You lose some of the best years/experience in high school surely, but you can always go back and graduate. When it comes to post secondary you will see people of all walks in life so you will still be able to get that experience. That's the right spirit indeed. | ||

Just like Life. Before MVP, Nestea MC era he is nothing and unheard of. That doesn't make any Code A/B players no good. In fact, some are good but no luck during actual qualifier day. Again, put them (those you called Code A/B players weak who can't get past any of their own countrymen) in ANY foreigners event, they will own you. The point is that their regional qualifiers, which means that they should be played by people from that region. Not a bunch of people who just want easy money. If a regional qualifier could be played by anyone, that takes away the point of it being regional. | ||

As far as my understanding goes MLG tournaments will still happen independently. Maybe WCS will be incorporated in their big LANs though. Same with IEM I think. | ||

If so, I can understand why a MC is mad. | ||

If you're in Code A or the qualifiers, that means you're already locked into Korea as your region, but you have no chance to compete for points because only Code S players get to? If so, I can understand why a MC is mad. I hope they all worker rush in protest. | ||

Also I think the decision to play WCS in another region should require you to reside in that region so that you actually have to move and practice in that region for a certain amount of time which would result in a more even skill distribution and a way of legitimizing players playing in another region. | ||

Why do you want to make it a harder region lock than it already is? Koreans mostly don't even complain about having a harder qualifier, they do complain that they are locked into region and Code S is taken as qualifier which is already decided and Code A / B players don't even had the chance to qualify due to this. Based on WOL results and the very last season of GSL WoL it has been decided who is qualified...= . = which is just wrong | ||

Based on WOL results and the very last season of GSL WoL it has been decided who is qualified...= . = which is just wrong I am still not quite sure how the system works to be honest. But if playing Code A and playing WCS in another region means that you can qualify for the next WCS season through two different events I think it's not quite fair. Everyone should have the same chance of qualifying. If the best solution is to run a separate qualifier I have nothing against that. I agree that it is not very fair or legitimate to just run the first WCS Korea with all the Code S players. While all the players trying to qualify for Code S don't even get a chance to play in WCS. My other point about requiring residency for Players playing in different regions is based on the argument that this would help the different regions because it would mean that a player actually had to practice in the region he plays in so if Koreans decide to play in EU and NA which I have no problem with they would be playing on those servers and the level of play in those regions would rise. Also it would legitimize the players doing that and add to their story line. If you think about Polt nobody can really fault him for playing in NA because he is living there and adding to the competitiveness of the American scene just like ForGG is doing the same in Europe. | ||

The problem is that it won't help foreigners to play in Korea. 0_0 mindblown. The runner up being worse than ~50-100 Koreans would make this tournament a laughing stock. | ||
