Yeah I kinda get annoyed that non-korean teams are picking up koreans coz I'd love to see truly great non-korean teams start to form by taking in and training up promising talent, and keeping those who are alrealy great and trying to propel them higher. | ||

I've finally hit GM, I've taken games off notable names on ladder... But who's going to watch my stream? What team would want me (and pay)? Nobody. One thing that REALLY upsets me is one of the few ways I could be making money playing this game is through something like Playhem... I have been to the semi's before, and quarters many times... But who takes the crown away? The same Koreans (Revival, Golden, Rainbow, Illusion) etc... Like seriously... I would be a lot more motivated to play if the chances of me actually winning anything were improved by removing said players. /rant... | ||

Teams in Korea pick up players if they are good or have potential Its sad Players like ailuJ are perfect examples of this. | ||

This should definitely be taken into consideration for tournament organizers | ||

I didn't know you were in korea :D But yeah i guess my comment would be if i were trying to go pro id take the violet route and plan to play everyday and compete in tournies everyday, with the goal being to improve to win tournies....making a name for myself hopefully? Idk | ||

So yeah there might be a period where foreigners are sparse, but new talents are going to come up as SC2 becomes more popular and accepted. | ||

You find it upsetting that players who are better than you are winning the tournaments you do play in? If you went to Mlg and lost would you find it upsetting that the same people are always reaching the top 4, top 8, top 16, top 32? would you be more motivated to play if your chances of winning were improved by removing said players? | ||

Too many people bash on events that don't have highest level Koreans in them. The events that help foreign players to get noticed are very important, but many forum/reddit posters are obnoxiosly vocal about how they don't care about "lesser" players. Shut the fuck up already. By the way, in Russia/CIS soon there will be a big online league for all skill levels (Sc2tv.ru Non-stop Games league), they have a structure similar to GSL, except they have more tiers -- from Code S, Code A, Code B all the way to Code F. I think this is exactly what OP asks for. | ||

Isnt that the way the competition should work? Remove all South America and Europe players from football World cup, so that African or any other national team could win it. | ||

I think you would understand when you devote as much time into this game I have and haven't received $1 for it. In response to this, I think it's a matter of that there are no new players. SC2 has a very small player base and for 2012 it's all set in terms of e-sports viewership but I really do wonder if it will be around for 2013 unless HotS turns out to be amazing  | ||

I'm sorry but that is an absurd statement... imagine your a pretty good basketball or football player and you tell someone Ive devoted so much time into this game and I haven't received $1 for it. | ||
