WESA vs WESG vs ESforce

Fans are recently more and more confused about some decisions by teams but there is nothing confusing and everything makes sense when you know who is behind teams. Here is the explanation.It is not a news esport is popular more and more and big money attract big money so some evil (and some just reach) want to use it. Like we see there are 3 major forces atm:- WESA (ESL)- Alisher Usmanov (ESforce)- Alibaba (WESG)Lets look at all of them.

WESA

The core group includes:-ESL-DH-ESEA-WESA (FNATIC, NIP, G2, part of SK)There are also NV, mousesports, NAVI and VP but they are not directly connected with the core of WESA group.

Alisher Usmanov (ESforce)

3rd the richest person in Russia. He owns VP, EPICENTER event and recently 66% of SK and media rights to NAVI

Alibaba

Maaaaaaaaaasive Chinese "ebay" and much more. Investing huge money recently in media and esport. Hosting the biggest ever major - WESG.

WESG major - 1,5 mln $

Of course these groups want to make max profit and dont allow others to dominate them. This is why WESA's core dont allow their players to participate in WESG. Like we see only teams without direct ties to WESA's board play WESG. Mousesports is international and their players had no chance to make serious teams. Navi had only chance as Ukrainians but they kicked Zeus and took Simple who was kicked from Flipside and HR so it was impossible to make dream Ukrainian team. Guardian no chance as Slovakian and Russian players also too weak. Now you dont need to wonder why VP play and why NIP dont play WESG.

WESA in action - EPICENTER 500000$

Like we know the point of WESA is to make exclusive events and share profits among themselves but the outrage was huge so they leave an illusion of making open events like e.g. EPICENTER hosted by Alisher Usmanov's Epic Esports Events. All invited teams are owned by WESA members and just 2 qualifiers. One for CIS which is Usmanov's domain and 2nd for Europe which is in WESA's sphere. No Asia nor America nor Australia. An almost closed event among themselves.

Is it good or bad?

Of course it is bad! They want to make from CS the same what with basketball or MMA/Box. A few federations with their spheres so the scene is divided. Fans cant see who is truly the best. Valve is against this and because of stickers and drops they are still the number 1 but WESA want to dominate everything outside Valve's series. They want their own NBA and they are determined to achieve it. Atm they make non WESA teams and orgs very hard life like e.g. with scheduling matches. ESforce want to dominate CIS and make money so they are open for everything where are money. Alibaba wants to dominate Asia and go global. A new power but the biggest one. Lets hope players will be smarter in the future and make better contracts so they will have more freedom.
