(by the way if anyone has any other minority groups desperately in need of some affirmative action just PM me and I will pass the message on to Sundance.) Where is the age diversity? According to the age distribution, we need 10%, >80 20%, 60-80 20%, 40-60 30%, 25-40, 20%, 10-25 10%, 0-10 Many grandma & grandpa will sue Sundance if MLG do not limit the number of Koreans! | ||

I think Russian caps the number of foreign players but this is a country where fans throw banana's at black players so what do you expect from those clowns? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_football_players_in_Germany http://www.espnstar.com/football/premier-league/news/detail/item462279/Neville-rubbishes-new-EPL-quota-rules/ | ||

Just because I'm more interested in watching foreigners play at foreign tournaments. I'd rather have some diversity amongst the major SC2 tournies. | ||

I want to see a member of my neighborhood play. I want to see a member of my town play. I want to see a member of my country play. I want to see a member of my continent play. I want to see a member of my planet play. I want to see a member of my Arm play. I want to see a member of my Galaxy play. I want to see a member of my Universe play. In that order. That is not racism or anything, it's how human beings have evolved, wanting to defend their close ones before anything else (other tribe or smth). | ||

What you're proposing is not that offensive, but the way you're wording yourself makes it somewhat offensive, like the noodle remarks. What the hell? I like watching GOOD games, and for that I need the top level of play. If foreigners want to be on par with Koreans, practice harder, move to Korea and practice more. Sure, easier said than done, we don't have the practice rregimes they have in Korea as there really isn't THAT much money invested in SC2 as an e-sport in any other country than Korea, but there's no other way to go about it. If tournaments want me as a viewer, they'll have to allow anyone to join, and base it off skill rather than nationality. | ||

Isnt there a Blizzard World cup coming up? Once in a while its awesome but every MLG i doubt i will love it that much if they would do it like this. And it would be unfair to US citicens to have a limited amount of players if the tourney is in theire own country. | ||

It's a bit like saying MLG/Dreamhack must have at least 20 American/Swedish players in the open bracket. It's a restriction in theory, but it doesn't actually do anything. No German, English, Spanish team wants to sign a Brazilian but is cock blocked by the rules. | ||

Isn't it very possible that they have some kind of racial affinity (quick handspeed, multi-tasking thinking etc,.) such as African Americans have for a quick twitch muscle sport like basketball or East Africans for marathon running? | ||

but since MLG constitutes a significant portion of their winnings, and given that other tournaments might follow suit, it can't be every other event. | ||
