he's not blaming anyone he is just saying that he would rather watch foreigners play and not pay a ridiculous price for MLG when he can watch dreamhack for free, at better times for europeans (MLG is 2am-8am on friday for me or something like that...), and he gets to see his favorite foreign player (if he isn't a fan of Grubby Socke or Stephano)

Group A is interesting. Although both Ryung and Inori are lesser known players both have about Code S level vZ.

I don´t have the slightest idea who will make it out. I guess its the group of death to me...

oh yeah i forgot about them...

but don't think any other europeans are coming

mlg is kinda making itself very unattractive for EU players and even for US players it's almost impossible to qualify with all the koreans around

i don't expect more than 5 foreigners on championschip sunday

I really cant hear that bullshit anymore about "foreigners need to train harder".

Firstly because so many Europeans, especially from the East work their ass off but still will never catch up to the Koreans because of the way things are. (Difference in infrastructure, player pool etc.) Do you want to watch humans with a somewhat normal life like most western professional atheletes or a bunch of kids living under terrible circumstances withdrawn from life playing games 16 hours a day?

Secondly because its stupid to encourage people to give up EVERYTHING for one goal only because a bunch of Koreans do so because of their totally fucked up work ethic.

Yes and no. "This is the championship weekend the BW legends are playing a separate tournament, which happens to be at the same place" would be more like it. I guess they will chicken out of the actual event.

I think that Ryung will do well in Group A; his TvZ is pretty strong.

its not a question of who is best and trains hardest. We know its Koreans...they play the best SC2 and probably always will. The problem is its hard to get emotionally attached to 20+ Koreans every tournament as it would be to someone from your own country that is just how it is in every sport. There is a reason people cheer on their local teams much of the time.

I want Koreans to always come to the pre-eminent events just not 90% of all matches to be Koreans v Koreans. That does not have a Global market and consequently bodes poorly for a mass market entertainment.

Lets have more tournies that limit Koreans but bar WCS Country / Continental type of events should never bar them all as I like most also want to see the best ....just want some balance.

But that's like COMMUNISM !! Rabble Rabble Rabble! tok er jebs! zZzZ...

To limit and "tax" spots from Koreans would be so akward and bring a essence of fakeness into MLG or other tournaments. You know you are watching lesser player just because of popularity/more viewers/image and not the real thing: Skill.
It would be some sort of a sellout.

It is annoying though, would be nicer to see a more even balance, but it's hard to know exactly what to do about it. Ofc it would be fixed if foreigners actually did train harder and show more effort. >_>
