How will foreign teams be able to continue financially when they no longer even have a shot at qualifying for group play (as we saw with the IPL open bracket), and will never make it to a finals? The idea that foreigners will just 'train harder' is unlikely. Only a few have even been able to come close to competing with the top Koreans now. If 10-12 years of BW is any sign, foreigners will be unlikely to compete at SC2 with them. The problem for tournaments is that there is less fan connection to Korean players. There certainly is some, but enough to support 200,000 viewers over many years? I'm not sure. | ||

i'm against it, i'm not sure why any of foreign players would agree to it either. if the tournament is about being best of the best, why does race matter? world championship is a different matter (fair diversity like worldcup/olympics). not only that, mlg/ipl has had far greater % of foreign players attending...its just that koreans end up on top. people were rooting for stephano like no other. foreigners need to improve their skill so we get more treats like this, organizers shouldn't have to manipulate regulations to achieve this it sounds like you're sayingn lets cater to the foreigners so they have a chance if there are fewer koreans. this is retarded. i may be biased though...i'm personally enjoying this korean domination ^_^ | ||

Hopefully if this element of BW is repeating itself, all the other elements in BW that are missing from SC2 can also return. | ||

 .If you people watch SC2 to see some guy from your country win you should just leave now, Koreans will always dominate the scene. Your favourite player just doesnt try as hard. | ||

The problem was IPL paying trips for so many Koreans and European teams would have to send their players there on their own, which they didn't do, because there were 3 offline events going on at the same time in Europe. David Ting already admitted his fault and said for IPL 5 there will be regional qualifiers so the regions in championship bracket will be more balanced. The raw performance of the players is something that David Ting cannot control. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/IGN_ProLeague_Season_4 Do a Ctrl-F and search for 17th-20th Open that and you see some of the varied winners who took home $1000 each. Then do a Search for "Notable open bracket sign-ups" In that extensive list there - I absolutely concede there there's just a ton of Koreans in that list, yes. But you can still see an extremely varied lineup of just tons of different players from all over the world. To the IPL's credit, I'm seeing even names in that list that I've never heard of before. They are definitely giving people a chance. Fan favorites like QXC, Sheth, Dimaga, Jinro(!)...all those great names are all there. If I understand correctly, these people unfortunately didn't make it through the Open Brackets but...again without some creative shuffling of the matches to absolutely guarantee more foreigner faces vs Korean ones...tough to say. For example, pitting the Koreans vs each other to eliminate the count down, whilst trying to "preserve" the foreigners may or may not be viewed as the utmost fairest way to run the tourney, but these are just my opinions. | ||

As long as there are qualifiers and open brackets the system will be fine and the players deserving of group play will get there. I also think that Starcraft can only be really enjoyed when you understand the basics of the game and from that point on I think good play or personality of a player (Koreans aren't robots either) can be a good reason to cheer for a player. Nationality is not so much an issue, especially since this is the internet which is rather international anyways. | ||
