Maybe ForGG can have an athlete visa for Season 2 ?
In France ? Good luck with that.

Honestly, I feel like with cases like ForGG Blizzard could solve it by adding a clause of (or having at least lived x amount of time in certain region). It would prevent the people that just fly over from Korea to participate in WCS but would allow people that really added to the scene in the NA/EU region.
That's what I was hoping for too. It's not like San who never lived more than 3 consecutive days in Europe. ForGG is in Europe since June 2012, StarDust since June 2013...

That's really unexpected. Unifying WCS AM and EU is not an inherently bad idea, but with only 32 players in Premier, the depth of the scene will really suffer. I hope Blizzard have more up there sleeve to remedy that.
I also dislike how the qualifiers are organized, tightly restricting the regional representation. I would have liked having a few (maybe 2-4) wild card slots where people from all the (non-KR) regions could participate. It would help offset the difference between the perceived strength of a region and their actual strength.

this makes me sick and it is a good reason to leave the SC2 scene. Koreans are getting punished for their dedication and discipline for the game and you guys are celebrating it. There were no handicaps for the foreigners, and still they were not able to compete with the Koreans.
I would rather watch a "high level" match between Hyun and MC than a noobgame between Mana and Huk, any day.
Such a desperate move. The last nail in the coffin.
Yeah... if you leave the SC2 scene, i'm sure no one will miss you. You realize that what you are saying doesn't make any senses ? Did you read ? Do you know how the Korean scene is gonna be next year ? Just read the lastest news again please.

I think it's ok that most Koreans are going back to their region now with the amount of events they will have. But I am glad Polt/Violet do have an athlete visa so there is a final boss to beat so foreigner's can't be content with being the best foreigner if they want to win  .

From reddit, regarding Forgg's situation :
"His manager told him about "Blizzard and ESL discussing new rules" 2 weeks ago. But at that point they were still discussing so nothing was even decided yet.
Once he asked ESL staff he was told that they couldn't say anything and it would be announced soon. "
So looks like forgg has 3 months to get his working visas ^^... gl mate lol

So watch the Korean scene. They have a lot more tournaments now. Ofc Huyn and MC might not make, but at least you will be watching "high level" games.

Violet and Polt are the only two to my knowledge.

Here we go.
Fuck.
T_T
I thought ForGG had a "Carte de Séjour' (Residence Card) that Mil. went through a great deal to obtain for him? If so, renewing the card under the same employer shouldn't be hard at all as long as they submit the paperwork on time.

Looks like his working visa ended 2 months ago and he got a "working holiday" visa in germany. Which is not a good enough visa to play in WCS EU
(cf his tweet : https://twitter.com/ForGG1/status/528323647593656320)

His latest tweet was regarding IEM qualifiers a bit over a week ago, I bet he's still playing!
I tweeted him asking about WCS next year, hopefully he responds!

To my knowledge. I never paid much attention to WCS America and it's players as I didn't need to. First I heard about JYP being in America was today ^^
