@ Destroyr Thanks, do my best to convey my ideas clearly on here.
"I dont know but it can be a possibility that the whole korean scene merges back together if SC II is established at the new old teams... In this case we might only have koreans at MLG."
Do you meen that the old Korean teams will be the only teams in MLG now? I would think that this will hurt the scene. If it's only Koreans, MLG could move over to Korea. No reason to have it in North America if there are no Americans in it, right?

marking the first time in eSports history that KeSPA players will participate in video game tournaments in the United States.
Not true.
 WCG 2010
However, this partnership opens a vast amount of opportunities for the players, if these organizations plan on funding the players travel and hotel expenses.Last edit: 2012-05-11 17:38:02 |

| The Problem is, that the korean Starcraft scene is still more or less cut in half. There is Kespa on the one side and the rest on the other. Still a lot of work needs to be done, to bringt both together. |

I think this exclusive thing is not because of MLG but Kespa.
You think wrong!
OK. Then why MLG didn't sign an exclusive contract with GSL? You think "contract" means one party decides everything?
They got what they wanted from GSL. MLG only became that big because of the koreans. Before them who cares about Incontrol vs Painuser for #Top5 lol! MLG didn't renewed the partnership with GSL, because they don't need it. They invite the koreans to their PPV-rip-offs and thats enough. Because so many koreans are on foreigner teams now, they will have enough koreans at their events. Now its the same. With all the hype about BW-Pros switching to SC2, MLG wants a piece of the cake. I hope all the big names of BW fail hard in SC2 and get raped by CodeB players - then MLG paid alot of money for nothing! haha
I dont get why you would hope for that to happen? don't you wanna further e-sports instead of hoping things like this fail regardless of the business side of things?
It depends on your view of eSports. Do you want eSports to continue to grow in the way that it is? With all its charm with brand new tournaments popping up, shows, commentators, pros, sponsors. Or do you want it to become an organization, like the NFL? Rules, regulations, set season, set staff, exclusive players, no cross league play, etc...
Because that is clearly MLGs ultimate goal. |

Would have to think they would have their own league. |

| This deal being exclusive is pretty troubling. |

| Wait. How about the other way around? It sounds like this "partnership" involves just Koreans coming to MLG events. Will we be sending Western players to compete in Kespa events in Korea? |

probably not. Though it's still more likely than GSL players participating in kespa leagues |

| It basically seems to mean there will be Kespa/OGN/GOM in Korea (assuming ofc they're not totally side tracking GOM on this and the MLG deal only applies for non-korean events) and then MLG outside of Korea. Exclusive means exclusive, so Flash et al. will not set foot in any other tournaments... "Growing e-sports", right.... |

Well the more i think about this deal the more i hate it. Can Kespa player Stream? doubt it. they are not even allowed to play showmatch. Now they can go to MLG and Kespa stuff and that it. This is a huge kick in the nuts to all the other leagues. I dont really fault MLG to get in on this deal, prety sure kespa want to keep his force choke grip on their players and MLG was just being a good buisness.
Cant say i support this. man why couldnt kespa be a little more late to the party when team have real big money. Yo, Col.Bizu, EG flash, Liquid Jaedong. That would have been the greatest thing for sc2. this deal, its going to rise esport to a new level for sure, but its going to do so by steping on the corpses of people letf out.
EG Flash would suck, Liquid Jaedong would suck, Col.Bisu would suck. They got far not only because of their talent, but because of their training conditions, these teams don't have players that practice as much.
KT and SKT1 send their entire teams on vacations to Hawaii, Thailand, etc. in the offseason. I'm pretty sure they're doing alright to sustain Flash and Bisu's contracts for the next 100 years if need be.
True that  |

Competitors? What? It's been said Kespa players may well actually be competing in GSL and GSL players will be able to compete possibly in the proleague and the OGN league. There is no problem. Also Tastosis can cast MLG no problem. Why would this new influx affect casters. |
