a Blizzcon without Flash, Rain and Soulkey will not be a good Blizzcon ;(

Sure it will. Flash hasn't had the best 2014, Rain's playing kinda off, and Soulkey's basically retired.

I feel like the quality of the games with them instead of some of the other players would just drop dramatically.

i wanted sOs and DRG D:

$O$ would've been cool to see and same with DRG, but it didn't happen. I mean... when you're only letting the top 16 players of a year play in Blizzcon, you're gonna lose out on some fantastic players.

its about to get fucking worse with region lock...in my opinion this will kill korean starcraft....

Common misconception. I thought he was German for the longest time as well.

i see...does this make him more of a robot or less of robot then?

He wants to become Canadian, so less of a robot if I had to guess.

...will he have to learn french to do so? or does he plan on going to Ontario?

I think that you can get by without French in Ontario and out West.

Isn't French only in Quebec?

French is also used out on the East Coast quite a bit as well, but it's a do-or-die thing out there. Montreal is a really English town, so you can technically settle there (but the city layout is a NIGHTMARE and a half).

you should see our cities...
People can live in a city for 20 years and still get lost. And they are not even big. just stupidly made.

Almost all historial cities are dumb.

I find them fascinating at times
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

Hopefully WCS KR awards more points than other regions. Realistically you have to take into account the unique strength of korean national scene and to award even people who just qualify for code S ro32 large amounts of points.

without a doubt..i think some invite seeds should be given as well/proleague points.,... maybe even another league for korea...

That.

It's more hilarious Jaedong qualified for Blizzcon by sheer EG Moneyz, he did nothing notable this year. Players like Maru, being on the top for the entire year, get shafted.

Region Lock is just another artificial solution to get more foreigners to the field, whilst WCS EU is actually proving foreigners are slowly catching up.

Result; A TON of Korean players will be forced to retire, as 3 seasons a year in which only 32 players get payed by earnings in individual leagues. Popularity drops off, Proleague seizes to exist, ggnore.

ORRRRRRRRRRR

We just enjoy Blizzcon because there's a ton of good names. Sure something will fill the gap Korean players will experience !

the season finals kinda took care of giving wcs kr more points last year, while technically being a fair treatment of the regions

Honestly killing Korean Starcraft would pretty much kill Starcraft itself. I hope they find a solution to avoid the depletion of the Korean scene...

Korea needs another tournament. There should be GSL and WCS there so it functions kinda like OSL and MSL back in the day. Add in a KESPA cup once a year and wcs points should be good in korea. With PL and smaller cups koreans will have plenty to play in then.

I wonder... if a lot of the top Koreans go back home, maybe they could start Proleague teams and make PL bigger. Just a thought, although I'm sure that it's not the first time someone suggested it.

I feel like the quality of the games with them instead of some of the other players would just drop dramatically.

i wanted sOs and DRG D:

$O$ would've been cool to see and same with DRG, but it didn't happen. I mean... when you're only letting the top 16 players of a year play in Blizzcon, you're gonna lose out on some fantastic players.

its about to get fucking worse with region lock...in my opinion this will kill korean starcraft....


Hopefully WCS KR awards more points than other regions. Realistically you have to take into account the unique strength of korean national scene and to award even people who just qualify for code S ro32 large amounts of points.

the season finals kinda took care of giving wcs kr more points last year, while technically being a fair treatment of the regions
doesn't really help for people that don't make it far in the gsl though


I actually loved those season finals. The problem with them was that they put too much emphasis on WCS performances (you perform well in WCS -> you get a free shot at gaining even more points in finals) but they were pretty awesome tournaments to watch ! I especially remember Bomber's win in season 2 and Dear qualifying against the odds for Blizzcon. I was really surprised to see they weren't using this format this year !

Sure it will. Flash hasn't had the best 2014, Rain's playing kinda off, and Soulkey's basically retired.

the season finals were some of the best tournaments of the year...wtf were they removed this year???

Apparantly, they took the hype and epicness off region winners (NA/EU/KR) by putting them into the arena with some other players again, of whom the winners were usually other players.
The regional champion should not be dethroned so fast, I suppose.

And quite expensive I suppose.

I loved the Season finals as well....

That.

It's more hilarious Jaedong qualified for Blizzcon by sheer EG Moneyz, he did nothing notable this year. Players like Maru, being on the top for the entire year, get shafted.

Region Lock is just another artificial solution to get more foreigners to the field, whilst WCS EU is actually proving foreigners are slowly catching up.

Result; A TON of Korean players will be forced to retire, as 3 seasons a year in which only 32 players get payed by earnings in individual leagues. Popularity drops off, Proleague seizes to exist, ggnore.

ORRRRRRRRRRR

We just enjoy Blizzcon because there's a ton of good names. Sure something will fill the gap Korean players will experience !


I wonder... if a lot of the top Koreans go back home, maybe they could start Proleague teams and make PL bigger. Just a thought, although I'm sure that it's not the first time someone suggested it.

Money, man, who's gonna pay for that?
