Contacting the player are done by the organizer of the Starcraft part of WEC, as far as I know the players were contacted and all agreed to play, I can provide chat log for proof. It's more about KeSPA worrying about the credibility of the event, they asked for credible files from the organization and probably didn't receive satisfying results.

Love those tournaments where the Korean qualifier looks like a blizzcon and the main event like a foreigner tournament farmed by two Korean players. This makes no sense at all. I would prefer those kind of korean all-star fight occurs in a proper tournament designed to do so with the media coverage it merits.

So Kespa is openly lying in their statement? This all seems a bit weird, I hope, that you can make the best out of this situation.

Why are they?
KeSPA just want to protect players, noone wants to be bited in butt with another WPC and so on.

Awww. I was really looking forward to the most stacked bracket of all time.

It seems weird that KESPA would lie about something like this, I hope that's not actually the case

I don't know, I do believe the organizer did follow the rules of business by contacting teams and players beforehand, if KeSPA has concerns and their concerns are not solved it's totally understandable that they ask their players to pull out, frankly hell even I don't know how WEC will end up but judging from what I know about the history of the organizer I have faith in them. But KeSPA straight out spiting out bullshit reasons instead of being honest is beyond me. It's like they have no confidence whatsoever about their concern.

While I can't say anything about the legitimacy of the tournament, giving reasons, that can apperently proven to be not true

Chuddinater, who works for KeSPA, stated that the organizers of WEC had never actually contacted the teams or players in the first place, and had simply released the bracket hoping they would show up.

sounds like open lying to me. Like I said, I hope everything gets figured out, but in the end I fear that the withdraw might be permanent and Taeja just got a lot easier road to his next 25k.

HYPE level would die down instantly.

Well it's kinda like the top 8 of a reasonably large tournament....yay?


Yes, but in comparison it would still sucks balls

A spokesman from Kespa claimed that WEC never contacted players or teams.

Thank you digmouse. It's always important to have some insiders to communicate with foreign community (I mean non-Chinese community).

Btw, do you know whether players will be paid for their travels and hotels? I've heard someone mentioned about it but haven't found those information on WEC's website.

I took a look at that bracket and thought to myself that this is THE sickest tournament ever and then I realised it's just a korean qualifier to the main event... This qualifier alone would overshadow many many events and certainly the one it qualifies to.

I would love to see them all play, perfect bracket!

It seems like Kespa really doesn't like the rest of the world...
They seem to be trying to hang on to the old ways of things, but the results of non-Kespa Korean players is ridiculous, just look at Taeja! And Bomber has a personal sponsor!
