I put extremely disinterested. If foreigners were competing at the highest levels, I would be interested. TSL and TSL2 were interesting because there were narratives created about the tournaments/players/casters/etc.

Even with the Korean scene, it’s more fun to watch games when you have a favorite team or player. Proleague was fun to watch for rivalries like KT/SKT, or to root for underdogs like Air Force Ace, etc. Without a narrative it’s hard to care about random one-off games unless they are exceptional…

I haven’t discovered a compelling narrative in the foreign scene other than TSL/TSL2 and Idra/Nony in Korea trying to pass courage. If I found one maybe I would change my vote.

Good non KR events with good casts besides BSL are not happeing too often.

BWCL is great for some team games and stuff.

CPL is fun to still have newcomers or people with lower skills involved but casts are mostly not the most interesting as the game and cast quality is at a lower level, still good to have though.

Are you planning something? As all people said, gogo TSL, they were a blast.
Also sometimes good 2v2 competitions would be nice.

Interested in all StraCraft events, as long as they are well done. Non KR can be as good as others, but mostly organization or casts are not on the same level.

Damn, I missed the poll but I'd definitely be interested, more BW is always good!

I am somewhat interested. I think rawdogging the games is a bit hard for me - I tend to do that purely with the highest level of Korean BW. But if there were cool storylines that emerged and a bit of production I'd be fully on the saddle.

could host a 3v3 bgh all random tournament, from looking over the topics in general this looks like most active

for 1v1 people will just go and watch kor games instead

I remember watching azhi's channel and this came across my feed. It was some kind of 2v2 BGH, Fastest, and Polypoid league

Imo foreign bw should focus 100% on fun casual LANs and the like. Think the twitch holiday bash. All the other more serious stuff.. the Koreans are already doing it and has much higher level play. I know that sounds like a terrible reason to not do it at all, but just don't be surprised when there's underwhelming level of interest
