EPTAlso the bottom of the article states e-Sports Federation Players Representative Nestea. That's pretty awesome.

On the other, I say "FUCK" because the Auction All-Kill OSL was going to be what brings SC2 to the masses in Korea. If it fails, SC2 in Korea is doomed to never grow. I refuse this statement. It will grow, but it will grow a ton faster if KeSPa would play nice for once. | ||

For fairness, it would also grow faster if the players did not boycott the OSL, however there is a limit where you can let yourself be pushed around by Kespa. | ||

Choya is doing damage control because people think Oz bailed on everyone by staying in OSL. Also the bottom of the article states e-Sports Federation Players Representative Nestea. That's pretty awesome. Awesome. I hope that Oz does as well. I wonder also what Boxer has to say about all of this since he just signed back on with KeSPa. I feel like he would be for working together, but that may just be our hero-worship there. Haha. I hope we can get a full translation soon. | ||

Although this might mean future of sc2 won't be that bright, Kespa needs to be put in place. | ||

Looking back at what happened on gomtv classic, we are worried that this is something that could happen all over again well in the future. Under the agreement of all ESF teams and players who are attending OS(: nestea, mvp, mc, drg, mkp, parting, san), we have agreed to boycott OSL. Reason stated are scattered all over the announcement but it's mostly because they are worried that GSL might be squeezed out and that might be the end of ESF as well. (OZ is not in the list because he is not part of ESF, MC ,however is in the list) good for them. Well, that escalated quitckly. I'll be honest with you, this is a poor decision on part of the ESF. I understand that they are upset that the Kespa players are not playing in GSL. But let's be honest, they don't need to, and I think that the hype that could be built between the remergence of Kespa vs Gom could be a great storyline for esports in Korea. However, that is not the main reason why. You can't fight fire with fire. ESF (up until now) has done nothing to upset the Korean fans, they are not at fault for anything, but right now, you can say ESF is not being any better than Kespa. ESF is denying as much kespa vs gom than kespa is, except, this time, the OSL will not be able to run without the already qualified ESF players. Pulling players out of a qualifier, although for reasons that make many people wonder, is not as bad as completely ruining a tournament. (which is essentially what ESF has done with the OSL). They just made this situation a whole lot more complicated than it actually needed to be. Such rash decisions are not only hurting the fans, but also the players and the coaches. I obviously know that kespa is the main entity to blame here, but ESF is not making the matters any better by pulling out of the OSL. Anyways, it seems like Blizzard is coming to try to resolve things, it would have been nice to know their input before ESF decided to pull out of the OSL. Blizzard, please come to the rescue. PS: we want LAN | ||

Well, he is just a coach now, which doesn't translate into a lot power with sponsors (even if he built the team in the first place). | ||

That just shows you how much KeSPA is hated even in Korea when internet actually supportive of anything. | ||
