Really really wrong decision, scene is already anemic and nobody has hope and you crushed all of our players hopes and dreams Blizzard. I really just want to watch higher quality games. Right now, that means primarily Koreans, because few others can hack it. The game is a lot more fun to watch when the number of stupid mistakes by players is at an absolute minimum. Same reason you don't see non-ATP tennis on TV. It kinda sucks by comparison. | ||

LOLZ but we can do it too them! Yeah right. Axiom probably easy gets MMA into our league and he hangs out at TotalBiscuits house and just gets all dat cash EZPZ. Korean fetishization is so stupid, we have to give them our leagues just so they will love us or something. Really really wrong decision, scene is already anemic and nobody has hope and you crushed all of our players hopes and dreams Blizzard. if foreigners want to win stuff maybe they should get better. i'm fucking sick of western players not dedicating anywhere near as much time and energy to practice as Koreans do and then complain when they lose to them. | ||

So yes Code S is WCS Korea, but the point is WCS Korea is much harder than WCS 'Worlds'. Not necessarily. Harder than the seasonal finals? Probably, as unless there is a mass migration of Koreans to the other regions a fair amount of foreigners are likely to get through to those. But the grand finals at Blizzcon? No way. That could easily be 14-16 Koreans as it's based on top point earners for the year. Presumably, Koreans are going to win all of the seasonal finals so...unless foreigners kick ass at the non-wcs events for additional points how can they possibly gain entry? The grand finals is essentially, several code S seasons/OSL and the seasonal finals to even qualify. Chances are it's going to be filled with badasses. | ||

If they are truly the best then they will pretty much be only players in the big finale at blizzcon. | ||

Beside it would give foreigners more spots and chance too. If it goes by GSL format then: We will have 32 spots for premier division, 48 spots for challenger division. That means up and comer players would have a staple tournaments to play and improve themselves by playing with good players seasonally. | ||

How can they compare points from WCS KR and WCS NA/EU? Stephano will be No.1 seed for grand final every year, top koreans can't even guarantee top 16 for WCS KR every season, they will definitely get less points. It's possible that code B Koreans can get more points in NA than life or Flash in Korea. | ||

How does relocating to NA/EU help their A team in korea where it counts? Not only that, but SPL is still the premier league for them. I'll call it now and say there is zero chance any Kespa player goes to NA/EU. | ||
