If they reschedule for EG-TL, they might have to start recheduling for MVP, LG-IM and Axiom-Acer players ( possible GSTL conflict ). The whole WCS was designed to eliminate the need of such rescheduling - if some players choosed a region where they cant be due to commitment in other region - then its their fault. | ||

These players can afford to practice 10 hours a day in team houses where they don't need to worry about paying bills or even cooking food or cleaning because they have a maid that does it. If you try to play 10 hours a day in NA you can't because NA doesn't have the infrastructure that Korea has, you don't have a team backing you or a job for money you're gonna starve trying to keep up with the Koreans that are farming NA for money. I think your idea is great that the people who can't keep up in the scene should just retire and people that can't break through because they have zero opportunities to shine and have to play against players that can practice 10 hours a day without worrying about anything else. Instead of growing the NA scene we're just gonna slowly see it die out, sure there will be a few pros left that have the teams so they can practice but no one else is going to make it. Ok, let's say WCS wasn't announced and Blizzard did nothing to change the status quo. What then? Oh right, and I'm going to quote you: "Instead of growing the NA scene we're just gonna slowly see it die out, sure there will be a few pros left that have the teams so they can practice but no one else is going to make it." Long run Long term Ostensibly bad Eventually good "How the fuck are people that aren't pro in NA supposed to beat these players ? These players can afford to practice 10 hours a day in team houses where they don't need to worry about paying bills or even cooking food or cleaning because they have a maid that does it." - Blizzard wants to make this a reality. To expect that it will happen in 5 months? Please, have realistic expectations. I don't want to explain something I've already written in this thread so I kindly ask you, for my sake, to read my earlier post: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=407158¤tpage=56#1113 | ||

Those are the only two of the top of my head, but other players may surprise us when they know who to prepare for. Isn't Demuslim British? Says so on Liquipedia... Not NA. | ||

What if his sponsors/teams asked him to do so? I'm not sure you want to be questioning the competitive spirit and drive of JaeDong. | ||

I think Demuslim picked the Euro region last year. See, this year, he's one of us. NA. Play your cards right and Demuslim might be reppin w/e region you're from next season. | ||

Anyway, as far as I can tell, nothing prevents the creation of tournaments and leagues on top of the Blizzard one. Maybe we'll see EU and NA locked tournaments | ||

And no this is not their first wcs season. Its their second one and it seems that they forgot anything about it, or fired the guy who was responsible for the planning of last years event, because i cant believe the same person would do such a shitty job after doing a very sucessfull season 1. I wont even go into the tournament format itself, but not beeing able to present a finished tournament format with all the information on the day of the annoucement is amateurish and not giving the players and teams the information they require to make good decisions, that could influence their success for a long time period is retarded. Blizzard starts to make even KESPA look good in comparison, which is a joke. | ||

I enjoy dedicating a weekend to watching MLG but I also enjoy sitting down for a few hours and watching the GSL knowing that I can count on my fingers the amount of top level players that aren't either in it or trying to get in it. Now I cant do that because a massive chunk of the talent has been cut out and the games will suffer as a result. You exaggerate so much though. A massive chunk? GSL is still far and away the most stacked tournament. So far it's like all of 5 people leaving code A and 3 in code S that are confirmed to be moving over. Most of the Koreans changing regions aren't even in code A right now. I can't imagine this actually ruining GSL for you. | ||

It's not your fault when your forced to choose a region without knowing any details about when it's played nor how the prize money will be distributed. | ||
