If you look at their history with GOM, you will realize that they might not like certain parts of Korea as well.

Feels like Kespa doesn't really care about their players, just the image of their organization.

A message from xiaose, well-known Chinese Starcraft caster and organizer presentative for WEC Starcraft event, who asked me to relay the message to Teamliquid and r/starcraft:
"I‘m the caster who is in charge of arranging the player list, there is no reason for me to 'fake a roster and wait for the players to come', I do have all the confirmations from the participating teams and players, thus I submitted the roster. The organizer did sent email to KeSPA and confirmed that it is a Blizzard sanctioned event but KeSPA ultimately ignored it, and furthermore notify that their teams will not be playing. I understand KeSPA's concerns, but please pay respect to the truth, don't lie, don't try to escape responsibility. All in all, I am only a caster and an avid Starcraft player, all I want is great Starcraft games, I don't have any personal gain in this."

Feels like Kespa doesn't really care about their players, just the image of their organization. They let them go to Dreamhacks/MLG's etc. I'd call confirming a tournament (and prize's) legitimacy as looking out for the players. If anything it's WEC's fault for not having official documents ready when trying to host a world class event. Besides, WEC should've contacted Kespa first if they wanted to use their players to promote a tourney. Anyone with a clue about the Korean scene should know this. Going straight to confirming teams/players without contacting the governing body was naive/stupid.
But sure, all aboard the kespa hate train.

It's sad for herO

It isn't worth starting a fuss over.
I have an account over what is happening here... Originally what happened was this was supposed to be a 16-player qualifier, then so many people began inquiring the status of this tournament, so it was changed to a 32 man tournament.

I believe WEC, but there is really no reason for drama.

Oh, no, I don't hate Kespa, I just think that they are too elitist and/or unwilling/slow to change. I can understand the concern since there have been shady dealings in the past about payments, but that doesn't make EVERY tournament shady. I feel it really restricts players unnecessarily when they can tell players they aren't allowed to play at some event for any reason/no reason.

Geez KeSPA. Not cool at all.
|
kespa has spent a fortune cultivating their players and scene. for WEC to come in and get the cream of the crop without even contacting the governing body--kespa--reeks of amateurism. it sounds like kespa got wind of this tourney and decided to flex their muscles. maybe if WEC gives kespa some cash, they will let all of their players attend
|
I no longer see anything worth being upset over at this point. Kespa decided not to have players play in the qualifier. Now there is just a bunch of top-tier foreigner team Koreans who all win the foreign tournaments left. Still sounds like an amazing qualifier.
At least now Innovation has better chances of winning

When I said this was almost too good to be true, I didn't mean it like this -__-
