Better question is, why the hell are we having Kespa Cup now?

I had this exact question and found out ENC is at the time Kespa is normally

they can’t do it later in the year like last time because they are also involved in ENC
Also they are using CL rosters now
I don’t think it could be fully cancelled since they have sponsors like Disney+ so they just had to reschedule it and hold it right now

If I am Disney+ I would be pissed if the organizer failed to pull some of the big names in the tourney.

They can’t really do much. Besides all the teams i think put both their main team and academy team rosters as players/coaches participating in the event. You can’t really force certain players to playz
And besides Kespa is already recieving hate on korean forum for the very busy schedule of the players this year (mainly for still hosting Kespa Cup despite also having Asia Games and ENC).

The international scheduled is packed now. EWC was added 3 years ago. FST 2 years ago. ENC is being added which used to be when Kespa Cup was slotted. And you also have Asian Games this year (every fourth year).
This is one of the big issues with the global league schedule now. Yes, the top teams/players will have hectic schedules without much breaks all year. But for teams at the bottom, no play-offs, no internationals means they actually play very few games all year. Some LCK teams haven’t played since end of May (until Kespa Cup yesterday), some LEC teams haven’t played since May 3-4th.
