In 2015 Koreans were still allowed at weekenders though, they're not the same. So we could use this community's wonderful voice to pressure the organizers into having more global events. Your problem is solved. Community voice is not heart at all. See TL economy model efforts during LotV beta that were completely discarded.
I dunno...basetrade did cast some games, and the model wasn't revolutionary at all...

That's also wrong. Koreans outside Korea are nothing more than people who chase the easier competition. Yes. And one peak player among one hundred weaker players will win most of the time, but the 100 other players will not be able to improve. If there would be like 25 koreans on 100 foreigners, foreigners would improve in the long run. That's simply not true. You don't need these way better players dropped into your scene to improve it. A scene has to start somewhere and if there are enough players in that scene willing to compete and motivated to get better than the whole scene will get better in the long run. Korea got to where it's at right now because some guys started it, not because some aliens dropped there training them. You will always have better and worse players in a scene and as long as the worse players are motivated to catch up the whole scene will get better.

Eh, personally at least I watched some of the WCS games in 2015. I haven't even bothered to watch most of the weekend tournaments outside of a few specific players I care about in 2016. I've even been skipping the finals lately. This DH is probably the most I've watched a WCS tournament this year. I'd say 2015 was better.

Well if we are going to use the communities voice to bully, why not bully err pressure them into just lowering the requirements and then having like 3-4 global events, some of the IEMs could be global events if you just lower the extreme and unachieveable requirements

Oh for sure. SGTK way outranks me. Dude's a LR legend. I wonder if he's actually AT this Dreamhack since he's not in this thread and I think he's from Ontario or Quebec somewhere.

There was a time where a guy was literally posting poop in LRs and I had to ban him a bunch of times and close the report threads which meant i had to scroll to the bottom of the poop posts every time so you guys don't even know.
I like Drogo to take this first map being NG
Hey, I remember those posts. So much scrolling to get through the LR.
