This good be either very good or very bad... rumors are rumors, and I'm going to optimistically (at the risk of being naive) put it off as "We don't know anything yet."

Times have changed since then. By now everybody knows that from a competitive aspect tournaments without Koreans are very low level.

Yea I don't want to hear "X foreigner only won because koreans wern't there."


Why? Every time a European hockey team wins its because the NHL pros from NA were not there? You do realize that most NA teams in professional sports(excluding soccer) could mop the floor with any other team in the world. Does that stop them from having their own leagues? Do people not watch college football, claiming, “Well there are no NFL players so these kids are jokes.” There are soccer teams for tons of countries and only some are top tier.


NA teams are good but they can't MOP THE FLOOR with ANY other team in the world IN ALL SPORTS excluding soccer. Come on I wanna see where is merica's curling team winning championships left and right...

I'm sure India's cricket teams are laughing at that statement right now as well

Not gonna lie, there are a few country rugby teams that are probably laughing at that statement too

When I first read the OP, I assumed that this was good as it meant Blizzard was really going for Esports, which they have been since SC2 released, there is a reason why there are huge Blizzard logos at every event, and it's not just because it's Blizzard's games.

And it turns out, I was right.


OK, I spoke with Blizzard. Under embargo on the main announcements, but the bad rumors appear to be incorrect interpretations of fact

And some baseball teams from Dominican Republic and Peurto Rico also laughing their asses off.

You know, how they just beat a North American team at its own pastime on home soil.

Isn't that a great example? Because if you took all the foreign players out of MLB, it would be far less compelling to watch. A Starcraft tournament without Koreans is not worth taking seriously.

When I said earlier Afaik there's no changes to proleague/GSTL ~ the teams haven't been given any info about changes to them (up until now at least) for players/format like they have about individual leagues. It is possible they will still announce changes later~ And branding/etc of course as well (teams wouldn't be informed about this because it is inconsequential to them for now)

Well if there is going to be region locking for tournaments, I want to volunteer myself to write a new Elephant in the Room article and talk about how MLG/Dreamhack are a farce and how 300 Korean pros could potentially switch over and dominate.

Overall, this must be good news.
There is no way Mike Morhaime is announcing something bad and travelling to Korea to deliver that bad news.

The "reshuffling of leagues" may have some small negative impacts on 1 or 2 specific teams and/or 1 or 2 specific pro players. This is why their might be some pre-announcement whining.

[/speculation]

was Mohraime around for the announcement of the new Warcraft card game at PAX East?

Even if he was, if we're talking 'bout S.K. alone, bw is still in the top 5 - top 10 games being played whereas sc2 in general (WoL & HotS) aren't even in top 20, so really.. I doubt it would be a BAD move to actually pull off a bw tourney. But then again, all of those teams have switched to sc2, it would be a major mindf*ck for all of them.

What the heck are those guys on? lol Looks at how many prospects and MLB players are on those teams and how many MLB players turned it down or weren't allowed to because their team's were worried about previous injuries healing up. Dumbfounded. Why would anyone use that type of example to make a point is beyond me and the collegiate sports was already addressed.

Rod Breslau @Slasher 2m

What is happening in SC2 is larger than just Korea, though I have been invited by Blizzard to go there on April 3rd. Hope to have more soon.

I'm pretty ignorant on the dealings between OSL, GSL and Blizzard, but this is gradually appearing larger in scale as time goes by. Though I doubt Blizzard would go around inviting foreigner personalities and expecting an audience if this wasn't a positive development.

Rod Breslau @Slasher 50s

Nonetheless, this is of larger scope than simple tweets, and FACTS are needed, not just speculation. Similar to IPL situation. Need time.
