Despite what some people think Koreans swooping in every 2 months to carry away 80% of the prize pool won't accompish that. Blizzard is gambling that it won't happen due to sponsorship and logistics issues but if they are wrong (about NA in particular) the whole point of this system falls apart. Last year WCS. You could also argue that NA/EU players won't train harder and it won't help the scene, because now they know they can get some money without having the highest level. Koreans swooping everything does more good than harm I would say. Its not up to Blizzard to build the scene, its up to us. If no one wants to invest into the scene, no ones but our fault. I already explained that its major events that gets Korean players attention, not smaller leagues with pricemoney. If you would run a GSL-style league with not more than 20000 no Korean player would come over to play it, because the time / money that they can get is not worth it. Last years WCS as indicator lol, so you basically want a WCS global final with foreigners that get 0-3/0-3/0-3 first round and then watch Korea vs Korea? I'd rather watch Korean vs Korean all rounds OR Korean vs foreigners that actually qualified from a worthy field of players that can actually play the game and stand a chance against a Korean even in a bo5. Scarlett for example did very well in GSTL/acer teamleague, she's capable of winning and showing good games against good Koreans. If a foreigner would perform like that, thats a reason to cheer for, thats something that does grow the scene - 'banning' Koreans or not giving out seeds to them ignoring the fact that they are superior does hurt the scene. If you like it or not - increasing the NA/EU players while Koreans travelled abroad and deny them their seeds, ignoring their superiority is hurting eSports because you cannot trait them differently. Media would shit all over the people who give out seeds aka MLG/ESL. | ||

I think they can, but they'd miss this season. Also if they switch next season, they'd have to go through challenger league before they can play in premier the season after that, whereas if they choose EU/NA now and they're fairly well-known in the foreign scene, they have a good chance of getting seeded and starting in premier league. | ||
