Care you will be called racist cause you dont want Korean in EU or AM scene. I would love to see more of EU or NA players. But anyway ppl are too attached to Koreans :/. We have them everywhere, but still not enough for some of the community. I hope a real EU and NA league will be created,

Great article though. As usual .

I will admit that it was fucking awesome to be in the GSL Qualifiers threads talking about all the foreigners who were playing, or watching Jinro vs Idra in the Ro8 of GSL, or watching Jinro get two Ro4s back to back, but those days are gone. If we were to not allow Koreans to play in WCS EU/NA then we would have foreigners vs foreigners all the time, reducing the quality of the games.

The whole Jonathan versus Greg thing had more to do with the fact that the game was still fresh. The bubble was going to eventually pop with your mlgs and everything else.

How can foreigner players can be confident with that kind of community? "You know we love you but youre terrible at this game so plz let korean make the show."

We have koreans at every tournaments possible even little ones. And youre right some of them are incredible to watch. But first not all koreans, and second I take as much pleasure to see a Mana vs Bunny as a MMA vs MC. They are all good! But no brood war days have made this community ellitist.

Give a chance to foreigners. They work as much as koreans. They deserve it!

It's what we dealt with during all those BW years? TeamLiquid thrived on the fact that there could be two communities. We had a good combo of both lmao. How else you think this community could live on back then!?!?!

Im not sure to undertsand what you say. So sorry if my answer is wrong.

its like you need to pay back something to koreans, cause they are good at this game. They have a lot of exposure in every major tounrament. I dont see why foreigner could not have 1, not 15, just 1 MAJOR tournament (meaning with a good cashprize, and exposure) for them to show us what they can do.
I will thx koreans everytime to make Esport getting so big by their skills, but they are not alone on this planet to enjoy this game or make it enjoyable to watch. (Nationwars, plz!)

Vortix has made it to the last 4 ro8’s, the only foreigner to accomplish this feat besides Lucifron.

Where do you get that from ?


I probably meant Welmu. But that still makes no sense since he only got 3.

Foreigners have had plenty of chances. It isn't a coincidence that Naniwa and Scarlett - both of whom went to Korea for extended amounts of time - rank among the best foreigners of all time and among the only ones to reliably beat Korean players. Some may work as hard, but that isn't the norm and the fact that you think your average Adonminus works as hard as someone like sOs tell me you might not know what you're talking about.

And it has been obvious in some foreigner tournaments with no-shows, forfeits, and insentient complaining that they aren't working as hard as the Koreans. Plus I don't buy the 'they work hard they deserve it' argument either. You deserve it when you beat everyone else and win - not because you worked hard.

"Plenty of chances" tell me when please, cause if we didnt had a stephano or nani or scarlett, SC2 would have even more dead. Cause of this 'We need koreans to make this game interesting".
And plz you compare sOs to adominus, that comparison :/. Proleague player with crazy team and environnement to pratice with the bests. Adominus a player who try to make a name in WCS EU in Cascade gaming . And Im sure he has not the same environnement to practice.
And now tell me that a mana/scarlett/Vortix dont work as hard as a MMA/MC/Stardust.
But yea Im the one who dont know what Im talking about.

I sincerely hope a Flash/Stork rivalry is in the making. I don't know with the KR article for this was written if it was prior to Flash going on an enormous tear or not but I feel like it was a missed storyline. The man who said it would take two years for him to dominate the game makes good on his promise. Finally getting two big name BW stars in the limelight of SC2 able to step overtop lesser players with seeming ease that they stepped on them in BW. No more Flash losing to No-Name B'ish Teamers. Hopefully with some renewed starpower SC2 can gain a bit more traction in KR that it desperately needs and, honestly, deserves.

Dreamhacks, ROGs, MLGs and IPLs (should probably mention that there were a bunch of online cups and invitationals available for foreign players up to at least 2012) were all virtually foreigner-exclusive until mid-2011, so we could start there. Then there are of course all of the WCS tournaments in 2012 that catered not only to foreigners but to foreigners from several different countries. Then there are the tournaments that various community figures have organized exclusively for foreigners (TotalBiscuit's Shoutcraft America comes to mind), but do you know what the problem was with those tournaments? Typically, they were plagued by walkovers, forfeits (some mid-series), disinterest and low interest. On the contrary, TB's Shoutcraft Invitational featured 8 of the world's best players and was the perhaps most successful online event of all time.

I could also compare Adonminus to hyvaa, Bunny, Sleep, Billowy, Hack, Pigbaby, Trend, Sacsri, Bravo, Hush or Hurricane. I would bet a month's worth of money (if I had any income to speak of...) that all of them work harder than Adonminus. This is not me bashing him, by the way, this is me simply stating the fact that even the Korean players that have struggled for years to make a dent in Korean tournaments on average practice harder and more than foreign players. You didn't say "the top 4 foreign players work as hard as mid-tier Koreans" (which I would also dispute), you simply made a sweeping statement claiming that foreigners, overall, work just as hard as Koreans. And that simply isn't true.

I would also be interested in your opinion on why the interest in WCS AM has been growing recently. As far as I can tell, there hasn't been a huge influx of foreign players, yet the league seems to finally be gaining popularity (despite being jokingly called WCS KR 2). I remain unconvinced that you know what you're talking about.

Still disagree with allowing Koreans in NA and EU WCS.

Way to kill off potential talent and local fanbase. Everything for a quick buck though, I suppose...

Look at the state of the Live Stream viewership... lol...


Care you will be called racist cause you dont want Korean in EU or AM scene. I would love to see more of EU or NA players. But anyway ppl are too attached to Koreans :/. We have them everywhere, but still not enough for some of the community. I hope a real EU and NA league will be created,

Great article though. As usual .


No I don't care.

Awesome article. and awesome thread too, sans the weird anti-korean whining. Some of the logic baffles.
