Better opportunities/life in the USA? lol


Certainly a less competitive job market, doubt it would be a better life though

How do they expect NA to eventually reap the benefits of Koreans playing in the region? The Koreans still live in Korea and will practice and refine their strats with other Koreans.

Polt's already dating an American who works in e-sports.

WCS is quickly transforming into quite the joke. Wtf is with all of these Koreans trying to qualify from WCS NA and WCS Eu, they might as well have just had 3x the WCS KR qualifiers and saved everyone the trouble of moving their teams halfway across the world.

REASONABLE REGION LOCKING PLEASE!
For Korean players, like Polt, that actually live in NA don't make him play KR because he's Korean but let's be reasonable here . Please don't announce a tournament which starts a mere few days after the announcement and then have all this incomplete information. It would have been better imo to delay the announcement till next season of WCS perhaps and have a shorter WCS season than usual this year.
just so much ...
sigh...

NA champ will be some guy on an NA team. There's only 1 player playing in NA who is on a Korean team and that's Nestea.

Blizzard has said that the region locking for season 2 will be much stricter. I guess we just have to wait and find out.

Fixed that for you. Except Nestea, every one of the Koreans in NA are on foreign teams.

Actually, Azubu, IM, Liquid, Axiom, and maybe CMStorm (personal sponsorship, not really a team) are all non-NA teams.

wait a second does this mean OGN could technically revive OSL as the ultimate most badass premier tournament not viewed with any links to WCS?

Why region-lock Koreans though? Boo hoo for the American players seems to be the general sentiment here.

It appears to be forgotten that Koreans on the whole will struggle to support themselves within their own scene. I mean what tournaments are there there? The GSLs, OSL, Proleague for the Kespa players and what, the Korean weeklies? That's hardly enough for unsalaried players to make any kind of living.

MLG was already pretty much de-facto Korean, paying for their flights. That is such a horrendous waste of cash, when they may as well have held an MLG event IN Korea at least once, would have been interesting.

Actually, Azubu, IM, Liquid, Axiom, and maybe CMStorm are all non-NA teams.

I'm sorry, you're right about Azubu, and CMStorm is debatable because they're a branch of a multi-national company that also has a US headquarters but you're wrong about the rest.

Liquid's main office is in NYC as far as I know, that makes them a US team. Axiom is in fact a US team, if you disagree you can listen to TB's latest monologue on why they picked NA for their players.

Even with Azubu and CMStorm, that would make 3 players out of 32 in the premiere division, and with no guarantee that they'll be able to qualify or even if they're invited, stay there in the first place. They could drop down if they lose. The rest are all players on NA teams, including one player from the vehemently anti-Korean Root.
