And I'll watch those Yugioh vids for the first time soon. I always thought Slayers needed a good tombstone, I didn't know they had one. | ||

Yeah, I don't get why people keep saying this. Especially since in the current wcs system NA would probably also include SEA, CN, etc. Which is easily a large enough pool of players to make sure there are interesting and high-level games. My dream wcs 2015 would be residential region lock (so you either have to be currently living in the region or maybe just be a citizen of the region) and expand GSL to 64 or even 96 or 128 players or something, with compensation to match. With 3 or 4 wcs seasons a year there is surely enough time to get through that many players. Of course, money would be an issue. But hey, it's my dream so it can be unrealistic. | ||

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  .Let's be real, the NA scene was on the way to the bottom before WCS AM. Maybe it could have limped on longer, but it was clearly on the way out. What we have now is both entertaining and sustainable. But I see that you guys are both from EU, which had a different history than AM and most likely would have kept trucking along without Korean players. So I'll assume you guys are just remembering the glory days of NA when you say WCS AM was hurt by the influx of Koreans (seriously, Polt - Jaedong couldn't have happened anywhere else and I'm sure gave AM a huge shot in the arm). | ||

Because we can watch the best players play at any time in the day. And we get to see more of them, imagine GSL with all of today's top koreans. | ||

Most of the top Koreans play in GSL anyway, but regardless, the system was much better with the season finals. As long as the prize pool is similar in all 3 regions you'll eventually reach an even distribution of talent, which prevents the best players from playing each other apart from Blizzcon and weekend LANs, and a lot of top KesPA players barely even go to LANs. To be clear I'm not saying we should go back to region lock, just bring season finals back if you want to spread top players around the world. | ||

A fourth region in China/Taiwan would be good too. | ||

I guess the american players that are still present in the league are miles better than their counterparts from a few years ago. I remember the old times when HuK and co used to complain that practicing on NA was impossible. I guess those times are over. Great article. I'm really curious if there will ever be somebody outstanding enough to take mvp's place. | ||
