Unless you are a absolute top Korean playing with the KR-EU lag puts at a signficant chance to lose against the better Europeans. And even the top Koreans might get in trouble if they play online. I wonder how many / if any of the koreans actually move to EU permanently ( i know ForGG is already here ) | ||

The better way to get non-Koreans to win tournaments is to establish a continously running tournament structure where they can meet good players and get better. This does that. | ||

So now they actually have to play better players to win something... Oh no! I'm sorry but I'm having a real hard time sympathizing with all this entitlement coming out of the foreign scene right now. | ||

i was thinking about this last night and realized i couldn't even come up with 24 NA pros so i thought they pretty much had to invite some Koreans straight to Code S NA in order to not make their competition look ridiculous | ||

If the entire WCS finals is Korean only but you have people like Mvp, Sun, Life, Bogus, FlaSh, DongRaeGu, PartinG etc playing, I'm sure there would be a shit ton of viewers. So yea, no. | ||

This does that. I don't think it works quite like that. I doubt if I took a HS Basketball team and put them up against the Miami Heat, they'd come out a better team. They'd come out a team that just got shit on by a bunch of better players. It's not like they're going to practice against them. They're just going to get shit on and become demoralized. | ||

i thought the point of this tournament was to have region locked regions where each area could have their own tournament but the best players in the world would still be able to win the season finales and final tournament. | ||

Oh I do realize that. I also realize it was the first proper HotS event and every1 wanted to see the game regardless of who was playing. By the time the WCS finals will be held that won't be the same cause tactics are most likely gonna be figured out by that time again. When that happens it's pretty much up to blizzard how popular the game will be, if it ends up being an insanely boring metagame like it was in WoL the exact same thing will happen. But let's hope they learned. | ||
