I've enjoyed WCS AM for the most part and I'm excited to see the upcoming semis and final. What I didn't enjoy is all the hate and BS spammed over and over in the live chat. "USA USA USA" was the most annoying whether spammed by Americans or trolls. I also disliked the fans(most often Europeans) spamming that Americans have no talent and they really tried to rub it in hard with the fact that no NA player will be in the season 1 finals. Why so much hate?

I hate to break it to you Europeans, but the same will be true for WCS Europe in the near future. There was more Koreans invited to WCS AM than WCS EU and 3x more notable Koreans in the AM qualifiers as opposed to the Euro qualifiers. Code A GSL players will continue to flood all of WCS as the Proleague players claim WCS KR and the rest of the talented Korean players market themselves overseas. Eventually, it will be exiled WoL code S players dominating the foreign WCS markets with 1 or 2 foreign players in the season finals. If you even expect a foreigner in the world championship then you are only dreaming.

The USA is so popular to hate these days for many reasons... most of which I don't understand. I love all the EU players, I cheer for them most of the time. I lived in Europe for a few years and I really hope that they weren't hating me behind their smiles. I really doubt they did. The best time of my life was spent in Europe and if I could go back I'd do so in a heartbeat.

The only thing I ask is that everyone tones down the hate. It seems that most of the NA scene cheers for the EU players whilst the EU scene likes to spat on the AM players. You are more than welcome to dislike the USA or The Americas, but please don't hate our players.. they are trying their hardest to compete with the best of the world and it's an uphill battle.



I think some europeans suffer from some sort of inferiority complex towards the US. Well, I guess that's not really the word I'm looking for, maybe jealousy is a more accurate term. Either way, that's why they like to rub it in that US is a little behind when it comes to SC2. It's just a bunch of kids anyway. I hope this might be somewhat comforting.


Yeah, it really sucks having universal healthcare :|

Dortmund vs Bayern every game gets boring as well.

also you want to see how your best Players compete vs the best of other continents which means 5 (6) koreans, 5 EU and 5 from NA at the finals. right now it seems like there will be 3 (gl to snute) non koreans at the GLOBAL final.

If "Code B Koreans" can take over other continents how do you think they will fare at the Season and Global finals?

I say let them battle with these guys until they get better and more competitive before we ask for a real Global Finals that won't be a farce (WCG trololol)

We had it at last year's wcs finals, It led to a final of an inferior quality and most of the foreigners were eliminated by the first Korean they met anyway.

Some of the arguments against a region lock seem so illogical to me.

"We want to watch the best players compete with the best players" - Well then why not watch any other tournament in the world then? Or better yet just watch the GSL. There is never a shortage of competitions where Koreans play Non-Koreans. Also our winners will eventually play their winners in the finals.

"Viewership" - A region lock will result in more viewers, period.

"Discriminatory/Wrong to block koreans" - A region lock isn't to block out koreans, its just locking the regions. The Olympics do the same thing without issue.

WCS could've been amazing, complete WCS seasons to determine the best players in each region, followed by a showdown of the 3 teams in Korea. The koreans would win yes but the showdown would be fun to watch.
Instead we have GSL, a B-Level korean tournament called "WSC NA" for some reason, and a finals between the A-Level koreans and the B-Level Koreans that no one will be interested in.

I don't know any other way to describe how it is set up now, its just dumb. Dumb and boring.
