(and of course also one big&glorious team league on SpoTV) Btw very happy for more Blizzard's contribute in KR scene. This is more like 1 big tournament with slightly less prize money and 1 normal tournament with high prestige and prize money than 2 normal tournaments. | ||

Foreigners will be much better off in WCS, for WCS AM and EU. Most foreigners don't deserve to go to Blizzcon anyway. It might not be as bad as you think since with more opportunities in KR, less KR players will travel. Proleague will be going on too, and the non Proleague KR teams(other than axiom) are all dead now. | ||

This helps even it up a little for the koreans who can't get out of korea much. And hopefully kespa teams learn from the fact that so many koreans are going to foreign teams and try and send there players around more. | ||

Yes, you are right, what I meant was that I prefer that they have focused their energies on one tournament and make it the most prestigious possible.

And this now make me think about this "split" on individual leagues. Gap beetwen 1st and 2nd place was too big then, probably, this is the right decision.  EDIT: Also more WCS Points in Korea sounds good and fair, they deserve them. | ||

Bear in mind that we don't know how many points these tournaments are getting. I like this solution a lot, personally. Adding more tournaments to the scene to create in Korea a scene filled in peripheral tournaments similar to overseas is the best solution to guarantee a fair distribution of points (adding more points to the GSL as people suggested before is by far an inferior solution). The fact that foreigners won't be better off isn't a bad thing. Region-lock will allow the foreign scene to develop hopefully, and whether they do better in WCS depends on them. | ||

They're not decreasing the number of the tournaments going on outside of korea. It's just more fair to those extremely skilled players who never left korea (think Rain) | ||

In terms of production it will be like Kespa cup since the same people are running this that did kespa cup, in terms of length of season it probably won't last as long as OSL/GSL normally do since it's only 16 players. They might stretch out qualifiers and broadcast them or something to increase season length, or just show a few matches a week. | ||

I disagree, I personally think it sucks that all the players at Blizzcon are from the same country when most of the audience is not from that country. It would be just like if the World Cup was all teams from EU and South America cuz they are the best. Well there's more to it than that IMO. | ||

Just because you want to see them there doesn't mean they deserve to go. Blizzcon is for the most skilled players, It's not a form of WCG. | ||
