Only thing I don't like is that they are letting the pseudo-invitationals continue and the rich will continue to get richer in that respect. 25% for qualifiers is not enough, particularly when you can then further break that down into regionals. HSC should not be getting WCS points when it's a glorified invitational inviting people TaKeTV likes plus lip-service to qualifiers with only 2 spots for Koreans (and the qualifier ends up being a better tournament than the main event as a result of the talent pool). Frankly it should be minimum 50% qualifiers if you want any WCS points and I hope they change that before 2015 season starts. Aside from that it's great. There aren't 32 good Americans or 32 good Europeans, so if you want games that don't suck, merging the talents pools is the way to do it. | ||

Tournament spots should be earned, not gifted | ||

At first, I was opposed to the visa restrictions because I thought it was nothing more than foreigner affirmative action. Giving 2 WCS tournaments for Korea and a combined one for the rest of the world is more in line with the talent pool in each region. | ||

Opinions on the changes from pros and managers, casters etc... Also states that MMA will still be on Acer and they are already working on letting him go back to competing and living in Korea again. Is there space in the Axiom house I wonder? Or maybe they will partner with another team for Proleague and he stays with them? | ||

Stop giving WCS points to a tournament thats mostly about drinking and poker might be a good idea. Also states that MMA will still be on Acer and they are already working on letting him go back to competing and living in Korea again. Is there space in the Axiom house I wonder? MMA has always had a spot in the Axiom house. That hasn't changed. | ||

...Well, firstly the Korean tournaments are nice. Not sure how that's gonna turn out (like, will players be evenly distributed, or will one gain more fame/notoriety than the other, so on and so forth). But at the very least it opens up a lot of opportunities for the Koreans coming back. I'm not too keen on a unified WCS league. I mean, it's good in and of itself, probably done in opportunity cost with the second Korean league. But damn, that really shrinks down visibility for non-Korean players. ...Actually, it might not be too significant for Europeans, since Europe tends to host a variety of events anyway. And it probably won't hurt SEA/Oceania more than the current system. We'll see what happens with 'Murica, though. So maybe things will work out. | ||
