I tried searching on TLPD for [shield] members. Other than  Sea and  Bisu, I don't really see any notable [shield] players other than the ones that have already switched to SC2 like MMA, MKP, SangHo, and HerO. 910, Spear, and  JiHyun seem to be the only ones with any slight hint of achievements, though their most recent games are over a year or two ago. | ||

we all know that is precisely what happened with BW. in the end foreigners pack up and go home. that's also the reason why BW is in trouble right now. it's a catch 22. | ||

Did you even read the article with coaches? they all said that they made the mistake not including the foreign scene in BW and that's why BW is dying and they will make sure not make the mistake again. T_T They wont ROFLstomp foreigners because foreigners have the same opportunities as the Koreans nowadays, nobody hinders them from going to Korea and practice with the koreans (See: Naniwa, HuK, SaSe etc.). Most of the coaches said that they have players that've reached Masters on korean server, that doesn't even say anything (and they've been praticing parttime since 3 months back) It took NightEnd a week to reach GM on Korea. SC2 is NOT BW. | ||

SC2 is NOT BW. it seems they are more interested in protecting the interests of the current sc2 teams. honestly, it's hard to exclude willing players from tournaments "just because they're korean". You can also tell that over time, foreigners are actually losing ground, not gaining. I'm not really here to discuss if the BW teams will usurp the dominant positions in SC2 (even though I think that will be the case). I'm saying that even if they are average, at worst, that there will be a lot more hurdles for any foreigner to overcome. More players = more competition = higher skill level. It's simple. | ||
