I don't have the permission to translate this article so I will try to sum it up in bullet points.



- eSF = eSports Federation = 7 SC2 teams from Korea that are not part of KeSPA, namely Startale, LG-IM, MVP, Prime, TSL, NSHoseo and FXOpen.



- Gretech(the company behind GomTV) has accepted the previous eSF president's(Jong Wook Won, head coach of Startale) offer to lead the organization.



- Together with the announcement they unveiled "10 Visions", things the organization will strive to achieve. Relevant ones:

1. Educate players and coaches alike on professional behavior. AKA less drama making.

2. Search for sponsors and other means to sustain the teams.

3. Support for other eSports titles.

4. Cooperation with KeSPA.

5. Cooperation with foreign players and organizations.

The MLG-ESL-DreamHack partnership is also a promising sign of cooperation. I love this spirit of renewed enthusiasm in working together for eSports! IMMvp (정종현) | Fan Club: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=211431

EDIT: As long as Mr Chae is involved I think the best interests of the players will always be a big priority, with him having been a pro/competitive gamer back in the day.

Art.FeeL Profile Blog Joined September 2007 1163 Posts #15 I don't think this is good for the scene. It would be much better if there was only one organization like this between all korean proteams I am a great believer in luck. The harder I work the luckier I am.

MCXD Profile Blog Joined February 2012 Australia 2732 Posts #16 "Cautiously optimistic" is also the word I would use. This seems like a very good thing, but there is a potential for it to all go wrong down the line too. Hopefully it works out for the better.

eSF was made to fight Kespa though so teaming up with kespa to fight kespa doesnt make sense eSF was made to fight Kespa though so teaming up with kespa to fight kespa doesnt make sense

I like how they call it a "vision" and "ultimately aiming" for it...



"Vision" like it was something complicated like a superconductor and not just putting one and one together.



"Ultimately aiming for a unified League" like there were any real drawbacks to it ("we don't like each other" doesn't count) and not the obviously best next step for both sides.

Now bring back the MLG/GSL partnership and we have a world wide united tourny scene for sc2, and Kespa..... "I think bringing a toddler to a movie theater is a terrible idea.
