I recorded a pretty long discussion with PiG about the skillgap between Koreans and Foreigners. We were talking about differences in infrastructures, problems of newer players to emerge within the scene, the huge discrepancy in terms of salary and support and a few other things. The whole thing is pretty good I feel but you need to bring some time when you watch it. It's about 40 minutes total: Have fun with the video, hope you enjoy it  | ||

The new system rewards skill and I think right now nobody would doubt that the Koreans are the best players. So they also deserve to have the success. But there are definitely some downsides to it. I actually did a video on that at the end of Season1 if you are interested: | ||

It's literally discrimination to not let persons of a certain nationality play in a qualifying tournament. Are you mad that Koreans are always on top? To have a tournament specifically set up to allow lower tier players to win is downright dumb and just shows obviously bias towards Korean players. | ||

Should people from the US be on Brazil's swim team for the Olympics? | ||

No probs, it is always tempting to post one's thoughts even though it doesn't fit the thread at hand Anyway Am I the only one always intimidated by Khaldor's muscles? They must be fueled by esports | ||

The complaints about Koreans being in WCS EU and AM isn't discrimination in the WCS Finals; the complaints are from the people who wanted a Starcraft Olympics ala last year's WCS. But yeah, we can't really complain about it anymore. WCS isn't the olympics anymore, so AM, EU, and KR are just "portals" to enter the tournament. | ||
