Yeah i know they send players from time to time. But JD kinda goes to "every" tournament there is, that is hardly possible for a kespa team i fear.

Samsung and CJ make it happen. To reiterate, I think JD values being good more than he values being able to go everywhere. He's had plenty of time to travel the world, but with his recent dip in form I think a drastic move (ie. back to KeSPA) is a real option for him.

Yes, that's why they're all on top of the WCS rankings 
How many times Rain and Parting have been abroad in 2014? Flash participated to 1 event yeah!
None of them will be seen at blizzcon.
People are blaming blizzard for the WCS points, but there s only one responsible : KeSPA.

That's not true. KeSPA teams cannot afford to send their players everywhere because there is very little return of investment in doing so. Their sponsors are mostly Korean companies with no interest in overseas tournaments because the viewers there cannot buy their products. KeSPA teams have to focus on Proleague to satisfy their sponsors, or it would be even less of a worthwhile investment than today. To say that KeSPA teams are at fault for doing what they have to do in order to not sink is ignorant.

I don't say they don't have valid reason from their point of view, I just say they just mechanicaly prevent their best players from going to Blizzcon which these players don't seem to appreciate much.
(and in the long run it may hurt them even more if more star player decide to follow Rain and Parting)

I'm sure Kespa gladly sends players to foreign tournaments if the Players pay the flight and lodging out of their own pocket... Seirously it costs 2000+ Euro per weekend Tournament per player, you dont wanna do this with your whole freaking roster, so its only natural that Kespa doesnt send them to everything like EG/roccat (who does it with 1 single Player only btw) does.

PartinG joins Wayi, YFW joins SPL, PartinG doesn't play in the next season of SPL. It's logical.
Edit: also Rain joins Samsung, stays godlike and gets to travel around the world.

Don't they have any foreign stakes they can advertise? Or in Jin Air's case, their parent company. Japan's Softbank, for example, has a stake in Sprint-Nextel and Alibaba. Kespa should seriously try to get more Korean multinational sponsors.
