Unless a lot of them go abroad, playing for foreign teams and living in EU/AM ?

Travel from KR to another region is taxing on the player and their teams' wallets...
We need more Hot6cup/Kespacup like tournaments taking place in Korea.

The Passion about KR scene dieing is big!

Most definitely, but if Koreans begin to retire left and right, the e-sport scene will most likely collapse. There will always be hundreds of people to play SCII, but a high level competitive scene is very dependent on the Korean scene as things stand.

Blizzard also has LotV coming. I also think cutting in the Korean scene is going to cost them a lot more money. For the first year or two, we'll have a lot of unknown/barely known US players because there's just not enough of them on top to ever have popped up. EU should be quite fine, but the Americas are getting shafted. Big risk is, China will dominate AM and we're none the wiser after that.
And Blizzard has a reputation to keep up. They won't just drop the game.
