Anybody else think NASL got screwed? I mean they have a legit KR style season tournament already. Some non-WCS tournaments will be getting WCS points, so I would think that tournaments like NASL and Dreamhack will still be relevant.
I don't know how they can make that possible. That would allow people who attend tournaments outside of the WCS/GSL seasons to gather extra points that aren't available to those who can't attend for various reasons.

I can't stay up to 5am watching sc2, some of us actually have responsibilities. Before I could at least watch the top koreans when they came to crush foreigners at MLG and IPL, but now I don't even get that opportunity anymore.

Blizzard has already been using offline tournament servers at a few events recently, although it hasn't been 100% reliable.

You will be able to see them, don't worry. No Code S Korean isn't going to show up at MLG when $25,000 is on the line because of WCS.

So..GSL:free 720p but still need a ticket for vods?
Can't watch it live everyday so guess i'll keep getting tickets :p Yeah, that is what I will do, well I guess already did (I haven't got GSTL yet but I was waiting for this announcement before getting my season pass because of that rumour about GSTL going away). Stay up until 3AM my time to watch live and not be able to rewatch or pay $60 per year for VODs. Pretty easy answer if you ask me.
Yup yup, been getting tickets for around 2 years now..so it'll be all normal for me :p

GSL pass -> VODs. Stop seeing problems and look for solutions.
EDIT: this is how i think it is going to work.

You are confused. That's like saying "why is eSF in this, they just let their players play".

If its like GSL (~100$/year) - no chance in hell! If its like ProLeague (5$ for the year) no question.

SPL and GSTL means most Koreans will stay in Korea.
|
I do think the Korean player pool could get smaller as even fewer Korean events mean even fewer chances to play broadcasted games for the majority of up and coming pro players so it might not seem viable to continue trying to go pro for as many young players.
I could see teams dying.

Oh really? That's news to me.
They used an offline server at the last IEM that was running the HotS beta after the beta closed, and it had some technical difficulties sometimes.

100$ a year for something you enjoy is pretty cheap.
