South Korea is called the Mecca of SC2 for a reason, because SC2 holds a major foothold in the country. Most people suspect the announcement will be related to (a) Korean league(s) as a result. | ||

Really hoping this turns out to be a figment of community imagination but my gut is telling meit's coming and I'm not buying one inch of it from those shrugging their shoulders saying hey it's just the way of the future. That's a crappy future for a competitive scene. CatZ posterchilding it on SotG was appropriate in all the ways I'm surprised this community isn't more vehemently scared about. | ||

I'm tired of foreigners implicitly throwing in the towel. If there are foreign pros who can't get motivated because the Korean competition is stiff and they're stealing all the prize pools in 'our' tournaments, I'm not interested in those pros. I want the ones that are determined to get better & be competitive against the best. Does US become the 'It's Okay American Pros Everybody Gets Medals Now' circuit? I have my pet favorites I'm dying to see on the mainstage more but if they're just beating up on each other in the kiddie pool...no thanks.

That's a crappy future for a competitive scene. CatZ posterchilding it on SotG was appropriate in all the ways I'm surprised this community is more vehemently scared about. Couldn't agree with this more. If it is region locking, i just wont watch anything but the korean scene, because as much as i love some euro/american players and want them to do well, it will simply disgust me to watch them only start winning because everyone decided that they weren't capable of competing with koreans and threw in the towel. I believe that tournament viewership would go down across the board is region locking is the case. | ||
