We all recognize that there's nothing inherent in Europeans / Americans that makes them less-good at SC2 than Koreans. So if you ever want non-Koreans to be as good as Koreans in general, you need to give them special attention and in particular spend more money incentivizing and training them. It's the same reason why we have progressive tax brackets. People at the bottom don't really deserve to be at the bottom a lot of the time; there are a lot of people who have the potential to be top-tier players, but for external reasons would never get there without some assistance. Are you completely missing the point I'm making? Sure give the foreigners a helping hand, but do it WITHOUT sucking money out of the Korean scene and screwing over everyone who isn't a Life or Innovation caliber player. | ||

What other responses do people expect? This was a clusterfuck that everyone should have seen coming a mile away for the first season. I don't really understand why we have to keep beating this dead horse. | ||

At least the Blizzard rep is holding strong and coming up with legit-enough answers. If it was just a repeat of the MLG-non-apology I'd have finally committed and switched to DOTA 2. | ||

The stabs are not sticking; he does what a good PR guy does; "everyone, I understand your frustration. We can do what you are asking, and we are doing it. Just give us some more time. And for your confidence now, i'll trade you some more behind-the-scene-information. Have confidence because the future will be great." | ||

Korean pillaging =/= NA scene growth At least the Blizzard rep is holding strong and coming up with legit-enough answers. If it was just a repeat of the MLG-non-apology I'd have finally committed and switched to DOTA 2. Holy fucking shit, the Koreans are getting screwed over just as bad. Why the hell is no one speaking up for them? Acting like they are rolling in stolen cash when the vast majority of them are simply slaving away in team houses all day for nothing. | ||

Explain why things wen't wrong from your point of view. Yeah, I bugs me so much that he's not answering any questions at all, he's avoiding them. | ||
