Great analogy.


Nothing like it.

I'm generally getting really pissed that people actually defend this farce. The world cup in football don't only got German,Spanish,Brazilian and Argentinian teams do they? We actually got countries in Africa representing Africa

And that's why football is the biggest sport in the world

Seriously the The old BW team liquid legacy is like a cancer to the growth of starcraft 2 as a global esport. Even though you are such a low minority but very loud
Stephano & Jaedong <-- The Pain Train. Polt and Innovation to EG plz

It is called Europe, because it is played in Europe.


Uh, no, it isn't.


It isn't played in Europe?

Please continue, you are most entertaining to read together with that Benjamin guy

Yeah, i could have sworn Cologne was in Europe. Must be something with my eyes.


Woosh. My statement was made concerning the title of WCS EU. It is called the European championship because it's supposed to be the champion of European players. No one cares where the people are when they play- look at WCS AM, the first rounds were played online with people literally playing from Korea.

Actually its not called "European Championship". And the first round was only played online because Blizzard rushed the start.

You make statements like they are facts yet considering the rules Blizzard disagrees with you.


The entire region declaration system was a complete mess, or have you forgotten?

i think the purpose of WCS is to gather the best players from every region to give everyone a chance for participating.
If the best player from Europe is of Korean nationality, then so be it, theres is nothing wrong with that

this is not about trade of goods. its about the qualification of a person to participate in an event. people suggesting that certain people should not be allowed to participate due to them being born in a certain country are basically being racists.


Holy shit, I'm amazed that you managed to post that without drowning in your cereal. This post shows a shocking level of ignorance.

It's a *regional* tournament. Only people that *live in the fucking region* should be able to participate. Or should Lebron James be allowed to play in the European basketball championships?


I'm sure he can play if he got registered in time.

When Stephano won NASL (NORTH AMERICAN star league) nobody said anything. Don't lie to yourself, it's about korean and foreigner. The country/region debate is just an excuse.

Okay so lets just make a tounry in Korea, only invite foreigners and call the winner "Champion of Korea".

They were watching because a European was playing in the finals...


Flash vs Life at MLG beat this in viewers. Why were they watching? Also Dimaga vs Stephano would not have gotten 120k.


How is that even remotely analogous? MLG wasn't a regional tourney- and that tournament was Flash vs. Life, the best BW pro vs the best SC2 pro, an epic clash of the titans. Sick games too.

I'm not hating on MVP, but a regional tournament needs to be region locked.


Well you know what's going to happen with region locks right... every region outside of korea will immediately become irrelevant, because you may get 5 europeans representing europe but they are going to get butchered in the world finals. Allowing people to play wherever makes the thing competitive.

Not really though. If the money that goes into esports in the west is all sucked up to the east, there is a lot less incentitive to actually get infrastructure up in the west to develop talent. I personally don't think they should region lock it by nationality, but rather by what scene you contribute most to. Fx. Polt contributes pretty much exclusively to AM now, so I feel it makes sense he's locked to AM. Same with ForGG for EU, he's only playing in EU right?

That means for the AM and EU money, these players need to actually be contributing to those regions and with that raising the skill level of those regions.

And if you do hardcore region locking nobody will care when you win a european/american tournament since they know there are a 100 koreans you won't even touch. This is exactly what happened with BW.

Then don't fucking call it WCS EUROPE...
I would even go so far and call it false marketing by Blizzard ...

Why. The name says the tournament is part of Blizzards WCS and played out in Europe. And the tournament is exactly what it says on the tin.

It is the tournament to crown the european champion, which guess what, is not european. Read my post about my CL analogy if you can't follow me.


24 out of 32 in EU were invites, only 3 of them were Korean. 2 Koreans got top 4. It's not their fault that EU players aren't very good. GSL gave countless seeds to foreigners over the years.

Countless? I would bet I would find a pretty exact number on TLPD, if you want to smartass Mister.
So get back on the ground and re-read what I put out there. You were missing 100% my point.

He would be allowed to play in the EU leagues, like all the Americans who already do. Maybe you should look at this like the leagues and not the EU championship then.

Of course, just like nobody is complaining about Snute now, and no one complained when Naniwa won MLG before Koreans started coming to US tournaments.
