WCS S3 Finals - Ro16 Winner Interviews - MC, Trap, Oz, ???…

But if it ends in the Ro8, it will be meaningless since I need at least semi-finals to go to Blizzcon.

Any plans to perform a ceremony or something like that?

The fans would like it, so I kind of want to. But I don’t have that kind of personality… Still, it’s something I should think about.

Oz's interview is good. Region locking isn't the main issue with WCS at all. It's the fact it shrunk the scene and made it way less interesting. Sure part of it was just a natural decline in popularity but that isn't all of it. Really the only thing that was natural decline was losing IPL. Everything else was WCS being terrible. WCS had a large negative effect on SC2.

Why the hell did MLG just ditch SC2? The tournament right after HotS launch was like the second/third highest viewers SC2 had at an MLG and then SC2 suddenly gets abandonded. It makes no sense. They quit because WCS was terrible and it was forced on them and it ended up being way too much hassle and they were getting tons of crap (admittedly a lot of it was deserved but mostly it was the fault of WCS itself) for running it poorly.

Why did we end up with 3 GSLs and 1 OSL this year that had like 1/2 the prize pools of last years GSLs/OSL? This is not natural decline at all. We already knew for a fact that we were getting 5 GSLs and at least 1 OSL this year.... Then WCS forced their system on OGN/Gom. That's probably a huge part of why gom has branched out so much. They literally aren't allowed to spend their money on SC2 (money they had already promised the fans was going to SC2) because Blizzard wants WCS to be a certain way.

Korean players also should have incentives to play in Korea. Give WCS Korea double the prize pool and double the points and like half (if not more) of the Koreans playing in NA/EU go back to Korea immediately.

I go to TeamLiquid a lot. If there are guys who are flaming me on TL, I request for my fans to take care of them. I really like TL!

There’s nothing at all between me and VortiX. But there’s a lot of fans here, and SC2 is going through a rough patch if you want to call it that; as a player you have to give the fans things that are fun and entertaining in that kind of situation so I said some taunting things. I’m thankful that VortiX took it well, and I hope we can get along if we meet again. I don’t have any kind of bad feeling toward VortiX, he’s a player I like.
