For a little bit of flavour, I feel the introduction to the tournament should be Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song  | ||

It depends, I don't really have any problems with WCS the way they let people in (esp. the fact that they don't care about nationality). Still, WCS NA don't do that much for the NA scene. People who are already well established got invited. Qualified players are all koreans. Then, if you wanted to try to step it up as a rising NA player, you had to beat mid-tier Korean (thing even established NA pros don't do regularly). So, it doesn't help to grow the scene at all... People already established are already in, new players who could cross the line between amateur and semi pro are left out since qualifying was quite out of reach. Then, it shouldn't give too much points, but a small amount would be great. | ||

I do get the whole growing the scene point, but if the NA WCS is open for everyone from anywhere, the point tournaments should be as well. Unless ofc the same thing is done in all the other WCS regions as well to give a small boost to "local" players. | ||

Sad that he's decided not to make a foreigner team with Axiom though, i believe that he's one of the few who could actually help his players to be on the level to compete with koreans. | ||
