Blizzard: we had 3 seasons this year, starting in March (when Hots released), with season finals. Next year, you get 3 seasons, period. I don't want region lock to happen.. it will benefit foreigners in the sense they'll get deeper in tournaments and whatnot, but that's not going to fix the 10k viewership the WCS NA currently gets on the average day (THE AVERAGE day, don't come at me with playoff being at 30k, that's not what I'm referring to). I also don't want ALL the koreans to fight over gsl/osl.. there are way too many good players that a ro32 doesn't do them justice. I can visualize lots more retirements if a region lock happened | ||

The only one to make reference was Hero, who said it was a system that benefited him and not foreigners (which isn't the same as asking for a region lock). The Koreans mostly complained about reductions in prize pool and increasingly limited options within Korea. Again, not the same as a region lock (and it's not unreasonable to expect that prize pool inside Korea won't change much under a region lock, if anything the amount of money earned by Koreans will decrease overall). Hell, Hyun even said that he hope things don't change because it will screw over a bunch of Koreans. qxc's opinion on WCS was interesting and well thought out. Clever guy! My thoughts exactly. Overall a pretty interesting video. Gives a good impression of how a variety of different AM and KR pros feel about WCS. | ||

Not surprised to hear about that Skype incident - Blizzard no doubt wanting to continue living inside it's fantasy bubble that it can do no wrong and that WCS is perfect. Hopefully the bubble will pop before too much damage to the scene. | ||

 I like the idea to use ladder and that Oz wish there was more tournaments in Korea. | ||

Also we are not scared, we just want the easy money and remove the competition foreigner style . Don't want a region lock mostly because some Koreans I like would probably retire. Since I don't see more tournaments happening in Korea next year. Kespa just did to much damage, even if the ones they caused now are unwillingly and a result of their first stance when sc2 was released. | ||

#fuckslasher4trueEsportsJournalism. I loved Life's last line lol. On October 25 2013 15:17 gosublade wrote: Isnt the problem here that forigners just suck? The problem is an uneven playing field. Yes foreigners need to step it up, but that is not easily possible when Koreans have the best practice and training environment at their doorstep. While the EU and NA server are decent, it's child's play in comparison. Apart from the residency region lock idea, what about if Blizzard actually opens another ladder realm? It worked during the HotS beta, why not make it more competitive that way? I remember Grubby praising the great practice he got during Beta because he also got to play against all the good Koreans. I think that would make a huge impact for the better with relatively little efforts needed by Blizzard. | ||

I agree Getting into a GM ladder could let you connect to this international server, that'd be cool. | ||

Yeah, there should be a soft region lock like the ladder, but we shouldn't forget about the Koreans either. I hope Blizzard finds the best compromise for everyone! | ||

Well TBH I'd delete people from my skype who spam me with video interviews with ads too. Where is the transcript? edit: i understand creating transcripts requires more effort, and video ads generate more money - but if you really wanted to help that blizzard employee with player insight, you should not make them waste their time on your ads and videos and get them a text version. | ||
