"I‘m the caster who is in charge of arranging the player list, there is no reason for me to 'fake a roster and wait for the players to come', I do have all the confirmations from the participating teams and players, thus I submitted the roster. The organizer did sent email to KeSPA and confirmed that it is a Blizzard sanctioned event but KeSPA ultimately ignored it, and furthermore notify that their teams will not be playing. I understand KeSPA's concerns, but please pay respect to the truth, don't lie, don't try to escape responsibility. All in all, I am only a caster and an avid Starcraft player, all I want is great Starcraft games, I don't have any personal gain in this."

They let them go to Dreamhacks/MLG's etc. I'd call confirming a tournament (and prize's) legitimacy as looking out for the players. If anything it's WEC's fault for not having official documents ready when trying to host a world class event. Besides, WEC should've contacted Kespa first if they wanted to use their players to promote a tourney. Anyone with a clue about the Korean scene should know this. Going straight to confirming teams/players without contacting the governing body was naive/stupid. But sure, all aboard the kespa hate train. | ||

I have an account over what is happening here... Originally what happened was this was supposed to be a 16-player qualifier, then so many people began inquiring the status of this tournament, so it was changed to a 32 man tournament. | ||

Oh, no, I don't hate Kespa, I just think that they are too elitist and/or unwilling/slow to change. I can understand the concern since there have been shady dealings in the past about payments, but that doesn't make EVERY tournament shady. I feel it really restricts players unnecessarily when they can tell players they aren't allowed to play at some event for any reason/no reason. | ||
