You could possibly make that argument about the American playerpool because it does seem to lack a lot of depth. However, I think that it hurts it from growing if there's less of an opportunity to do something. I could be wrong, too. There could be more depth but we just never see it because the American scene doesnt have as my weekly tournaments and stuff going on as EU. I think EU has quite a bit of depth though that could make it interesting. I could see how it could be boring if it was a low depth region and it was just the same players qualifying each time. idk. Maybe things will change if it doesn't work out. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
also a realistic possibility. Imagine if more koreans had qualified and done better and just knocked out like 10 popular foreigners in the first season. Could be bad for viewing numbers

Even with how few people actually get knocked out I'd imagine its only a season or 2 before AM because Korea 2.0 (or 0.5 I guess). Figure that a player like JD isn't going to get knocked around twice and neither will sage. I say by the end of the year we could have a completely Korean dominated WCS:AM. Europe will probably never get that "bad" (I'm not going to say whether or not that's negative its just not the point of AM therefore bad) as the player pool is deep and talented.
