They actually do if you're patient/competent enough.

It's not that bad, they are not going to ban everything, if you have a good back story kespa is not going to shut you down.

Good move. I don't think Kespa will just forbid its players from entering online cups, but they'll probably will ask the organizers for some conditions (reveal the sponsor, no too many observers , etc.) or ask their own players to report if they see something fishy during the tournament.

Let hope, it looks like its being used as a pretext for a control grab....
If not I guess it indirectly helps the foreign scene live on in a world without effective practice.

Finally the iron grip we need. Go KeSPA, rule them all!
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

This doesn't exactly help much given a lot of KR players are outside of KeSPA and further restricts the non-superstar players from chances to get practice and some cash but here's to a large hope that the restrictions KeSPA put onto teams isn't too draconian that legit cups can't get enough players to make them viable.
Flying on the Jin Air hype plane. Lets go Maru, Rogue, sOs and the handsome CJ herO

KeSPA does actually what its supposed to do, gets shit on for it.

Sounds about right.

People have become far too eager to grab pitchforks!

KeSPA doesn't want it's players to be tempted, suspected or even associated with anything that could be shady. I agree...

Hating KeSPA is the "cool" thing to do right now, but I don't get it.

It's kinda funny how KeSPA still sounds like "they" are one entity collective, kinda like Borgs from StarTrek

I think this is a good move depending on if they (kespa) actually put some effort in vetting small online tournament organizers and not just outright dismiss then. That would just hurt the scene.

Then again BasetradeTV, for example, manages to put up solid tournaments without a single Korean in them, so it's not like it's the end of the world if no KeSPA player show up.

kespa observes, understands, and then adapts.

Does it even required a statement from Kespa ? it seems obvious that they'll never work with shady organisations
Or is there a link with the recent betting issue during Dark vs San ? in that case, nice taunt :p
or worst soon 05/16/2010 again (match fixing scandal) ?

We're kespa, your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile. Apm too low, error, apm too low, cancel assimilation. no biological and technological distinctiveness detected.

I don't understand all the hate, isn't this what Kespa is supposed to do? Make statements like this? I'm glad that they're taking the necessary precautions to protect their players and the integrity of the scene, but maybe that's a silly thought from me smh

Was initially thinking this sucks, but as long as there's two leagues and proleague I guess I'm ok with it.

Is this more incentive to leave kespa after getting your training? If you're a beast, why not make your money by participating in as many tournies as you can as opposed to focusing on proleague, gsl, etc where you know you'll probably lose.

So I guess no more KeSPA players in online tournaments now.

B teamers don't have any income. They do things that no one else in the team does. Like washing dishes, errands, etc. Basically maids.
