Pretty sure NFL players can't play their games online from another country. This poll isn't just about disallowing other nationalities from playing in other regions, it is also suggesting residency requirement. Which is the same in all sports. | ||

also it defines who is actually the best in the country and if the koreans do want to move, that will increse the level of skill cap in the country, as they will play on the ladder, since region switching has lag i.e. playing korea server from us the best matches in sc2 are foreigner vs korean both different races with players like jaedong and taeja, korean will probably still win in US and EU but there will be more hope | ||

Guys like MC living in germany, or ForGG livin in France should be able to participate in WCS EU. Guys like MVP though who just arrive the day before the live shows should no longer participate or they should actually live in the EU. I don't like the attitude to play in WCS EU because it's EZ like they say. amen to that | ||

But I think I would watch less matches then, because the regions will be less strong of players. But better to have fair regions with no lag. | ||

You don't even have to make everything offline - even if you'd just do that to the qualifiers it would be enough  | ||

There are very few foreigners worth following for anything other than their personality, which doesn't get exposed in these tournaments anyway. All the free time I'll have from not having to keep up with western leagues will be amazing! | ||

You see Quantic bringing Koreans over to NA and raising the skill level of NA solo queue, which is exactly what would happen with SC2. (and it would be a good thing) | ||

However, I can't say that would be a good move overall. As more Koreans definitely mean better games. | ||
