They actually did, here's the Korean article : http://esports.dailygame.co.kr/view.php?ud=2014103114434533231 한국e스포츠협회가 주관하는 KeSPA컵 스타크래프트2 종목의 대회가 세 차례로 확대된다. KeSPA Cup SC2 Tournaments, run by KeSPA, will be upsized to 3 seasons. KeSPA는 2015 시즌에 국내 활동 선수들에게 보다 많은 WCS포인트를 제공하기 위해 단기 토너먼트 KeSPA컵을 3회로 확대 개최할 예정이다. In KeSPA Cup 2015, It's planned to be held for 3 seasons to provide more WCS Points for Korean players. And after that, another article released ... http://sports.news.naver.com/sports/index.nhn?category=e_sports&ctg=news&mod=read&office_id=109&article_id=0003015176 ... 12일 e스포츠업계에 정통한 관계자는 "한국e스포츠협회가 올해 3회 진행하기로 했던 KeSPA컵이 당초 예정과 달리 2회로 축소 진행될 가능성이 높아졌다. ... 12th March. an interested person said "It seems KeSPA Cup will be downsized to 2 seasons, which is proviously planned for 3 seasons. 스타크래프트2를 승인하기로 했던 블리자드와 조율이 원활하게 되지 않으면서 2월말에서 3월초로 예정됐던 1회 대회는 자연스럽게 무산됐다"고 전했다... 1st tournament -scheduled for late Fed to early March- was cancelled due to lack of communication with Blizzard, promised to accredit (as a WCS tournament). So they originally planned to hold SC2 KeSPA Cup for 3 seasons a year. But one of them was cancelled. So i think LoL KeSPA Cup is not one of em, but i'm not sure how many seasons will be held in 2016. | ||

If you carefully read the articles above i posted, you'll learn the first article says they were SC2 tournaments and the second article says the about tournaments downsized to 2 seasons. If KeSPA planned to hold LoL KeSPA Cup or other game's tournament at that moment(early 2015), the articles must not say they were SC2 and one tournament was cancelled. | ||

Korean Scene is so screwed for those who are not consistent Top 8 players that can qualify for at least either GSL or SSL. Oh, and Terrans are royally screwed in any qualifier currently, but they should just micro better I presume /s. | ||

If the GSL and SSL tournaments are awarded with points on the same level as WCS seasons compared to other tournaments, it is probable, that the winner of any Kespa tournament will not qualify for BlizzCon unless he also ends 1st or 2nd in GSL or SSL. | ||
