LOL at Leenock.

They definitely have a point, but it's for the greater good imo.

It does suck for Koreans a great deal, but atleast they aren't missing out on anymore money than before. Players in Code A will still get money from participating in Code A, they just miss out on the chance for additional money that wasn't there before. This extra money should be seen as an incentive for players to try harder than ever to improve their play.

Don't act like an MC vs Incontrol smackdown wouldn't be fun.

Maybe Polt leaving TSL for America was for the better, regardless of whether he knew this was happening or not. All the events just worked out perfectly in his favor. Maybe Polt really is a fortune teller?

It would be funny if a Korean team relocated to NA or EU and dominated that WCS instead, assuming they all have equal prize pools it might be a worthy venture.

Yeah, Koreans tend to show up in higher numbers to US tournaments.

It makes absolutely no sense at all to stay in Korea if you're a foreigner. If rotting in Code B for the next 12 months if the 'good fight' to you then that's fine and I'm not a fan of either player but their decision is absurd.

You know, some good points are brought up. If Koreans cannot practically even compete in WCS in Korea, why would they not go to NA or EU? This may not be good for NA/EU players, if Koreans choose to compete in these instead of risking everything on some qualifiers.

You always here these stories about the Korean honor...but this just sounds like they all butthurt because they can't win more money then usual.
Sometimes I remember that there will be a day where herO and Maru retire. And I get sad

It's not like the Koreans HAVE to come to the west. They're just butthurt that they can't win free money in the WCS events. They can still have to the non-WCS events if they want. And even if they wanted to, most of them probably didn't have the money to come anyway. If Blizzard never announced this WCS stuff, 95% of the Koreans would still be playing in Korean tournaments anyway. They're just butthurt that can't play in our tournaments on a whim.


It punishes the Korean scene for being good while rewarding Americans who are pretty terrible in comparison with 5 slots out of a 16 slot tournament. A bit silly.

MC tackled that guy who stole his wallet ^_^

Loved Naniwa's comments along with the Korean pros. There is a lot going on here, I just want to be able to see my favorite Koreans compete in Korea. There's no greater battle ground then the holy land of Starcraft.

I see no problem with it. At the end of the day they want to become a better gamer and competing in the hardest market most certainly helps. It's their decision you don't have to agree with it, but if they feel like they can compete I say let them. More power to them!

They have fewer tournaments than they did last year because of this change.

Last year they had 5 seasons of GSL, 1 OSL, and 1 WCS. Now they have 3 seasons of GSL and 1 OSL.

His main complaint if you'd actually care to read the translation is that player are 'locked' into Korea by being in Code A/B this season (on the back of WOL play) even though they have no chance to win points and make the regional finals and weren't told in advance and given the option to drop out of Code A/B and play in NA/EU where they would have been able to win points or a spot in the regionals from the start.

For players in Code A/B then a third of the season is basically forfeit on the back of WOL play and with them not being given the option to play in another region.
