The number of top koreans at euro events have been abysmal this year and it seems like it's harder to win code a qualifiers than it is to win a euro tournament this year. Comparing the level of competition of mlg/ipls to dh/assembly this year is like major league vs minor leagues almost. Euro tourneys need to start paying for KR flights to stay on par with US tourneys competition wise. The next DH is their pinnacle event and I'm not excited for it one bit with that lineup.  Why would we want more Korean players flown out to and/or seeded into EU and NA events? One of the best event this year was WCS Europe, which had no Koreans. I don’t want special treatment for Korean players when teams are flying and players are paying their own way to EU events. If was sort of a joke that Flash was seeded into MLG groups because of a special tournament run just to make sure that Kespa players were seeded. If you can’t afford the flight, get enough support to go to the event, you didn’t care enough to play and win. No special treatment because a player happens to be from Korea. That may seem harsh, but life is hard, get a helmet. | ||

So now Sundance wants to create a great divide by making IEM/DH/MLG the only legitimate foreign tournament scene. It's a damn shame. IPL 5 is going to be the best foreign tournament in the world, and Sundance is scared of them. | ||

What was announced is a good thing and was likely done with the three groups that were willing to agree. Kespa is not part of this, but neither is NASL. There likely isn’t anything sinister and other leagues just found that it wouldn’t work for them. Buisnesses mostly get along and say “Thanks, but no thanks.” | ||

wow. just a couple of weeks ago everything was so doom and gloom (even though I still think HotS is shaping up to be shit ;P). glad to see the big tournaments working together towards a better competitive scene. | ||

I would love if they also added IPL, but it's a step in the right direction i think. | ||

They know how to put together a good tournament, even if it benefits the 'greedy' and thus 'evil' Sundance. | ||
