No issues with Polt/Violet or US resident players getting invites, if anything the US players list seems weirder. Also not kicking a pretty much confirmed map hacker out was poor Because they are still much much better than NASL season 1. :> (i.e. we're used to much worse) | ||

Let's not forget that some of the strongest Koreans (Teaja, MC, ...), will only participate in the Challenger qualifier and Challenger division in Season 1, so will all the Koreans that will not make it in the premiere qualifier. So in Season 2 premiere division we will have the Top 8 of the premiere division season 1 (would not be the biggest surprise to be all koreans), as well as 24 players that qualifiy through the challenge division season 1 (could quite possibly have 20+ koreans). So it would be possible that premiere divison Season 2 might have something like 25+ koreans, maybe even all koreans... | ||

Will they all move to America or will they just drop out and stay in Korea? Offline matchs like Premier league #2 group stage are just 4-5 days in MLG studios. So they just need to drop out to NYC to play offline matches in a week. | ||

That may happen next year... or who knows when. | ||

Probably move back to Korea if they made it through the qualifiers so they dont turn into NA baddies. | ||

Is is because EU foreigners is that much better than NA foreigners? Or is it because no KR play in EU qualifiers And if that is the case, then why no KR choose to play in EU? | ||

I was referring to a future WCS when group stage 1 is played offline. It's going to become very cost ineffective to fly players from Korea to America 3-4 times a season. | ||

Less koreans, i would also argue worst in general, and the most important thing. lag between EU-Korea is not even close to NA-Korea. | ||

Most Americans don't have an issue with NA residents taking those spots. I don't hear people bitching about Polt or Violet. The whole 'build a scene' argument has some validity, if the players in question actually live in that region and integrate into it properly. | ||

Some of the KR players are on teams based in NA, so it will be easier for them to move there. Biggest factor is imho 1. | ||

Demuslim has lived in America for 1.5 years, played on NA ladder, and has applied for the necessary visas to emigrate to the U.S. That's the opposite of every Korean with the exception of Polt. No one would have a problem if the Koreans in question moved to NA and practiced on the NA ladder. Now we have a situation where no matter how hard youlay on your own ladder, you can't qualify to play in your own region. | ||
