I preferred WCS 2012 a lot more, would be perfect imo if they leveled out the seeding more (as in, each country sends X to regional finals, each region sends X to World Finals. Not "you get 3 and you get 9 and you get 1 etc) Sure, it wouldn't be the best players. But isn't WCS meant to grow the world scene? | ||

And if we would have region locked wcs am we would get to see new American talent. There's no way to break out via wcs AM this way. We also have to understand that this is a site for dedicated star craft fans. Off course a lot of forum goers here want only to see the best sc. But that's not how you become an e-sport. I believe most casuals don't care to much about kr vs kr battles in wcs am. But seeing your local heroes duke it out vs players from all around the world 3 times a year would be great. And for the people who want to only see the best games: a region lock would make wcs korea even more stacked resulting in better games. | ||

Personally I like watching koreans play starcraft so having them play in all the leagues dosent really bother me too much. I can, however, see why having koreans beat up on everyone else might not be much fun for others to sit and watch for multiple seasons. | ||

For everyone that is trying to disguise their xenophobia through bullshit reasons, just know that Koreans leaving EU/NA WCS would mean the gap will continue to grow even larger than before. ROLF stomps all day! | ||

Play only 2 seasons and have more local/lan/regional tournaments. As much as I've loved having WCS to watch, I feel like it dominates everything but the occasional DH/IEM. | ||

Or make WCS team focused and bring back the many "smaller" or whatever you want to call them events and make one huge push for blizzcon as the blizz individual tournament or something (if needed at all). Just an idea maybe it's crap but I think a team league as constant content would be kinda cool and you could then keep having lots of iem, dreamhack, redbull, MLG, chinese things (NSL i think was one) and maybe also some korean events aside from gsl (even though just having everyone back in gsl would also be cool with stuff like the super tournament) just an idea though. | ||

The way it is currently I don't really care about WCS KR because it's missing certain players, I don't care about NA/EU because it's mostly bad players and I don't care about the global finals because of the lack of prep time and inclusion of bad players/lack of better players from WCS KR. | ||

The highest quality of games would involve sending Taeja, Jaedong, Alive etc. back to Korea to compete in GSL, not beating on AM players and lesser Koreans. Exactly. You can't have one true premier league if you already have 3 premier leagues. | ||

The prize pools would have to be changed, I don't see why the NA winner would get the same as KR winner, for example. Dat elitist attitude. Take a look at the current LCS format and the winning recipe. Personally I think WCS KR needs to die and go back to OSL/GSL and make it Tier 1. | ||

I don't understand this line of thinking? Is the assumption that the handful of official WCS matches against Koreans are making foreigners better? | ||

Sure there are people who you will watch (Huk, Demuslim, etc etc) but those are probably going to be the only games you'll watch. People complain about the number of Koreans but the quality of games will go drastically down if it's only Americans. Plus, what happens at all the season finals? Everyone from WCS NA gets trashed in the ro16. What happens at Blizzcon? All of the NA people that qualified get kicked around again. It makes perfect sense to not region lock. They get more viewers with high level Koreans spread out in the tournaments. Also, do you really think all of the players from NA should get to go to Blizzcon when their level of play is barely high enough to beat Code B level Koreans? | ||

Conflicted. That's exactly what a region lock would do, let in the Koreans who are willing to move and keep out the others. | ||
