Because non-Korean teams are most definitely semi-dedicated to playing in SPL with their concentration on travel and whatnot. Thats the only issue I have with foreign teams (and partnership also) | ||

Why would a sponsor from Europe or America be interested in paying for an entire team to travel to another land where they have much less marketing and growth potential, and having those same players not competing in tournaments where they can show their brands to consumers who have easier access to their products. | ||

If it was open to any team with the resources to apply then I think the format would have to change. Maybe eliminating the bottom two teams each month or something like that. I don't think the quality of competition would decrease. It didn't when EGTL played. Sure EGTL got beat up pretty bad, but they put up a fight enough times, and regardless of how EGTL did every team was playing their best no matter what it seemed regardless of who they were playing. | ||

Even the "foreign" Koreans might not be able to stop the might of these faceless KeSPA giants. The recent KeSPA cup should give us a pretty good idea: foreign fan favs like TaeJa, Jaedong, Polt, HerO and HyuN fell early and fell hard. TaeJa's 0-2 loss to Action, Jaedong's 0-2 loss to DeParture, Polt's 0-2 loss to Trust are particularly alarming, as these are often considered some of the best foreign Koreans and aces of their respective teams, and all 3 lost 0-2 to bench players on KeSPA teams. Whether that was due to lag or form issues, we don't know, but surely this isn't a good sign. Even if an international all-star team is formed, there is this huge issue with organization and coaching. Proleague is heavily about preparation. Just by having a bunch of really good players isn't enough (@SKT1 from 2013 season). With the foreign players coming and going, leaving and going back to Korea for WCS and what not, I really can't see an all star team do well. What I think might be viable, is work with StarTale, which is sort of one of a kind now: not belonging to KeSPA but a Korean team from head to toe. It has some pretty good players left, like Curious and Life. I know they're short on funds, but if KeSPA can help with securing some good loans and alliances (Acer comes to mind, INnoVation is playing in GSL anyway), this could be the beginning of something great. | ||

Jaedong has to be included. Viewership will instantly increase. Other good choices: Taeja, Snute, HerO Play Starbow!!! | ||
