What a comment. Koreans are actually BARRED from Circuit events. Nobody is barred from GSL.


You realize that even if Koreans could play in WCS, it wouldn't save the scene? The only people who would benefit from it (enough to warrant the plane tickets) are the people who consistently and reliably beat foreigners. Those people (stats, maru, dark, classic, etc...) are not the people suffering in Korea.

The people suffering in Korea (alive, Losira, ragnarok), couldn't even make it far in WCS even if they could.


We can discuss that but that doesn't really have anything to do with Feardragon's foolish comment.

Saving the scene would take years I think. But of course it would help it if there were WCS Challenger in Korea that could send players there to play. Nevertheless, if WCS actually continues and region lock is lifted I'm sure a new type of system would be better.


The only way to save the scene is to have investment. And there is no investment for korean sc2.

Doesn't matter if WCS became unregion locked, because the only koreans who would benefit from that are the ones not suffering in Korea atm (stats, maru, Classic, etc...).

The only thing region-locking would accomplish is hurting viewership in WCS




Regarding Korea, I just don't think it's true. You underestimate the secondary effects of Koreans going to WCS events. If they go there, they can prioritize GSL less, which leaves more room for other players. Or, every once in a while someone like Impact or Ragnarok has a good streak and goes to WCS which would obviously help that player. This IS the same as investment from the Korean perspective. If there are more tournaments, it's good for the scene. Just like Circuit is not only good for Neeb and Serral but for ALL players in non-Korea.

That said, I don't know that it would save the scene. And the problems in Korea are about many other things than region lock, of course.

He went full korean


It's hard for foreigner living in Korea to keep up with the top, their higher base skills are enough to keep them dominant, but the lack of decent practice on the ladder is the downside of easy money.

dropping the region lock would make sense if Blizzard is retracting money from the game as well btw; one scene is cheaper to support than 2 seperate ones
I Protoss winner, could it be?

Maybe only Korea knows that an alien invasion is going to happen soon, I guess we can find a correlation for korean underperformings in tournaments and conspirations all over the globe.

They knew that the GSL president was going down in the Epstein trial, and even though they sent herO to kill him, they're scared.
