i dont get why everybody is excited, thats nothing new, foreign teams already played in proleague

the kespa teams in proleague deny their players to go to foreign events, thats why they can concentrate on proleague -> thats why they are good

a foreign team wouldnt/couldnt do that, none of the koreans and foreigners on foreign teams care about playing a huge amount of games in korea against hard competition with almost no chance of making it into the money ranks.

so they will always favour european and us tournaments - rightfully so -> cause progaming means you make a living from it.

so what it essentially means is you can choose

1. foreign team takes proleague seriously -> less foreign koreans and foreigners at foreign tournaments
2. no forein teams in proleague -> you have still a insanly good teamleague but also good tournaments

i like number 2

I'm not sure about foreign teams. These teams don't build their roster with a team league in mind, so you guys would have to be really careful in order to ensure high quality matches. Would foreign teams be able to practice as hard as Kespa teams? I don't know about that. I think if a team practices really hard to show us good matches and has a nice roster, then yeah maybe that would work out. I don't want to sound too cynical, but I can't help it.

Before players living abroad think about moving back to Korea, it is important to discuss what format WCS will be next year.

offline teamleague was a good idea as long as only one country really played the game ( BW days )

now its totally different, outside of korea is a lot more going on than in korea - so the idea to lock a team and its players down for an 8 month teamleague ist just not going to work.

Wow, that would definitely be more than awesome. I think a combination of Non-Korean based teams with Korean players, like TL, EG, Axiom would be awesome, aswell Chinese or, especially Taiwanese teams like Wayi or yoeFW. Seeing European teams would seem strange, but if it would be possible to a kind of KeSPA-team, which consists of some willing Europeans, it would be the best thing in the world.. but that does not seem realistic.

Foreigner all star team would be great! Have like the top 8-9 foreigners who want to train in Korea go
There and train and have a competitive environment. Obviously there would be issues with WCS regions though.

Not too sure. It seems like most international teams (with Korean and foreign players alike) mostly play outside of Korea (minus players like Innovation, Impact and Leenock). Not sure how it would work out. Axiom Acer seems like the only plausible option for Proleague, but would have to deal with players traveling a lot. Who knows.
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

I think this is a great idea.. but the only way it will make some sort of sense for the team to be competitive would be :

an all star team of players that can be constantly replaced if they want to leave Korea (making no fixed roster)

Hmm not sure if this is possible, you can do it but what foreigner team do we have that can compete with the current 8 6 kespa teams? I doubt that many teams can follow the current Proleague fixture and be succesful without sacrificing their individual league success. In addition this season were bo5's, what if it became bo7 next season (which I'd love btw), which team has the depth to let's say advance to round play-off's?

Not saying I don't like the idea tho, hope some team can make it

I'm really curious what the players reaction is, I mean do foreigners and foreign koreans want to go to korea and compete in SPL, or are the foreign tournaments and WCS points more relevant to them?

I am ok for opening PL to foreign team if :
- they choose the best teams
- they don't make stupid mix teams like 2 EG + 2 ACER + 2 TL, etc (don't get it sorry)

Closest i see of a foreign team in Proleague is for some showmatches inbetween Rounds, not actually as a participant team in the entire league.
