On topic : I always thought Team Liquid would organise something for the launcher of remastered. Now we're 7 years later, and while BW is very much alive in Korea and thriving, the foreign scene has been barren besides BSL. Pretty cool though that there's 2 lans being organised in NA, and there's a big tour in peru too. The time to organise things was in 2017 with the launch, when a lot of guys came back to the game, and activity was high. Better late than never, though  | ||

I don't get AF about nationality I just want to watch the best games. If foreigners were integrated into the same scene as koreans and playing on their level that would be awesome but unfortunately that's not the case and probably never will be. edit - maybe as the kespa-era players retire and a more amateur-tier rank of players replace them (and the scene doesn't die out) in like 5-10 years, foreigners who keep up their skills will probably be a lot more on their level. But foreigners (and seemingly all amateur koreans as well) can't touch the top 20-30 players in korea that play in proleague/kleague/ASL. All of whom except for like 3 or 4 were former kespa players I think. | ||

For me the foreign scene is more of an amateur league and I have never really watched it. In general I just watch the top leagues and that's the same with every sport. Also the foreign tournaments are nowhere close to ASL in terms of production value, prize money, casters, and having the matches offline which is a must for me. Without a high budget and community demand this is going to be impossible to achieve, and the scene isn't that big unfortunately. However I did love the WCG tournaments if those count. | ||

On the other hand, I watch every single ASL game (minus TvT's), Korean pro streams, Artosis and Tasteless casts of pro's ladder games, etc. Korean SC is just so much better imo. It's like how I'm into pro sports but can't watch college. It's such a different level, I can't really get into it. | ||

Laggy matchups against players who don't interact with the scene, who have their own active full-time scene and sponsors (which mostly refuses entry to foreign players btw), and is now jumping in to grab a piece of the already tiny foreigner prize pool? Less interesting. (See the last few years of foreign BW events) Then I'd rather spend my time watching ASL or Proleague. | ||
