the finalists from the previous season

I'm hoping sOs and soulkey are at least able to partner with a proleague team so that they can play
