in the way that koreans lost their will to practice?

Well, if the goal was having foreigners win more against Koreans, does it really matter if foreigners got better or Koreans got worse? The result is still the same. So I guess it did work if that was the goal.

Probably both IMO.

yea who cares about game quality, so long as the white guy wins sometimes

when I say this I don't mean that WCS in itself is horrible, but your statement Kerence is everything i hate

for goodness once since 6 years some white guys are winning on a more regular basis and people are losing their mind

when white guys winning was forced by blizzard it's really sad

it wasn't forced by Blizzard. It's the kespa forced switch that fucked both scenes :x. Which is Blizz fault a bit as well, but region lock didn't change much.

the kespa forced switch is the original sin and korean scene had no chance surviving it.

I like that Nerchio is being aggressive in game 3. Went much better for him when he was able to put the pressure on Solar

I think it's more generally for several months, not for this specific tournament. Of course that's going to make a difference.

or maybe people are upset about multiple of the biggest and longest running korean teams and proleague closing down

you have to be kind of dimwitted to think that Proleague closing down has anything to do with WCS

region lock diminishes motivation, lower motivation means lower skill, less exciting games, worse viewership
and korean players can get fans while playing in foreign tournaments,koreans are allowed to watch too, or even if they don't the player can get hyped up cause they just recently won a dreamhack with koreans

There was this game last year in Proleague where Solar took a gold on that one map (was it Expedition Lost?) aggressively against soO. And soO just outmacroed him wiithout a gold.
