No one forced Major to sign up for WCS NA from Korea. Should pay the price for picking the weakest WCG region to get more money while benefiting from practicing against the superior Koreans.

Seems like people just want to find excuses to hate at this point. These are rules. Play in the Korean WCS if they want low latency...oh wait...

Seems pretty silly if they're both in agreement about which server to play on, especially since it doesn't benefit one player over the other. I mean, if it's a player in Korea playing a player in NA or something then of course it should be on NA server, but when both players are in Korea, it just inconveniences both players for really no reason.

I watch WCS on and off anyway, so there's no guarantee that I'll even watch these games. I do want WCS NA to played on the NA server though. Call me crazy.


You're crazy. You haven't said why you want them to play on the NA server. The only reason anyone's given is that there are the words 'North' and 'America' both in WCS North America and in North America server.

I'm neutral about this, they decided to play on WCS NA then it's very logic that the games needs to play on NA server, but on the other hands if both lives in Korea and since it's really easy to switch servers... I mean why not? Rules are like laws, some are very stupid and should not exist.

Gotta love zero tolerance rules. Everyone get's screwed by them eventually. If there are two people in the same region other than NA there should be zero reason why they can't play on that regions server for a better game quality for EVERYONE and hurts nobody. People in different regions would clearly still have to connect to the NA server so that neither gain an advantage or properly gain the NA advantage. Sucks for them and sucks for all of us.

by definition when a Code S Korean plays a foreigner not named Naniwa or Stephano the games will be sub par.

Suck it up or try for WCS Korea since he is going to be in Korea for the foreseeable future.

Everyone understands that once this series is over the player who wins will be playing on NA next round in what will be a cross server match right? This has literally no effect other than ensuring the best player wins, and the fans get the best game possible for this particular match. It's completely in a vacuum, it would be a rather silly decision to knowingly lower the potential of your games for no reason other than because your rule book didn't consider it beforehand.

No one has presented a reason for this to be on NA that makes the least bit of sense.

Play on NA. Doesn't mean he should complain when things aren't convenient for him because he lives in Korea.

This has so little to do with this rule its nuts. Who is watching WCS NA to see stellar gameplay? I really feel like you posted that tweet because of some hate against MLG. It's completely standard to make these guys play on NA. Otherwise it's not the WCS NA.

These guys made a decision for easy money, make sure they play at 2am and cross server.

Don't know why people are so angry. This is WCS NA. The games are played on the NA server to prioritize NA players. I can respect MLG sticking to their rules about playing on a single server.
And it's not like either hero or major will have an advantage. They'll ping the same amount.

Those reasons should be things that won't affect the quality of the games.

That's idiotic. What advantage is there to making them play on the NA server? None. All it will do is reduce the quality of the games.


It's their choice. Also, the rules. People complain about it not being complete region lock, and when they lock the region people play, people continue to complain.


having a rule set that is arbitrary in nature sets a bad precedent that MLG/WCS will sacrifice the quality of their tournament for no gain. this isnt some balance of pros and cons, or some high minded idea for unification or quality control. its being pissy for the sake of it.

MLG can't win.
If they allow KR server play, people will blame them for ruining the "NA WCS" for not being NA friendly etc etc.

I completely understand why MLG doesn't bother responding to most of these drama-esque complaints, unless they hit critical mass.


so the validity of arguments are about their popularity and not their merit? NA WCS is already not american enough to guarantee a single american in the ro16, so i dont think a single person views it as american friendly.

so what does that leave in the pro status quo box, admins cba?
