inb4 the winner doesn't get paid and KeSPA was right all along.

KeSPA doesn't deny their players tournaments just to show muscle lol, this is to protect the players. I don't agree with the lying about the bracket though

Whatever happens I hope it's sorted out quickly. The IEM Toronto qualifiers are on the same day which means the deadline for sign ups will be in the next couple of days. Would hate to have the players miss out on it because of this mess.

Then we'll never see him in another tournament. Is that what you really want?

If KeSPA pulls their players out, this bracket is effectively neutered to oblivion.
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

Sending their players to a questionable tournament where they might not get paid properly or on time or compensated for travel? When's the last time you've ever heard a Kespa player complain about tournaments not paying them? Non-kespa players on the other hand...

the typical amount of hate and ignorance in this thread reflects how eSport is still a joke industry, at least in the west. Can you haters count how many players didnt get prize paid, screwed over every week? Whats so beneficial for your players to play in shady journey that cant even identify itself?

So basically, half the players I didn't care about anyway dropped out, and everyone left is someone I'm a big fan of? Still looks like an awesome tournament to me! I'll definitely be watching it.

I highly doubt the current KeSPA would be doing this out of greed or spite. They wouldn't show off their power over the players this way, it makes little sense. Certainly lying about the player list wasn't a great touch, but at least I believe that this choice has a reason. If you look at the WEC prize pool, its RIDICULOUSLY high. If the announcement is that high, I would seriously like to see the sponsors and their words on that money, as such a high level tournament really shouldn't have ANY shady stuff surrounding it. Hopefully this mess does indeed get solved as quickly as possible, as it conflicts with IEM Toronto qualifiers, and it will be a pain in the butt for the players if they miss out on a great opportunity such as this due to shady business.

I do agree on this, I think KeSPA's concern about the tourney is in good will and is completely valid, but the part of denying the fact that the organizers contacted players and teams kinda pisses people off. The general consensus here mainly blame KeSPA for that, not a lot of people argue about their concern itself.

If it makes you feel any better, I am the caster for the event and I'm in the same boat (more or less) with the players. I am willing to take the risks too.

Euh no, pretty much everyone in here who writes something like "kespa kills starcraft again" probably didn't even read the op.
It is just easier to hate on kespa, it is some sort of tradition really.

KeSPA is obviously right to react like they does. Maybe they are wrong and everything'll run fine, prize pool'll be paid. But they can't know for sure atm

Not liking KeSPA is a completely fine position to have, but keep in mind that they are the ones - to some extent, anyway - that keep Proleague and the teams going. KeSPA aren't flawless, but their organization isn't structured like it is because they want to fuck the players over at all. They have made significant contributions to both Starcraft scenes, and I think it's silly to act like all they ever do is ruin stuff.
