It was great to see desRow win against Apocalypse in Challenger or Major take the first series against Taeja. Puck/Neeb gave us exciting games and were very close to make it to RO8. If you want to see American player, you should watch the early rounds, there are plenty of them. Same things goes for WCS EU, I always have great time watching the qualifiers to challenger to see new players like MarineLord, Lilbow, or ABomb. The last stages are for the really best. WCS should favored regional players for the qualifiers, nothing more. | ||

You do realise the NBA is already at 20% with 92 rostered foreigners. The best record in the league is held by a team stacked with foreigners (Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, Splitter, Diaw, Mills, Bellinelli). It's just not a good analogy. | ||

Still makes more sense to the scene that run by americans (who? MLG is busy, NASL doesn't exist anymore) filled with americans only? To get the number of players there currently is, you'd have to go as far as asking complete no-name. Could be cool for them, but you'd get <2000 viewers and a really low level of play, and that counts a bit apparently. EU is in the same situation to some extent, as there are really few european players that are relevant in a korean heavy competition. I think it's up to the americans to develop their local scene, and thus help talents rise to the top locally, and then challenge the mighty Koreans. TB does that a bit with Shoutcraft I'd say, but it's far from enough. | ||

It's a joke, people did the same with Stephano a while ago, chanting "USA USA USA" when he was winning. It's partly based on Polt moving to the USA to study there. Also, he was known to have the best english amongst Korean (before moving there, as it improved subsequently). | ||

It's a long running joke on TL based on the fact that Polt is living and studying in the US. Also, there seems to be a thing where anyone doing good will be adopted by Americans, see Stephano. Even before that "Team USA!" at the global championship had a Canadian and a bunch of Europeans on it. | ||

WCS allows foreigners to showcase who they are and their skills in the early rounds, and if one of them advances to the part where it's the best of the best playing, then we know they're damned good! | ||

There is a soft region lock, meaning only a limited number of new Koreans can join forces with the 175 or so that were already there... ...and this is where the problem lies imo. Just limit the number of Koreans in the WCS AM and WCS EU to let's say 5 each. (To be fair, we can limit the number of Europeans and Americans to 5 for participating in WCS KR too.) Are there more interested in participating? Let there be a pre-qualification tournament, problem solved. All people from outside their own region will have to get 200 wins on the ladder and go through qualifiers and challenger league every single season. Let invaders earn their bread properly. This would ensure plenty of opportunity for WCS EU and AM to study, practice and play against the most fearsome invaders regularly, no matter where they are from. And for the fans of the invaders it will ensure additional matches to watch these players too, so everyone should be happy, no? One way or the other, there is a need to build the AM scene, and quite frankly, what we see now is not really doing that. | ||
