Or are they locked out of it? My guess is that foreigners living in korea could play in the qualifiers if they wanted | ||

Anyway, great news for the KR scene, that's something we've wanted all year long when discussing WCS system problems. Good luck SPOTV, I hope your league will be successful ! | ||

I'm not a fan of winners format - that's why I'm not fan of pretty much every other team league (like Acer's TeamStory Cup would be a lot more interesting if one player couldn't carry the team). | ||

Yeah those are really fun. It was so awesome to watch sOs almost all-kill KHAN with just DT builds  oh sOs..But not to worry guys! I'm sure with SPL being extended to 10 months, they will add some all-kill rounds aswell! | ||

The only chance a foreigner would try their luck in a Korean tournament would be if they were allowed to do so while also competing in WCS NA/EU. Then again, if foreigners were allowed to do that, it would be wrong to not allow koreans to do the same. So basically nothing is different from last year, when it comes to the region lock thingy. I miss the time when foreigners would try their luck in GSL. It was the most hyped and most interesting thing in the sc2 scene. How many of us didn't stay up/go up early to watch Jinro, NaNiwa etc in the GSL? I wonder if WCS/blizzard will ever figure out how to bring that back. | ||

However, it doesn't say whether or not you are allowed to compete in both WCS EU/AM and also compete in GSL which is also another WCS event. Any information regarding this? Are you allowed to participate in both? Otherwise this is no different from last year.

I guarantee that you wouldn't be able to compete in both. Imagine if a player found a way to win two seasons at once. | ||

Yeah that's kind of my point... so the hope for a foreigner to play in Korea is still non-existant Blizzard really needs to figure out a way for that to happen, because that was what was most epic about sc2 a few years back | ||

Edit : from what I understand, those tournaments will take place parallely to WCS KR that will have a region lock. Is that right ? Or will GSL still play the role of WCS KR ? | ||
