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 also in football there is a league system where nobody cares if ronaldo is born in portugal if he plays in madrid or robben is dutch when he plays in muenchen. | ||

Maybe you should look at this like the leagues and not the EU championship then. We have plenty of non-locked leagues. They're great to watch- I'm not hating on watching top Koreans play, I very much enjoy (coincidentally) watching MVP play. But this tourney should have been region locked. | ||

The country/region debate is just an excuse. That's just a name though. If NASL was ran by Blizzard and there was EUSL and KRSL being ran at the same time, it would've raised some eyebrows. WCS also has the baggage of being strictly region-locked last year, so people are more likely to assume the same here. | ||

If you want to watch something like EU championship - WCG Samsung European Encounter is the way to go.  2012 StarCraft II World Championship Series/Europe/Nationals/Combined EuropeBut I agree it blows that Mvp crashed the party. | ||

It doesn't have anything to do with who lives where or who is a citizen of what country, the only thing that matters is that the players are in Europe for the live rounds. You might want it to be otherwise, but that's not the case. So Spain is the Austrian, Swiss, South African, Polish and Ukrainian Football champion because they played all the matches of their Euro / World Cup victories there? The fact that all the games are played in Europe doesn't imply that it makes any sense to declare the winner European champion. WCS Europe champion, sure, but saying that someone is champion of a certain region implies that the participants are from (or has significant ties) to said region. Spending two weeks in Europe hardly makes you European. (I don't really have any issues with Koreans taking part in WCS EU or AM - except that I am really sad to see so many players give up GSL / OSL - but saying that the winners of WCS EU or AM are the European or American champion strikes me as somewhat ridiculous) | ||

I gues you did not visit the threads when the players for the NASL were announced, let alone for the finals. In NAs case its so sad though that it kinda became funny. Ideas like Shoutcraft NA go in the right direction and they are a success, would get even better with the "blizzard power" behind it. | ||

Fair point, but if people want to argue for or against something they might want to drop silly assumptions and stick to (what looks like) facts, or threads just end up like most LR threads | ||
