They are going to give out the exact same number of points, just like every other regional sport in creation. | ||

GSL just got screwed over by forcing players to start from the bottom. In EU a Visa got at least: ForGG Jakji Stardust Sacsri MMA Patience Revenge Golden First Yoda Hyun MC Maybe Taeja In USA a visa will have: Polt Violet JaeDong Balloon Maybe Bomber Maybe others i dont remember I dont think anybody of the mentionet will have a perminent residential right, Green Card in USA, for example Blue Card / "Dauerhaftes Aufenthaltsrecht" in Germany | ||

Then as I said, it was already bad and now they've made it WORSE. So what we're gonna see is a whole bunch of WCS NA and EU koreans who can't compete anymore in Korea retire because there's so few tournaments going on there, and the skill gap widen between the Koreans and foreigners because now the foreigners don't have to try as hard to win the biggest tournament outside of Korea. This is actually the WORSE thing they could have done. | ||

I doubt its, but I am sure it will be debated endlessly in this thread over and over about who this will be the death of SC2 and the Korean scene forever. | ||

You speak with a great deal of authority and confidence about things that have yet to be released publicly. You have an inside source? | ||

I feel a little sorry for Copa America though, because now their niche is mostly gone, and they were the main tournament I followed in the past year. | ||
