On the comment above, is TSL 3 considered NA because the final happened to be in NY? Or is TSL considered NA in general? I don't agree with either since it's really just an online event. If we're going by the second though, Creator is also in the "one away from triple crown" category since he won WCS Korea 2012. | ||

TSL3 - It's kind of NA. TSL4 shouldn't probably by any region as it was completely online (so I removed Creator's entry).  Triple CrownThere is a number of tournaments without any region - mostly IEMs (in China, Singapore, Brazil), last WCG, WCS Asia and WC. And of course IPL2 and TSL4 which were both 100% online. Note that similarly to TSL3, IronSquid was mostly online event (last two rounds offline) and NASL kind of as well considering it - depending on the season - only last few rounds were offline. It's hard to point how much of the tournament has to be offline to be region tied. Really the topic is out of date. | ||

Might be a while~~ There won't be any foreigner as the only premier events in Korea are WCS KR GSL/OSL - and no foreigner has a real shot at the title, especially now as the title prevents player to play WCS in EU/NA - or the season 1 finals which at least on paper has a bit more chance to happen... | ||

BlizzardCup now renamed Hot6cup is still going to happen and thats a Premier Event. Hopefully some foreigners will be invited. | ||

I don't think any foreigner has a shot at a title in a tournament with most top koreans present. Even IPL3 and NASL3 wasn't stucked with mind blowing korean line-up. | ||

Might be a while~~ Gogo Sjow for a Little Triple: IeSF 2011 IEM European Championships 2011 Just needs NA title... Or monchi for a very little triple: IeSF 2012 EPS Winter 2012 Just needs NA title... Unfortunately I think that these two might be the only two to ever win a title on Korean soil. | ||

Could be argued that the great the time span the more impressive. For a player to stay at premier tournament winning condition is not easy. | ||

Except they don't - they just rise to peak once in a while. Look at SC:BW - what was more impressive: When one of the Bonjwa went on a hot streak to win at least 3 out of 4 starleague consecutive finals (like BoxeR's OSL, OSL, runner-up OSL, KPGA or Flash's MSL, MSL, OSL 2010/2011) - or - July Zerg peaking every in - well - July's of 2004, 2005 and 2008? For me it's easy choice. | ||
