Two players in KR playing against eachother. Why is it bad that they should play on the server that they're both close to?
MLG can still make it NA server when its two people from different regions. But if they're both in the SAME region, why not?

KR vs NA = NA server (priority to NA) KR vs EU = NA server (or alternate between servers) NA vs EU = NA server (priority to NA) NA vs NA = NA server EU vs EU = EU server Flexibility, flexibility... | ||

I don't think it really matters, since soon enough you'll have to be living in the region to actually play there :X | ||

I mean, what the hell is the difference between NA and KR in a spectating perspective? Nothing. Oh MLG, you're like the cranky old grandmother who doesn't give you what you want for Christmas. Ever.

Online leagues, team leagues especially have always done kr vs kr if both players are in KR. My thoughts exactly. I want some good games between HerO and MajOr, not more of these sub-par-ass games. | ||

You can cry that they're "hurting esports" all you want, but these damn proxy entrants into WCS have to have "penalties" to encourage players to reside across the world. I don't want WCS Korea 1, 2, and 3, and I'd bet I'm not alone. | ||

I totally understand the players being upset and even people complaining about the quality of games etc etc but I really like how MLG is sticking to their guns and not just paying lip service to the few facts that make this tournament a NA tournament. | ||

They signed up for the region that they wanted, then they were seeded, IIRC. | ||

According to MajOr's tweet, he and HerO will have to play their WCS America matches on the NA server, despite the fact that they both reside in Korea. While that's probably technically correct if you're following the rules of the tournament to the letter, it's a remarkably inflexible decision. It degrades the WCS tournament by knowingly allowing the level of competition to be lowered, is a discourtesy to the players who want to be able to fully show the skills they have honed through hundreds of hours of practice, and is a disservice to the fans who are expecting the be shown the highest level of gameplay possible. When you consider that region switching is even built into the HotS client, then it's an even more confusing and perplexing decision. Hopefully both players have protested and have had the decision changed. It's WCS NA. It's for whoever is better at playing on the NA server. Maybe instead of complaining about playing WCS NA on the NA server, they could play WCS KR on the KR server. It's a deterrent, because it adds uncertainty to the game. I fully support even stronger deterrents against cross region play. Simile: It's like joining a Chinese debate team and then complaining that they don't debate in English. What? This is a terrible example lol. It's like having a debate between two Chinese debate teams but being forced to speak English** Kk fixed! | ||

Now tell me what's gained by forcing two players who live in KR to play against each other on NA. | ||
