He discusses it a bit with HuK on twitter. Don't know how to link the whole conversation. edit: Stardust has deleted all his tweets about this. Maybe there's something in the works he's not supposed to reveal? | ||

Oh, I know it's bait, but sometimes I just can't leave stupidity of that level alone. | ||

Bringing in an all star team of foreigners from various teams would seem to be a smarter move to increase interest across the world. That coupled with some sort of backing by pro league to make housing them comfortably while there and getting around Korea could work. This would both increase the possibility for the foreign players to be competitive, give them other foreigners to spend time with to decrease isolation, and make it more justifiable to the teams. The question would be if pro league thinks heavily supporting something such as this would be enough of a financial gain to justify the financial cost. I think if possible to test run it would be worth the experiment for at least one season. Edit: Also finding ways to allow foreign players sponsors to still be involved could be a smart way to attract more foreign sponsors to pro league, if there was foreign players to help promote the brands across the world. Such a venture could be a huge step forward for Pro League or an absolute blunder if not done correctly. | ||

Just convincing any teams to commit would be tough, especially as a lot of the top koreans on foreign teams left Kespa to avoid the scheduling constrictions of proleague to attend foreign tournaments. | ||

and certainly ogn is allowing foreign participation in LoL, which I don't quite know the organization of OGN Champions with kespa (I know teams joined kespa but don't know the organization of champions/korea circuit tournament itself) but that has had foreign teams in the past and I think even is inviting a chinese team. as many others have said in the thread that yeah, sure, if the barrier for getting a foreign team into proleague was | ||

Also, for everyone that keeps bringing up EG-TL don't forget that they went 3-4 in every single round but one, which isn't dominant but certainly competitive. People remember the season as a failure because everyone expected them to be the top team because all the other teams had only just started playing SC2 full-time. An all star team in 2015 would be much stronger than EG-TL -- the big question is who would coach them. | ||

I think if any kind of foreigner has a chance of competing with Korea in the right environment, it's the Chinese. It would be good to see the Chinese teams get some exposure, and if there is any league that can whip some low tier players into shape it is PL. Would be a huge boost for the Chinese scene | ||

AxiomAcer would be awesome if TB can find a way to get a good sponsor that won't lock the whole team down in KR and have good foreign coverage which could be difficult. Outside of Samsung (already have a team), LG (Who are probably a massive no-go after the fiasco with IM) Hyundai and Daewoo I can't think of many KR companies who are on the global markets let alone one who'd be willing to sponsor an SC2 team, that tournament wise doesn't have much presence in Korea. If KeSPA and TB can find something that works though then that'd be awesome. As for the teamless players, the old MVP guys apparently didn't like playing in PL that much. I don't think the GEM guys will want to lock themselves to KR for a majority of the year, makes it harder for them to farm events for WCS points. StarDust has an interesting idea with combining teams to make a "foreign" all-star team, if he can get players like JD, Pigbaby, Jjakji, Sacsri, SuperNova, Journey etc you'd have a pretty decent team on your hands. | ||

Let's assume for a moment that Kespa would partner up with a few organizers in Europe/America and e.g. European teams could play from Cologne. Good? Bad? | ||
