Blizzard made a good move to do this though good idea overall. I hope its all free that is the best part even if the vods or HD cost extra.

Basically OGN and GOM will have english casts of Code S/OSL going on simultaneously. We're still digesting it too.


Btw

So... who's not going to watch Tastosis?

The cool thing is Tastosis casting OSL.

Some people seem confused regarding the casting of Proleague. Those casters will be unchanged, as will the season/format.

y is everyone complaining about region locks? players can still attend NON WCS tournaments anywhere they want

Thing is, just NASL and DreamHack feels restricted compared to the absolute freedom players had before.


I think this will make Dreamhack THE tournament to watch though, because they will be one of the few ones with players from all regions.

MLGs? IEMs? etc.

Only WCS events are locked.


Yeah but Dreamhack will be the biggest brand not doing WCS, so their events will probably end up being the best. Unless somehow doing WCS 3 times a year doesn't decrease the value of the MLG and IEM major events at all.

Players can can pick what region they want to play in. Not nationality restricted. But they are locked into the region they select.

What's gonna be ridiculous is if Koreans try to play in the American/European leagues online because it's an easier field


So many lower level Koreans will play with lag I'm sure, I hope they change it to you have lived there for X amount of time or be a citizen or something.

Yeah I have to say this is good overall to give each region something to shoot for and the best rise to the top. All the competitions now count for something.

no it wouldnt

it'd be just like the grandmaster system in different regions

getting GM in NA / EU is not much as an accomplishment as getting GM in korea

But it will let us see inter-region battles. Where foreigners ended in large tournaments were much more to do with what Koreans you hit than your skill-level. I would love to see a somewhat accurate picture of the NA scene. Is Minigun or Illusion the best? What about Demuslim? How does Idra stack up, is he even top8 when it comes to the NA scene?

Also GM means very little because ladder is a terrible indicator of skill.


So are regions derp. The only player I gave praise on your list was Illusion and that was when he was starting to find his legs. Unfortunately he's been stuck in a crappy situation so he never blossomed.

In any case, we should have all seen this coming which is fine because it doesn't affect the other tournaments in anyway really.

By running their own game and making it more global? I don't see it.
