Wanting E-Sports to grow around the world, thus allowing Koreans, which could potentially scare away people who would want to qualify otherwise. Or wanting E-Sports to grow in the western side of the world, keeping most Koreans out and potentially hurting their cause. Either way it's a win win. win. imo Banning Koreans does not make esports grow in the west at all, it makes half the viewers immediately not give a crap about your tournament. | ||

In other news im really excited to see how they maintain their incredible levels of production at a live event. The IPL stuff has been brilliantly done so far and feels leaps and bounds ahead of the content put out by other leagues and tournaments I've seen. The change from the average stuff a couple years ago to the IPL is pretty incredible | ||

so we're gonna get stomp games either way. i don't find idra beating guys like cruncher to be interesting, because he doesn't even have to practice to do it. | ||

Hope they bring some koreans. I dont think they make or break a tournament, but a few thrown in there would certainly increase the quality of both the games and competition. Overall though, sounds like a great event, hope i can attend! :D | ||

Certainly more than half, according to most polls (including the one on the bottom right). Not allowing Koreans in would be a massive step in the wrong direction. | ||
