if minor league baseball can't draw a crowd, I don't think minor league SC is going to do too well.

I would invite 2-3 to start with, just to have that 'villain' to fear and hope to defeat. 2-3 out of 50? You cannot say NO to Nada, July, MC... there needs to be at least 10 Koreans to make it legit. 25 America's 15 Euro 10 Kor/Asia | ||

Well MLG will do completely without Koreans. And I believe they will do just fine. I also think there should be Koreans in the tourney, but no majority. Something like 10 would be cool. A tournament with 45 koreans and 5 foreigners would not make much sense imo, because that would be GSL 2. And I dont need 2 tournaments with the exact same players. NASL is about showcasing some of the top NA/EU players as well in a high profile tournament in addition to the Koreans that we usually see. | ||

Sure MLG does fine without Koreans, but I really don't see them making pro sc2 huge either. That's what the NASL is trying to do | ||

Do you think it's coincidence that nearly every Code S player has been BW Pros? And what percentage of all BW pros were Korean? Korea will be better than everywhere else skillwise until the game has been around long enough for most of the sc1 pros to retire. The only way to speed up the advancement of nonkorean skill across the globe is to have tournaments like this that foster the same kind of competitive hardcore large-scale (in both quality and quantity of participants) environment that Korea currently is the only global haven for. | ||

The latency thing works like this: because commands aren't sent and received instantly, it's impossible for all the copies of the game to know what's happening instantly. However, in this kind of game it doesn't make sense to allow instant changes and then fix up the results on other computers after it's happened without showing how it happened, because that would give visible skips, and an instant reaction like in an FPS isn't absolutely required. Hence commands usually have a fixed time lag after which they'll take effect. If this time lag is too short and the command arrives after it was supposed to happen, the command could be ignored (not usually), or you'll get spikes or disconnection. That fixed time is what you're modifying when you change the latency of a blizzard game like Warcraft 3. So it's a trade-off between risk of spikes and latency experienced - blizzard have traditionally set this very high, because some connections are unstable and can have very variable latency and it's easier to ensure everything works if it's high, plus then you don't have to bother explaining this to the user. | ||

I just sigh at every known players with this type of view because it clearly shows that they are not a true competitor. they are admitting inferiority straight up and even giving up at the idea that they can ever be as good as them. it's just sad. | ||

Who says they won't interact with americans? they've never had an avenue to, aside from Cella who has done his livestream for us, there isn't exactly a ton of opportunities for them to interact with us, but they DO know that they have fans, and they do thank us even sometimes calling out foreign fans directly in their post/pre game interviews. How many of the non-korean players say that or say the same shit? By that same method, half of the europeans and some of the americans don't deserve spots either. | ||

GSL begs to differ, and a lot of Korean players do stream for teamliquid specifically. The fact that they greatly overshadow any western players despite the cultural difference means that these so called western pros should work harder to be the best at a competitive global game. More GSL level games = better and will only help NASL | ||
