You want region balance? Thats just absurd. I want the best games possible. NA players need to step it up and EARN their spots. | ||

Pro gaming is accepted more in Korea and Europe and is developed better. NA is just behind. I think NA's top players are just as good as EU's top players, but their are just fewer of them. | ||

THIS. How many foreigners are in the GSL now? Huk, Sheth, Jinro.....? Seriously, who cares what the name is? Fact is, we get to see great players and awesome starcraft games broadcast at prime time in NA. | ||

They invited a lot of foreign and North American players for the first season, however all the open qualifier were dominated by Koreans and only one Korean fell out of the original invited players. I'm completely opposed to the NASL limiting the number of players that are able to earn their way into the league so there's really nothing to be done apart from North Americans stepping up and competing.

Not sure if he has the chops, but that MLG run of his wasn't half bad. He tried, but failed to qualify. | ||

He is the Korean that I most want to see in foreigner tournaments but he doesn't seem to be in any, I hope that changes quick, I love DRG. Nobody from mvp played sadly.

NASL said from the beginning they want to have the best players. Sad that Naniwa left. But besides that, the lineup looks incredible. The real "Global" star league. | ||

As far as I can tell no one is replacing Naniwa, that way they can cut down to 45 players as opposed to 46 if he was replaced. | ||
