Look at GSL right now. They are desperate to improve the diversity of their league, because ultimately, they know that A) there is some great non-Korean talent out there and B) having only Korean players limits their audience. It's only a problem if you believe that the Top 50 SC2 Players are all Korean ... which I don't think is true. If NASL went after the best 50 players in the world, maybe half would be Korean, but the tournament would still be awesome. Yup, as a Canadian let me just say that I get super excited to see non Canadians/Americans/Russians doing well in hockey. European hockey is really taking off now with great showing last Olympics from Finland especially, and Sweden is always in contention. Slowly but surely it's opening up to everyone. More relevantly. For some time professional hockey players were not allowed to participate in the Olympics and this drove viewership down MASSIVELY. I think that's relateable to the debate here. Maybe its hard for us "foreigners" to do well when we invite the best of the best. But that produces the most exciting games and gradually I do believe that the best foreigners WILL push themselves to be on the same level as Koreans. They see that it's possible, and now some of them WILL rise to the challenge. | ||

Hey man, if the games didn't matter, you would just forgo the entire season, rank the players, and have Boxer and July automatically play the Finals. There's a reason why players should play out the games -- you never know what will happen. For example, not a single analyst or expert predicted the Dallas Mavericks would be in the NBA Finals. | ||

Yeah I hate non-mutalisk play. I feel you need to either hit them with a timing or get fast t3, or you just get walked over with drops | ||
