Not sure if i like that. And why isn't Dreamhack involved? They made the awesome EU Finals last year, and it was the best Event of the whole Seasion! And i dont think that the second Korean Season will be so good...I mean, not so many people will watch, just because of the casters. And if, let's say, 5 Koreans are in the EU Finals, it wouldn't be exiting at all. That was the special thing about the last Finals. So i agree with MC. | ||

A Korean who lives in Korea and never leaves Korea can play on NA/EU if they are willing to put up with the latency, which many are, and will, if it means much easier opponents and better opportunities (and more money). | ||

But that is what they are basically doing, since if koreans want to participate in europe or america they have to move there (at least temporarily). And obviously, they can't discriminate based on the race of a person, so what do you want Blizzard to do if a Korean moves somewhere to participate? No they dont have to move there. They just can only play wcs events in that region. If you choose korea, you can only play gsl/osl. If you choose na you can only play mlg wcs, and europe iem wcs. All players can play non ecs events such as NASL and Dreamhack. So koreans can just train in korea, go to IEM for the weekend and mop up the foreigner noobs. | ||

I'd rather watch good Koreans playing, than watching GoOdy get supply blocked every other minute like he did against Stephano in HSC VI. Foreigners are great to watch when they are good at the game - if i wanted to see noobs play i would watch my own replays. that's what i mean.. i want see good games..great games that i will remember that's what i care about as a audience | ||

The interview mentioned top 16 of each tournament is played in a studio environment.. So if a Kr doesn't leave Korea, how does he play in the studio in the US? | ||

The result? "Whaaat? Why more content? Now Koreans won't compete in one league only  ((((. So what if Koreans are happy they get bigger chance for a break through? So what if foreigners will have stable leagues which make they practice more and become better? So what if there is so much more content and first global league with seasons. I want all Koreans in one place. This suuuucks." This is pretty facepalm worthy. | ||

It's not much easier for a NA player to fly cross country and stay somewhere else for a month for the Ro16 than it is for a korean to do that. It would be astonishing if the Ro16 onward wasn't played out ASAP. | ||

Oh ok i forgot that some of the WCS are playable online via the internet (so koreans dont actually have to go there until the final stages?) | ||

I never said that, but you said A korean can NEVER leave Korea and play on NA/EU, which is false.... Logic, my friend, because he WILL have to leave Korea to play in the top 16, be it a weekend or 2, he HAS TO leave Kr to progress. | ||

However, from seeing these twitter reactions from players, it's almost like they just learned about this news today. Am I missing something here? It seems like people who were "qualified" for WCS Korea weren't really given a choice. Since they're already competing in WCS Korea, they weren't allowed to choose to move to a different region. That's just what it seems like, since all these tweets are coming from players who are in CodeA/CodeS already. | ||

Well, in any case, it's not like it's going to stop them from swapping, lol. If they have to spend a week overseas, so be it. I am certain many of them will take the opportunity, considering how many compete in qualifiers for overseas events very regularly in the years before now. | ||
