From my point of view there are enough tournaments. Although i am a bit dissapointed because of invitionals for WCS. Seeing players like Idra,Stephano or Forgg fight their ways through online qualifier. Wow...i would pay a lot for that!!! If you want to watch the best Koreans play each other watch the GSL, GSTL, proleague or any other Korean tournament. If you want to watch Koreans playing against foreigners watch dreamhack, MLG, NASL, iron squid or any other big foreigner tournament. The whole point of having a regional tournament is to be able to watch the players from that region compete. If it was just going to be like this why even have a regional tournament? We already had tournaments where we could watch these players face each other. The whole point of a regional tournament is to see players from your own region compete and have a big tournament where they all meet each other. As for the whole if you want a US only tourney run it yourself, what a childish and selfish attitude. You can criticize or give ideas for how the tournament should be run without having to start one yourself. Edit: If fairness is the issue they should have split the prizes and seeds better. The Korean tournament should have more prize money and spots in the end of year tournament (at least to start with). | ||

If you're referring to NA then no it doesn't. Those players will fly in for the finals and win all the prize money but they aren't actually playing in and training with NA players. We already had tournaments to watch players like that face foreigners and if you read my post you would notice i mentioned that. NASL, MLG, dreamhack, iron squid etc so why even bother with a regional tournament? The format used last year wasn't perfect but it was far better than what we have now. | ||

You forgot an important option: If you want to watch good Starcraft, watch good Starcraft that is on at the moment. And that´s the Korean GSL and PL, because they are the only ones who provide regular, well produced content.

There has been a German league since forever, only German players, as local as you can get, but few people actually care. | ||

No, you couldnt watch foreigners vs koreans since there is no proper live league, only weekend events and casts from replay.

Where did blizzard say that the aim of this new system is to gather up bunch of people from different countries and let them wave their flags around awkwardly. The point is to have a proper league system in every region so every progamer would not have to fly to korea ( and risk not ever getting into code A ). The point is to provide high quality live starcraft in your timezone.

"Run it yourself" is actually a solid advice - to run a US-only tournament you dont need blizzard funds. EU seem to have quite a bit of regional stuff, just look at http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Major_Tournaments and http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Minor_Tournaments - if the market for US/NA only tournament is there, then someone will do it. Now to create something like WCS in NA/EU would be quite impossible without blizzard - so its wiser to let the big money ( blizzard ) take care of the big things. And leave the region-exclusive stuff to smaller local organizations and WCG. | ||

You're responding to individual posters who are obviously in no position to do such a thing. At this point it's too late for blizzard to actually region lock the tournament so i won't even bother wasting my breath. At the very least if the purpose of this WCS is just to have a GSL in every region (well as long as think Europe/Korea/NA = the world) then they should at least try and make them all live tournaments. If the qualifiers and code A/code S were actually in a studio i wouldn't be complaining at all. That way you would effectively have to live in the region to compete instead of this unfairly only applying to one region. That would do far more for the current scene than this current layout (it may actually encourage people to start proper team houses outside of Korea). | ||

Not to knock them but I can't see how they are more deserving of an invite. Demuslim was considered an EU player since he played in WCS EU last year and is still a UK citizen AFAIK. Of the invited players 16 were from the Americas and 8 were from other regions. | ||

Don't want it and leave us alone, seriously. No we should not see fucking QXC, NonY or Fitze represent America or for that matter the region NA they chose in a high profile 250 000$ tournament. No one wants to see another Ro32 MLG 3-0 sweep by Koreans. If there are Americans worthy of getting that spot, they will get their spot and they will not lose horribly. Your totally wrong Naruto! I care about Soke against Stephano, DeMuslim against Vortix or Hasu against Naama, HuK against QxC etc. i DONT care about Byun against Keen or Alive against Miya - and im NOT alone! And YES, I WANT to see real NA Players compete in MLG Ro32. If you where right, the soccer WM 2014 has to be hole Europe + Brazil, Argentina and 2 or 3 other SA Nations. But this is obviously NOT a WM. Most peolpe understand that. We LIKE to see New Zealand, Japan and African Nations against the big ones. Its the spirit of the hole thing. Not EVERY game, sure, but it belongs together. Blaming NA-Players for not being able to keep up with Top-Koreans is stupid enough and you should know that. Same as if you let the Jamacian bobsled team compete with the swiss bobseld team and then laugh about Jamaica for loosing... its...ahhh...unintelligent... Korea: Money enough to be 10 hours a day in front of the screen Best coaches Best training plans Best pratice partners Support by Analysts and other team-stuff Some foreigners have to earn money to play their bills beside playin, no or unexpirienced coaches, no 10-years-approved-training plan, less an weaker training-partners, no support.... Who will win? Even big teams like EG have to search for KOREAN coaches to make their players better, and now think about clarity gaming, complexity, quantic! Do they have coach park? Why do their players loose against top-Koreans? | ||

He played in WCS Korea too last year I think. Yet he's seeded into WCS NA. Ya I didn't know DeMuslim was living in USA until recently, but MLG should've known right? Even if they didn't, they should've fixed the seeding and given him a seed. He's the best foreigner on NA ladder after all. | ||
