Kespa is the only organization that has managed to keep a team league together for Starcraft for 15 years. You don't have to agree with everything they do, but the hate really is unwarranted. But sure, boycott the one group that is actually successful and profitable at providing the best SC content in the world.

You can get disqualified in Golf for making a mistake writing the score yourself (even though there are professional score keepers watching everybody) even if you immediately realize the mistake. There's plenty of stupid DQ rules in sports.

I like that argument. It should have some sort of latin logical fallacy name specific to it. "Something is worse therefore it is acceptable."

The question was "who else".
The answer is a shit tonne of other professional sports organizations.
Or am I just supposed to sarcastically snark and shit over the one organization holding the korean scene together in a circle jerk?

is Kespa keeping the scene together or do they strive to monopolize the scene that they already have a strangle hold on?

i may not be the most informed... but i get the impression Kespa needs a large dose of Don't be Evil.

What was all that fuss about kespa players can't play in GSL until we allow them to. Oh kespa thanks for allowing!

It seems many people here think Kespa tried to boycott GSl, but that's wrong. Kespa never said they were going to boycott . There was only one article that boycotting GSL was discussed as far as I know, and it only said that some of players and coaches were considering boycotting GSL. You may say that Kespa manipulated them to express such idea from behind, but ever since Savior started his first streaming, a lot of players, ex-players, and coaches expressed how unpleasant they felt that the person who ruined the gaming scene making money with gaming.

You may not agree with those people, but that't majority of progaming scene, and regardless that's right or wrong, I think it's enough to show that boycotting was not forced by kespa like years ago when they boycotted gsl, but it was rather voluntary actions from many players. So it's not really Kespa being evil, but the players expressing their opinion, and trying to achieving what they wanted. Although I think it was their just right, but if you think that's wrong, then the evil ones are not Kespa, but the players and the coaches.

Also, In my opinion, Afreeca had to choose either Savior, Hwasin, and etc or so many other players and teams as their business partner, and they just chose the bigger one with greater profit for them.

are you referring to "KESPA Players Allowed to play in GSL Season 4" ?

well... a few things

1. we are on a digital medium not a physical one
2. just because NHL does it ... are we going with the 'it's always been done that way' argument?

seems to me korean players are happy to get out of kespa and join foreign teams... what is that about the 'rigorous practice' regime they enforce?

Well it was a rhetorical question. He was not really asking who else does it, because no one else does anything remotely close to dq'ing people for "ppp", and you have to go quite far away from eSports to find something as crazy, and even then it's an absolutely stupid rule which at least has some basis in rationality, it's to prevent people from cheating. Only KESPA is nuts enough to dq a player for a typo.

And no you're not supposed to join the alleged circlejerk, but wow gold? Nice try...

Right... there's never been people DQ-ed in the esports arena for tweets, random comments, user names and barcodes, draconian region locks and sign up restrictions (fucking over Chinese players), tournament organizers themselves fucking up and not informing players of rescheduling...... Do I even need to refer to shit that happens out side of SC2?
MLG/WCS/ other reputable organizations would never do anything like that, only Kespa.

Just a friendly reminder that you may need to move out of the United States.
