I imagine there are a lot of people who spectate starcraft 2 that don't play multiplayer actively or haven't bought the game at all. | ||

The problem with the foreign scene is that all the major tournaments are spread out. They need something like the GSL to center their houses around. The bulk of players in the West are never going to up and move to a center location just to practice and compete evenly with Koreans. I believe the scene is going to die before that happens. Practically speaking, people here by and large don't treat the game with the same amount of dedication and never have. Very few people think of this as a permanent career. Those that do have found ways to go to Korea, but then discovered that they're isolated there, too. | ||

Talent also plays a role and Korea has always had more competitive players and higher status for professional gamers. (not more players) If you mean he would be had he been born in the USA etc then I call absolute BS. If you mean if he moved there at start of SC2 then I can see it... | ||

No it didn't build itself but the point about space is key. There's no infrastructure outside of Korea to allow players to sacrifice money for practice. Unfortunately I don't really see it happening anytime soon. | ||

LoL has 1 stream and there are definitely a lot of people with both SC2 streams open. Wait until later, Curse vs. KT Rolster won't be lower than 150k. | ||
