But great for MLG, they pretty much secure themselves exclusive rights for determining the "world champion". It's not like foreigners will be competing in proleague. | ||

The best part about the growing Starcraft community is seeing brand new tournaments emerge every year, each with its own style and atmosphere. Lone Star and Iron Squid. Homestory. Dreamhacks. NASL. So many different flavors and new ones popping up every week. Can you imagine if the US. Open got 'exclusive' rights to Roger Federer? Very strange model. | ||

@MLGSundance No comment on the exclusivity other than to say that it is exclusive. jumbo shrimp. pretty ugly. knife to a gun fight and all that stuff. | ||

Seems like MLG fired a few too many of their writers, however. Blatantly wrong info (since when is MLG bigger than Proleague? and KeSPA players have played BW in the US since 2004 =/) in an announcement post is really annoying, and it still hasn't been edited. Bad form. | ||

They just started to play SC2 for about one month or so, and the MLG guys brought them to the US to do SC2 showmatches? NA master players can beat the hell out of them. I get it. There will be only KeSPA guys fighting KeSPA guys. Ok. That's a relief. You really think NA masters player can beat them? Guys that are already matched up against SC2 Korean pros? | ||

I actually have a hard time believing that Kespa would do this, to limit their players to a single foreign tournament for multiple years. There has to be more to this. But great for MLG, they pretty much secure themselves exclusive rights for determining the "world champion". It's not like foreigners will be competing in proleague. While I don't like that it seems to be exclusive it isn't a surprise at all. Kespa wants their players under full control. | ||
