I'm sure it'll be better for the foreign players as cashing in the tournament as well as foreign success is going to come a lot easier over here instead of Korea. Am I excited for it? Sure am. | ||

Hope they have some major backing so the league gets off to a good start. Seeing that Gosucoaching was able to connect a movie as a sponsor for the team league it looks like a bright future for the western gaming scene. | ||

While I'd say that the korean pro avg is indeed aroudn the same as in NA, korea still has a lot more TOP players. Like really top players. However, Im pretty sure that even high master league players can show decent games so I wouldn't be too worried about bad games or anything. if anything NA players tend to play more macro if Im correct? =] | ||

That means that much more foreigners do well in Korean tournaments than do koreans. We are both just human, they aren't inherently better. Once again, this argument comes up. Try taking MVP, MC, MKP, Nestea, Tester, Squirtle, Nada, Fruitdealer - merely 8 players - to a North American tournament and see how they fare. They're not inherently better, but most people accept that they are still better at this point because of the huge gaming scene generated during BW and the cutthroat training environment the players are living in. Anyway, coming back to the topic of this thread, really excited to see it happen. It'd be great to see the competitive SC2 scene grow big here and more widely accepted by the general public. | ||

Do you really expect people to take things seriously when the person running a major league is part of one of the teams competing? That would be like the Green Bay Packers owning the NFL. Massive conflict of interest. | ||
