What restricted tournaments do Koreans have?

GOM even went out of their way to give foreign players a chance to compete in Code A, a tournament that's insanely hard to qualify for, and that guys like DRG and Bomber had to wait several seasons to get in.

Because the level of the games is way lower? The builds and execution aren't as good and I for one have a hard time enjoying games where i know a decent code a/b korean would demolish all the players easily.

do you want NA/EU players to play or do you want this to become brood war where only koreans and like 10 foriengers play, without NA/EU torneys then esports will slowly fade away

It's been stated multiple times IPL wants Koreans in their tourney but haven't included them so far due to regional issues, however they are working on it. So seriously stop making useless posts that all say the goddamn thing.

The "esports" will fade away if there isn't a high enough level of play anyway. If you can't attract the audience, then there is no justification to throw insane amounts of money into it. Maybe for a year or two, but eventually it'll just implode. Western SC2 is already artificially inflated as it is.

I'd give anything for SC2 to become another Brood War (or at least a worthy sequel) and produce similar quality of games, and it is slowly going there.

I want EU/NA players to play if they're near or on the same level as good koreans. I enjoy Huk, Sen and Naniwa but other than that the level of play is just lower. Having the biggest prize pool of any tournament while having none of the best players just makes it less interesting in my opinion.

Koreans don't restrict access at all, they provide foreigners with a house to live in and allow them to bypass Code B. They really couldn't do more to accomodate foreigners.

What's wrong with best of the west is that the players and most of fans consider it worthless as the majority of good players aren't involved.

It peaks during Puma/MC. And the GSL finals has over 600k Vod Views across the KR/NA site not including live viewers.

THANK YOU lol

People have this impression that you guys are racist or something haha...

Your online tournaments of course will be hard to coordinate across multiple regions. Live event? No such issue.

But "if"? Is this all BS from ESFI?
