It seems like a lot of people here are in favor of anything that discourages non-NA residents from playing WCS NA. But the thing is, the enforcement of this particular rule in this particular case is SO bad that it is immune to that argument. This isn't the proper way to do that. Let's get the best games we can out of these players. Not just anything, just sensible rules. By all means, people from Antarctica to Mongolia can enter whatever tournament they want, but if you're not even going to host the games on NA, what's the point of calling it WCS NA? Especially in 2-3 seasons when half of EU and NA become Korean. | ||

I can only argue that rules are rules, and for SC2 and WCS to remain credible, rules have to be followed. If they want to be credible, they'd accommodate as many players as possible. If they want to be seen as a "great" tournament, then allowing things like this would be in their best interest. This situation is a lose-lose-lose-lose, I'm afraid... | ||

I could understand an Issue if Major was in NA and HerO was in KR. But they are still on even footing, just latent even footing. | ||

I think it's a pretty extreme stretch to suggest that the tournament's credibility would be hurt by letting two players who live in Korea play a bo3 on the Korean server. I'd say the current situation is decidedly worse for them. On May 01 2013 12:10 aksfjh wrote: Not just anything, just sensible rules.

I can think of some reasons - The tournament is being run by an NA-based organization - Every game that involves an NA resident would still be played on NA - The last rounds will be played offline in NA Really, I would have to say that KR vs KR games being played on the NA server would be pretty low on my list of reasons to call the tournament WCS NA | ||

We can't have a full blown drama fest every time an admin has to enforce a rule that may need a second look. Or if matches have already been played on other players in the same situation who didn't also happen to be members Team Liquid. | ||

Especially in 2-3 seasons when half of EU and NA become Korean. It's a technicality. I don't give a shit that the geographical location of the game server doesn't match up with the name of the tournament. It's extremely straightforward and obvious that the server that does its job the best should be the one used. I don't know how you can think symbolism is so much more important than a significant difference in latency. You anti-competition types that somehow got interested in professional SC2 are really stretching it with this kind of shit. | ||

I'd say the current situation is decidedly worse for them. It's a matter of precedence. When we move to a more Korean populated tournament, whether it's next round or 3 WCS regionals from now, there needs to be some distinction that each region is actually based in that region. | ||
