Cool, so a ton of mid tier Koreans probably retire and a ton of mid tier foreigners probably active again.

Dont know what that means for NA, but i hope that not all Koreans who live currently in Eu have to leave. They brought a lot to the european scene and you could see gap between the top europeans and Koreans closing.

A lot of the Koreans in EU will get to stay considering a lot of the Koreans in EU are living there and have visas. Some NA Koreans are likely going to be able to get visas on top of those that already have them (viOLet/Polt) such as Bomber/Revival/ maybe JD/maybe HerO and Check/Leenock/San might be able to go through Taiwan we don't know

Like I said as Korean StarCraft fan this doesn't affect me much, but the fact that current Ro8 GSL players have to go through Code A or even qualifiers is abysmal.

Still, 90% of people saying "koreans or I'm out" don't have the game knowledge to appreciate half of what the foreigners put into their game. BUT, they've heard these top foreigners talk about the skill differential with the koreans, and that obviously makes NA and EU starcraft not even worth watching, right ?

This is the best possible solution.

Now if prize money gets adapted to this change its literally perfect.
Why is there so much discussion about it going on?


Because clearly your conclusion is not agreed upon by everyone.


But why?
Getting a work visa is not that hard and isn't it obvious that players that play their qualifiers in Korea and then only fly to NA/EU for the Ro16+ is a stupid system?


Well, It'd be even more stupid to basically kill the Korean scene by forcing ALL the Koreans to play in Korea. During Proleague most Koreans won't go abroad too often, only 32 players will be in Code S most likely, 3 Code S per season... I don't think it's a fair format.
Koreans will have a harder time qualifying for Code A than players in WCS NA will have to win the premier league.

"Kill the Korean scene by forcing ALL koreans to play in korea"?

You obviously haven't even read the post.

1) Koreans can play whereever they want as long as they reside there. Thats the whole point of "regional" tournaments.
2) So we are "killing" the korean scene by foring them to abide the rules that all other players from other regions have to follow? Like others have pointed out earlier in this thread GSL forces you to stay in korea for the whole tournament if you want to compete in it. Effectively "forcing" foreigners to play in their countries, sad for the koreans that they can't just take a plane to AM and steal all that regions price money in two weeks and then just fly home anymore.

Its a very fair format and it is the very point behind actually having a regional system, AM has money invested in it. Why should korea just steal it away, let them play in their region, not AMs fault that korea doesn't invest in their ówn scene.


>Steal..........................................................








They played and won a fair fight if the NA players are complete garbage to lose for them is their fault.

My first reaction was, "Yay, we'll finally get to see Taeja in GSL again and all the haters will have to shut up".

Then I realized he'd probably be retired by then. Now I'm sad.

I guess time will tell whether this is a good change or not. People have been asking for this ever since the WCS system began. One one hand, foreigners will get more exposure, and have more chances to prove themselves in their respective regions. On the other hand, there's no denying foreigners have become a lot more competitive over the last year due to getting to practice against migrant Koreans, and this change might set them back in that regard.

I will watch NA and EU WCS I think its exciting anyway, even if isn't the "cream of the crop". I also think that maybe it isn't the most important thing that every region is equal in skill at any given moment, that is rarely the case in sports.


So you basically don't care that foreigners are bad. Which makes you a minority? Foreigners themselves say they want to play better, to play on par with Koreans. Koreigners helped with just that.

This is just terrible from Blizzard, as usual.


They are doing their best to the game not fun at all even to watch...

Dude they are really hardworkers.

The problem with this news is that everything depends on prize money and points distribution. It's not good for the Korean scene if there are just three tournaments with equal prize money as the wcs am charity-for-polt tournament, but if there are like six tournaments with more money with better distribution then it's great.
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.
