The usual: Don't flame casters or players. Don't discuss balance in this or any LR thread. Don't call your fellow posters idiots. Be excited, happy and entertained.

MLG is the most competitive foreign tournament for the simple fact that it has Kespa on its side. But there were talks of Kespa to start sending players to Dreamhack so there's hope. Dont know about IEM or Nasl
I have a feeling they won't be appearing elsewhere but we'll see
in other news damn I really like watching hydra/roach/viper vs bio/tank

NASL still hasn't even said anything about there tournaments this year, so who knows.

How can your bed possibly look more awesome than this series??

Exactly. Terran is doing well, Protoss is doing OK, and Zerg is struggling.
The tournament had 9 Korean Terrans, 6 Korean Protoss, and 2 Korean Zergs.
This is not a coincidence, and the only race that is imba is Korea
Eh, don't want to go into balance talk, but it was like that for a reason. IIRC, 0 Korean Zergs qualified and LIfe/Leenock were seeded in.

What if NASL hasn't announced anything because they're cancelling their events like IPL /conspiracy bisu

MLG and IPL were the most competitive foreign tournaments even before kespa. Have you seen the lineups for euro tourneys? They're pretty much a joke because euro tourneys don't pay for korean trips so all you see at them usually are just the krs on foreign teams. Dreamhacks have especially bad tournament lineups that are 1/10 as hard as an mlg/ipl.
