Yes, I should have specified that I was talking about WoL since HoTS has the novelty factor included in it which boosts the views the tournament had. | ||

What you mean to say is that, "without Koreans," we still have cake but not PIE! And if the negative consequences of this event are being overstated, then I can't wait for things to be clarified. | ||

The age group is vastly different as in they need to develop a lot longer, i.e. Flash and BaBy were child prodigies. I do agree on having minor leagues and major leagues though. That's why the OSL had survivor tournaments. That's why Pro Gamers earned their right through Courage. That's why the GSL has Code B, A and the grand Daddy of them all S (which in reality has very limited meaning now once you look at the groups). I agree that Flash and BaBy were likely the most talented people that enter the progaming scene in Korea, but the system they had focused that talent into the players they are today. The problem in NA is that we don’t have any system to find that talent or a system to cultivate it. And even if we could find that player, we wouldn’t know what to do with him or her and you can’t just send some kid off to train in Korea without building it up to it. | ||

The only reason I could possibly think of is that Blizzard wants to get rid of KeSPA once and for all (running OSL on their own), but that seems... unlikely. Also, at this point there are so many ridiculous rumors and almost no concrete information... I think at some point in this topic GSL, OSL, GSTL, WCS and PL have all been killed. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the reactions we're seeing from players, media, etc. are also based on rumors... just because someone is Korean and/or a pro doesn't mean they know everything that's going on. No.. just no.. the birth of Esports was an indiviual league. Proleague is not more prestigious than OSL. No matter how much money kespa puts into Proleague, it will never be as prestigious/popular as OSL. Who says proleague is more prestigious than OSL? dont paint yourself as a majority. | ||

I would watch the shit out of Flash vs Life while i wouldn't watch Life stream. It's just different to a point. And to the question: I would much prefer Flash vs Life finals over IdrA Demuslim. While i love to watch IdrA or Demuslim stream, i want the craziest micro with sickest macro you can get on the planet in a final. If that is displayed by a foreigner, that's the icing on the cake. nomnom. Now im hungry TT. | ||

Those are only two examples though. I decided to use the most popular ones because a lot of people know their story. As for the NA scene, there are a few guys who have a good eye for scouting talent here. One of which is headlining the CSL atm. Pretty good gig if you ask me. There are plenty of opportunities here. As for cultivating such a thing, well that's completely different and unfortunately I never see that changing. This pre-dates to the BW days where a bunch of guys would join Korean guilds/clans and practice in those houses. As if they were already a member of a Pro Gaming team where you live it and breath it. This type of endeavor isn't for everyone. Just like sail racing all across the world isn't for everyone. You see how those guys live? Holy shit. I couldn't imagine it. | ||
