do you guys/gals think its kinda interesting that in 2014 WCS changes and restrictions were made purposely to try to have fewer Koreans, yet theres actually more koreans in the top 8 now, than they were before these restrictions?

Yes, it's disappointing. There's not a lot "AM" about the tournament, unfortunately.

You went from 33 koreans out of 56 to a max of 19. In one season that's much better than expected.

That joke belongs to the "so bad it's good" category.

Well, in the 3 seasons of WCS AM in 2013, only 1 North American player made it to a RO8 - Scarlett. So, hard to compare.

I don't know. I would look that up, except I don't see how it matters, or what else you were expecting.

That's why Starbow is better.

Starbow is still a thing -.-?

There are tournaments with decent viewership, we have a pretty big Bo7 showmatch on Basetrade coming up. It's not going anywhere, enough people like it. It will never be a massive mainstream thing, but that was never the point.

Oh that's cool. I wasn't trying to sound condescending as I actually like those small communities. Just seemed like it disappeared.


Starbow is that bw elitist thingy, eh?


Not really. Real BW elitists look down upon SC2, Starbow, and League of Legends alike.

you mean the real elitist, that play proleague?

Polt is American and Korean

The superposition, if you will.

You open the Polt box: Murican. Close the box, open it again: Korean...

The best players are advancing.

What exactly is lame about that? The 8 Koreans that will be moving on are all significantly superior players than the foreign players that aren't.

Can't understand why people are upset about this.

If foreigners eliminated Koreans then it would be "good" for WCS NA cause it signifies there isn't total Korean domination in a North American region. If it's Koreans eliminating Koreans it means there isn't a change in the trend.

The Chinese were the last hope. The level of play in NA just seems to be levels lower, aside from a few outlier players.

It kinda kills the whole 'foreigner underdogs' storyline.
And eliminates many players that people would root for.

So I checked that just for information, and the answer was "one". Not sure that was the answer you were looking for.

i don't see the point of going over and over and over the "too many koreans" thing

unless the tournament is 100% restricted to americans only nothing will ever solve the "problem" of korean dominance, this is something we all should have known for a long time by now. koreans will still just beat the americans whether it's in the ro32 or the ro4 or whatever and people will still complain

there's no magic inbetween way to set up a tournament so lesser players beat better ones
