If foreigners fall further behind, so be it.....the sanctity of the competition is more important than seeing foreigners do well. | ||

so this weekend full of crazy and great games, you would rather pay to watch no name players and players worst than incontrol play?? The sport won't grow if the games are crap. I'd pay to watch those koreans play rather than 2 random masters or grandmasters (NA and Europe servers) players. This was probably one of the greatest tourneys i've ever watched. This was like a whole season of GSL in 3 days. Who else wouldn't want that?? i guess some people just blindly hate. | ||

The foreign scene will have the very talented (or dedicated) few (Stephano, naniwa, sase, huk) who can compete with the best, and then a bigger contingent that can consistently make upsets (Thorzain, Kas, Titan, ret etc.) Most likely, this tendency will only get stronger. Without a doubt, this will have a negative impact on viewership and interest in tournaments. Unfortunately, the foreign teams hiring every more Korean players and diverting investment away from the foreign scene are only hurrying this development. The one positive is that it seems as if there may be springing up practice houses around europe and USA. Will it make a difference? Hard to tell. | ||

Seriously, what's the big problem? Good SC2 gameplay at events? Tragedy? And the big problem with sending N top from each important country to each event is travel costs. In US you get mostly US players, which means only a few are really top world players; same for EU. No moneiz to travel everywhere so that's that. | ||

Korean teams, on average, probably put in a lot more practice time than foreign teams do, and thus, you can see the results that come from having such a work ethic. So, in short, I think you should address not the nationality of the players, but whether players who don't perform as well are putting in the same amount of practice time and effort. | ||

It would be like banning Usain Bolt from all competition because no one else is fast enough to beat him. Train harder, or quit. | ||

I mean Canada could probably qualify 3 hockey teams if the where allowed to. I have no problems with koreans winning every tournament. The best players should win. But i don't think turning international events in to Korean nationals is a good idea. Send the Korean top players to international events and kick some ass. I love to have them at international events. But just because 90 of the 100 best players in the world are Korean doesn't mean that all international competitions should have that composition of nationalities. | ||

I think it was Illusion who said that he just played, and didn't use "lost to Koreans" as an excuse. And look how well he's done. | ||

Koreans bar amount of foriegn basketball players can play n thier leagues otherwise it would be 100% American and a few European and get no viewers. Same for Japanese baseball or Sumo which has foriegner maximums. Just sayin. Business model may dictate other things besides pure merit. | ||
