+ I disagree with the fact that IEM got Europe instead of Dreamhack. Will Dreamhack tournaments not count? and this makes Dreamhack so much less important, and IEM SO much more important. I don't like when blizzard side with a tournament. | ||

now if i misunderstood all and it actually does not lock the top koreans out of MLG/IEM, its actually quite a nice step, but the WCS should've been a different tournament, other than MLG/IEM/code S so the top players can go to all - because this almost turns MLG into a NA tourney, code S into korean (which it already was) and DH/IEM to european matches. I'd have preferred something like last years WCS, but just make it invited events with some qualifiers, smaller scale (because they occur more often) and have the big tourneys running like before. | ||

I pay and attend events because i want to watch the best of the best, not to watch 'murica beat up on other muricans. Just look at last years WCS NA that ran concurrent with MLG Anaheim. no one watched WCS NA at the venue while thousands crowded the stages that had their favorite koreans playing. The KesPA mini tournament drew huge crowds because the players and the skill potential from them was exciting, NOT their nationality. Not to mention this completely screws NASL and DreamHack from participation unless they have a 'ffa points all players can attend these events for a 'max point pool' from them (similar to the ATPTennis system) but then that actually helps those events become more popular, while the region locked tourneys will see decreased numbers. I'm happy that blizz is getting involved and pumping money into it like competitors are for their respective games, and i thinkt he system will eventually get ironed out better, but right now the system just looks like it totally fucks over a lot of orgs and teams and players because the plan didn't detail enough on how it would affect those not in code S, or not in the WCS series. don't even get me started on how i'm praying Gom somehow reimburses loyal subscribers (since gsl open 1 mind you!) is getting massively ripped off now that higher stream quality with less lag is now available FOR FREE on twitch, and what was supposed to be 5 seasons is now probably 3-4. ugh. | ||

Like, I'm all for seeing great players, but I think it would also be interesting to see the separate regions going at it later and not all getting dominated by Koreans. No I don't have a problem with it because if the players want to 'win their own moneys' they should have to put in the time and effort to earn it. It's not like koreans are genetically predisposed to just be better, they work harder, practice smarter, and have sacrificed more to get the team environments they need to excel. If i wanted to watch random players beat up on each other that while high skilled won't ever take a game from a korean, I can just watch Diamond league tournaments or local LAN tournaments. And no separate regions going at it later, 'not all getting domianted by Koreans' is exactly what will happen at the season finals every season. It'll be a huge farce. CHEER FOR EUROs with no real korean competition! CHEER FOR NA! with no real korean competition, MEET at the Season 1 Finals! top 5 koreans. rinse repeat for 3 seasons. rinse repeat for WCS. So instead of allowing the potential for having the top 16 or so players of the WORLD competing at the finals each season and at blizzcon eventually, we'll have the top 5 koreans, and then 11 others who are just there to try their best. A for effort, here's a trophy for trying so hard. | ||

if koreans start going oversee and finally take over every WCS, the whole purpose of world championship kinda gets defeated | ||
