Second idea accomplishes nothing much, you could only "double tip" OSL + GSL unless online persists. Effectively it would be just WCS, but WCS-KR having more prize pool, points & games Allowing Koreans to play in both OSL and GSL is really half of what I'm trying to accomplish with this system. Koreans want to play in EU and NA because the KR region is stacked. They would have much greater potential for cash and championship spots by playing in EU/NA. I would make it harder for them to play in EU/NA, but make up for it by giving them greater opportunity in Korea. It would also leave opportunities for EU and NA players that want to stay in Korea, which will still be the best place to train. The Korean scene deserves more opportunity for cash and qualifying spots because they have the history and more top players. My system would add protection, but soften the blow to Koreans. | ||

Yeah, we love those players. We love the MMA's and MPV's and Taeja's and MC's and Nestea's, etc. But let's not get all panicky. I don't see how this is diluting Code S. It's simply filtering the wheat from the chaff. | ||

It's a good thing for EG as your korean players have way higher chances qualifying in NA than in KR, doesn't mean its good for EU and NA in general though. If the leagues were actually modeled after the GSL (that means entirely offline), then yes it would be very good for NA and EU and nobody would complain about Koreans moving to NA/EU longterm to participate there. But the way it is, NA and EU players won't benefit at all from it, there will be no magic surge to practice infrastructure and partners in those regions, it will stay all in KR. | ||

For now...but if these koreans stay in NA with no team house, no coach, no practice partners, and no strict schedule they wont be as good as they are now for long. They are giving up everything they have that makes them better than NA for a chance at a check at the end of the year. Next year they if they all decide to stay in NA for another 365 days they might regret it if they don't get their shit shipped over. | ||

This creates more order into things with all organizations working as one. but the scheduling issues..etc. could be resolved if the tournament holders worked together. It just doesn't need to be one large tournament. | ||

Yeah i fully agree this. But didnt Blizzard say that the want to increase the rate of offline games? I guess we will have to wait. | ||
