You make a good point, but how would you propose to improve the situation? Passport requirements to join WCS in a certain region? | ||

Everyone was writing him off as a non factor around the ro32. Mvp always seems to win when we count him out, its almost as if he feeds on our doubt and gains strength from it. I had some doubts as well because of his condition, but if he is now training as much as before, it is definitely showing. | ||

At least one of them in the final would be quite great for the event. More importantly, I'm surprised noone is talking about MLG because so far ESL buried them, they need to step up their game next week (the reddit backlash would just be ridiculous if they failed in some ways). | ||

But the purpose of WCS NA and EU should be to find the best of EU and NA and crown the best players from those regions, and if you aren't living in EU or NA for at least 1 year, then you aren't fucking European or American. I also have nothing against regional tournaments, but GSL/GSTL/Proleague is in korea, are you saying every player must move to korea to participate in high level regular competitions? And why exactly should the purpose of WCS NA/EU be to crown the best citizen of that region - we already have WCG for that + Shoutcraft America and perhaps some other tournaments i am not aware ( or havent been announced yet) | ||

Or am I just fucking wasting my time here? The games were amazing, I'd recommend the entire finals and Mvp vs Dimaga game 2. | ||

In fact, instead of posting you can write to the CEO of Blizzard in a formal letter explaining your ideas. But you won't, it's easier to just whine. | ||

It's not a good tourney anyway. | ||

Blizzard is doing it for a reason, and your opinion will not change theirs. In fact, instead of posting you can write to the CEO of Blizzard in a formal letter explaining your ideas. But you won't, it's easier to just whine. That's actually a fantastic idea, I'll take the time to do it tomorrow after I wake up. | ||

This year the idea seems to be to bring regular high level competition to every region. The great thing was how the qualifiers and the only period of protoss dominance ever coincided, putting all those Korean protoss dragons together in those brackets to dominate foreigners. Good times. Best protoss bracket ever probably was Squirtle, Seed, Parting, Creator, Rain, hero and Hero all in the top ten at WCS Asia. | ||

Would be epic if they actually got a live audience, good casters and proved us doubters wrong. I kinda feel they are gonna ride this out and focus on improving stuff for the next season. However if they stick to their guns and refuse to make any major changes, they're gonna keep getting 1/3 of EU viewership. | ||
