Can you seriously, with clear conscience, say that Scan is not part of the foreign BW scene? | ||

The point of the tournament is to have people who are part of the foreign BW scene playing in it. Can you seriously, with clear conscience, say that Scan is not part of the foreign BW scene? zimp's comment sums it up pretty well in regards to rules On July 21 2015 12:33 zimp wrote: I have just seen this topic now. It's great that there are going to be new tournaments. I must comment on the Scan issue though. The rules say: = "read non-Korean/Chinese" So we must investigate. Is Scan korean? ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Dkjo28W.png) He has korean flag in TLPD. He has a korean name. He was raised in korea. He speaks korean (better than anything else). He knows the korean culture. He has korean genes as far as i know. He knows the korean bw culture. He is in korean clans. He understands korean commentators. He can chat with his korean friends about new builds. Therefore i can conclude, he IS korean. Now there is an additional rule to the rule above: Let me quote Scan here. So he is a korean who is currently living in Korea, therefore, according to your own rules, he should not be allowed to participate. Whenever he moves back to the U.S., his case should be reconsidered based on his participation in the foreign BW scene. However this rule doesn't mention how to decide based on his participation. So all i can do is summarize his participation (or at least what i found on tlnet). Major tournaments 2008 Razer TSL - Scan played but he was banned due to cheating. 2011 AoV iCCup StarLeague - Scan won it. 2011 Reality-Defined.com Winners Tournament - Scan won it. 2013 ICCup Ladder Main Event 1 - Scan won it Defiler tournaments 2011-2012: at least 9x won, 5x second 2014-2015: Scan won all the 5 defiler tourneys that were held recently. Other -Scan won the iccup ladder several times -Scan occasionally posts on TLnet -Scan released some of his replays recently I just wrote down some facts in relation to the 'he is a part of foreign bw scene' please define this as lenghty and as carefully as possible please | ||

In order to start bo3/5 without a loss with default score at elimination bracket Scan needs to win extra 1 game first then he needs to proceed to his bo3/5 series. If he fails to win 1st game the opponent will take 1-0 lead. We can call it HANDICAP ROUND. I photoshopped my way: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/ZodzCz8.jpg) I mean if ro8/semifinals are all bo3 - and if Scan loses a game at HR then his opponent needs to win just a game to eliminate him. | ||

Stratos already refuted it: On July 21 2015 13:46 Stratos wrote: Your lawyering doesn't quite work here, zimp. Besides what was already mentioned, Scan streams on twitch, interacts with viewers in English, brings us behind the scene info and helps us translate stuff. The way I see it, this TLS is built around the idea that it's for the foreign scene and its communities. Korean or Mongolian, Scan is a part of this community, and he's even a contributing member. If Bisu wants to become a part of TL or reps.ru pr psistorm or whatever, then he'd be allowed too. So this is how the league was conceived by the ppl who organize it. You can discuss whether that concept is good or bad forever but lawyering and providing claims about Scan's nationality is a waste of everyone's time. The question you want to be asking in that regard is: Is Scan a TLer? But we all know the answer to that. And he's a great TLer at that. Also, if we actually let the few interested Koreans become a full part of our community, we can gain and learn a lot from them. Basically, the benefits of living in Korean BW environment would be that much closer to us. So it's not like this is a one-way service at all. Scan is a perfect example of that.

If Bisu played in foreign BW events for years, participated in the community, made guides for us and translated things for us, we would allow him to play as well. It just doesn't make sense to do otherwise. To clarify this quoted post, I'll say the strongest argument you can have against Scan's participation is if his being in Korea at the moment, has unfair advantage of participating in the offline Korean events which foreigners are not privy to. If he starts to participate in those, as I said before, we'll revise our rule. Also, it's pretty ridiculous that all of your arguments fall apart as soon as Scan comes back to US next month or whenever. | ||

Thank you. If you demand foreigners to take up the challenge and work their ways, consider this challenge for you guys to organize: if you allow a korean, go over fish (preferably with Scan), find chogosu/pro koreans and invite those that have good kor-eu/americas connection and let them play too. You could go and try to negotiate movie, firebathero, sea, nada and some not as known korean chogosus with good connection by telling them the purpose is to support and hopefully revive the foreigner bw scene for a good amount of time. Why give 1 time opportunities to play korean chogosus to winners of 3-4 month long tournaments when you can involve many more and make them pretty available to play to anyone that decides to play in the World BW Brain Cups? I would more than frickin' happilly accept to play not as known korean chogosus with good connection and I will happily accept lag on extra high latency a la bw-in-2003 vs pros/legends. If you accept this challenge I could try to negotiate ChRh to come and join the cups for example. | ||

To not speak for everyone, but we are certainly busy enough right now and do not have the resources to pull of something that big. I understand what you are asking, but we are working with what's realistic and ultimately what we want. | ||

2pac- my arguments do not fall apart when an actual korean goes anywhere after he has lived significant amount of time in Korea and is currently living there. All other things equal if I go to Korea now i will suddenly become an edge case and will be reconsidered separately? This is laughable. | ||

So you say 10 organizers are not having the resources to go over in fish freqently and chat with koreans for like a month to spread the word? Yet you want from 20-30+players to work their ass off for a year to beat scan maybe about 60% of the time? | ||

To be honest, I don't even know what's your argument (I was addressing those who were arguing that he shouldn't be allowed to play because he's in Korea, or those who wanted us to stick with the old TSL1/2 and TLS1/2/3 rules). Why is that laughable though? We wrote the main rule first (no people from Korea/China), but then had to clarify them so we can allow some of our members who live in Korea, like CaucasianAsian, Scan etc or Koreans who live in US, like yellowsmile (I think) etc. On July 23 2015 08:17 LRM)TechnicS wrote: Really?

I'm planning a wedding, have to travel from Florida to Seattle for work trips, travel to see my dad 2 hrs always barely surviving pancreatic cancer, travel 6 hrs to North Carolina to see my mother who is only back for China for one month before leaving another year. I do work full time+ among all this. Yeah life is pretty god damn busy for me. Sorry neither I or any one on staff shoves their life problems on the rest of you to show how busy we are. I don't give a damn if you know how little time I truly have to squeeze in Brood War while keeping it together. Nope. I smile and whistle because amongst all this I'm a truly happy person and feel blessed for the moments I have here. Even these ones where we have the luxury of arguing over the greatest foreign news in two years. | ||

Since they don't know if they are allowed to play.I understand the foreigners in this thread etc, but scan is different from other koreans. Hes been in the foreign scene playing with foreigners a lot for so many years now. | ||

If they were banned at the same time, then their penalties are written in this thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/news-archive/108352-tsl-tl-punishes-cheaters 12 months have long passed since then ^^. So yes, they would be allowed to participate. | ||
