Well, clearly nobody. Which is why you're right about a lot of retirements coming soon. | ||

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. exactly but currently there is no way there is enough points for korea...they are going to get way to overloaded with pashun...if more tournaments with more points happen..then maybe...but region lock will greatly decrease the skill of foreigners EU at least proving that koreans promote growth and skill...for example, vortix. welmu, snute, bunny, etc... | ||

Tournaments happen in EU and NA. 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. | ||

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. | ||
