1.Introduce some sort of high level commitment to keep low level koreans at bay such as 100% offline qualifiers like they announced in the last reddit ama. 2.Renounce the wcs na completly and put more money in the eu and kr scene.Not that many people will want to see low level koreans who do not even speak english playing in the North American qualifiers.wcs na will have the same viewership problem like last season. | ||

Since the qualifiers are exactly the same, the only difference is skill level and unfortunately Americans just aren't as good. To be fair, the AM qualifiers featured more Koreans as well as better Koreans. And it's not fair to blame just the "Americans" either, considering the SEA, Chinese and Taiwanese players got murdered all the same.  | ||

It is probably that less Koreans tried EU numerically and quality as well but there is no denying that the wall of lag is a significant factor. Hopefully we will see a foreigner come out of the NA qualifiers, but I strongly doubt it. Wall of skill | ||

The problem would be that you discourage a lot of up-and-coming players doing that, who might not have the financial means to attend a live event (even less if it's just a qualifier). edit: maybe not a lot of up-and-coming players, but more like all of them, since up-and-coming implies that they are not established yet, which makes it highely likely that they are not on a wealthy team. | ||

Well the wall of Kespa pros in WCS NA is pretty discouraging right now. I don't think a since player from NA, SEA, or China will make it through. Even having challenger league offline would do a lot to make the whole thing more local and improve the local competitive scene. | ||

They lost to players that they should take easily in offline events. Yes bitter, because you feel the need to point out obvious things. We all know about the lagg - so why are you posting? The reason: You are bitter. You feel the need to start a forum fight by belittling european players, instead of just saying: "Well done, winners!" (no matter what origin they might be) | ||

(Sorry I don't really know EU that well. It would make the respective WCS subsections much more interesting. With regards to EU, you'd ask around 300-400 players from from some 20+ countries (from Iceland to South Africa) to travel all the way to Germany out of their own pocket to play a single elimination qualifier where only the top two proceed? I'd also like the bus to pick me up outside my house and drop me off outside work. You're never going to get an offline qualifier with over 500 wannabes. It's a logistical nightmare and will be a complete money sink for both players and the host organisation.

Wish the same could be said about WCS NA! Agreed, players like Uzer and Bunny have gone from complete unknowns to players recognised and acknologed for the skill and achievements in the Premier league. As for America, well this is basically now Code A on location, it’s pretty damn silly. I’m almost certain WCS will have at least some form of reigion lock in 2014 (residency/temporary visa only perhaps, so players like DeMuslim, Polt, StarDust and Pro7ect could still compete in NA and EU). | ||
