If there was a region lock, it would be unfair for the Koreans as their league would be much more competetive and not comparable to the other 2 regions, in which players would need much less skill to earn the same amout of money and fame. | ||

Then there Wouldn't really be restrictions on citizen ships since it'd be just like a tournament. | ||

The best alternative I've heard so far was from State of the game where someone suggested ladder would be used as qualification for challenger league (with some checks to shoutcraft america obviously). That way players become invested in the region and provide valuable practice partners and raise the overall skill level of the r Region. Furthermore it doesn´'t hurt or even punish players outside a region that may be grouped in somewhat arbitrary. As it is now it feel like koreans win the tournament but isn't invested in the region only making the rest of the players get even further behind unless they commit to korea. In the long term i hope it will lead to the na scene being to support itself more in the long run having players that can compete. If instead we had a complete regionlock i feel one concern would be viewer number. Having a few of those koreans in there makes for good games and everyone wants to watch high quality games while still cheering for the local hero. And while I assumed it would enable more foreign pros to make a living i think it would be a temporary effects as the two other regions would fall further behind and the best scene imo is one where they're somewhat comparable. i.e. the people from other regions won't just get completely crushed in the season finaly. | ||

I think having more opportunites for Korean players to show their stuff is pretty important too. Whether that's opening up another Korean WCS league (GSL/OSL running concurrently?) or just making the player pool for WCS Korea much larger (even having twice as large would leave a lot of Koreans looking in from the outside). It would allow the fringe Code S players to get a little more exposure and money to live off of. | ||

On the other hand WCS NA doesn't really feel NA so I voted not sure, maybe it's best if they could change the system and not just region locking. | ||

Also that will make season finals so much worse. Now there's a chance for awesome games starting from the group stage. If more foreigners will be there... Well, see season 1 and 2 finals. Your average foreigners were stomped 0:5(1:10), and only 2 more or less good foreigners advanced. | ||
