Well yeah I honestly believe foreign players(kinda bugs me that we call americans foreign in our own tournament?) can step up and win this thing. Of course we are looking at the usual people to step up, idra,ret,thorzain, naniwa, huk....and others.

Look at the LoL scene, its success also come from the fact they can see much more western countries teams rather than 8 team out of 10 being korean.

Then why is DotA scene so big then? Since the Chinese are basically dominating everything (only exception Na'Vi in DotA 2). Your argument is invalid...

So we should ban koreans, that's what you propose? Pathetic.

StarCraft is everything to korean players. Koreans basically abandon their education and personal lives to play the game they like and have passion for, the competition between them is so fucking TOUGH (one day you play in the GSL final, the next season you're in Code A/B).
I don't think we'll see any foreigner in the future who will go to such lengths for a "game".
Only way to know the future is to make it.

No, its extremely successful becuase it is f2p and very easy to get into. The Koreans are already beginning to dominate western teams.


Still, foreigners are still represented by teams they can relate to.

How does MLG ever want to present their product to a larger audience if its all about Random Korean 1 who likes noodles and plays all day against Random Korean 2 who likes noodles and plays all day? (Sorry for the polemical phrases but im quite disappointed.)

I like seeing random american 1 who probably like burgers play against random american 2 who doesn't practice that much but he also probably likes burgers too

I do agree that it can be somewhat depressing to see a Top 8 filled with South Koreans. But at the same time the ultimate storyline at these events is when someone is able to take them out, when someone is able to defeat them. I am looking forward to more non-Koreans coming out of nowhere to take down big names and get a thousand new fans because of it.

Don't act like you're speaking for all foreigners. If this thread shows anything, it's that most foreigners support good players/teams over a "foreigner" tag. Maybe you prefer a team you can relate to because they're not Korean, but that doesn't mean all foreigners do.

I am more likely to watch a tournament with only the best players in the world competing, so if MLG had mostly Koreans and the very best foreigners, i'll be happy.

Ain't gonna happen the Koreans are better than foreigners except Stephano who's the only one in their level.
