Source: http://esfiworld.com/news/after-esfs-threat-boycotting-osl-kespa-decided-participate-gsl-season-5 On Aug. 24, KeSPA released a statement that they will participate the next GSL after GSL Season 4. In order to prevent another fallout of leagues as eSports Federation made a statement to boycott OSL, all teams in KeSPA decided to participate the next GSL tournament that will happen after GSL Season 4.

Here is the direct source for the article that OP provided, if anyone who speaks Korean fluently wants to clarify whether it states that they WILL or WON'T participate in GSL 5 please help us out here.

Nothing has changed as of this very moment. If schedule is an issue, why not allow b teamers to play? really shitty move by kespa. https://www.twitch.tv/ShowbuTV

Nah, it's much more fun to create drama all over the place and pretend the kneejerk from eSF wasn't at all ridiculous, lolll.



And yeah, eSF should definitely stay out of this OSL anyway - after all, why would we the viewers want to see tournaments running smoothly and games between players that we are fans of! Preposterous!

pencil_ethics Profile Joined January 2011 New Zealand 174 Posts #14 Right now the prevailing opinion in the Korean community is "Don't fall for KeSPA's bull****, this is how the GOMTV Classic got wiped off the face of the planet; since they're not participating in this season's GSL, keep the Federation out of this season's Starleague".



Nobody trusts KeSPA over there, whether they are Brood War fans or StarCraft II fans.

rasnj Profile Joined May 2010 United States 1959 Posts #15 Well GSL season 5 won't be until after this upcoming OSL (so not until November). If the ESF teams wanted to match the KeSPA decision, they should announce that they will keep out of this OSL, but participate in the next one.

geno Profile Blog Joined October 2007 United States 1393 Posts #17 This still feels like a power play to me. I really hope ESF doesn't take this as a win and sticks by their guns in regards to the OSL boycott. Season 4 or bust.



The first half-conciliation can be such a slippery slope, and I wouldn't trust KeSPA to stand by their word on this without a more pressing incentive than "to prevent another fallout of leagues."



It still sounds like they are not taking this situation seriously to me.
