Yeah, let's ruin the lives of the few Koreans who actually live and study in EU/AM countries by forcing them to play in KR, with all the flight costs etc that are involved Are you telling me he won't play in UWCS next year?

These are not the only 3 that will be playing in unified WCS. I know of at least 3 more koreans which will be playing in NA region, and about 4-5 koreans at least will be in the EU region. | ||

Because as I'm sure you know, Balloon went back to Korea, and given what others have said about the difficulty of acquiring visas (none of the players currently in the EU region have proper ones) by ESL officials, I find it hard to believe 5 could acquire the visas they need within the timeframe. | ||

Yet others have mentioned that it is not so hard to get a working visa in e.g. Germany as long as you have a job. Maybe it is just a matter of providing a proper contract? | ||

If Millenium couldn't make that happen for ForGG (I have only a layman's understanding of visas, mind), who has lived in Germany for a pretty long time and competed in Europe since 2012, I think "providing a proper contract" isn't as simple a matter as we might think. | ||

Someone mentioned that Millenium apparently did sort out a French working visa for ForGG, but ForGG went to Germany instead, because of his girlfriend being there, and stayed on this tourist visa or whatever it is. If people work, they should have a working visa. And a proper contract. Simple as that. Note that I said should.  | ||

ForGG has a proper contract, Millenium is one of the most serious/stable team in Europe. By the way, even if ForGG is not able to play WCS EU he wants to stay in Europe. There is a short article about the ForGG case in Millenium website. Moreover, tomorrow there is an interview of Llewellys, Millenium manager, and I'm pretty sure he's going to talk about new WCS rules. | ||

I hope this isn't true, it will seriously undermine Blizzard's commendable effort to fix WCS. If there are more than 7-8 koreans taking the NA/EU slots, it will be worse than ever for foreigners. | ||

This is what happens when nerds try to create sports, though. Any legitimate sport, with any common sense, whatsoever, puts a hard cap on the amount of foreigners that can play in their leagues. You're not left to wonder, o man, I wonder how many spots will be up for grabs in "x" season. Even if this season would be good for foreigners, the inevitable is still obvious, thus you will eventually have to change the rules again. Whenever that is the case, you may as well just act like the inevitable has already happened. As for Koreans in NA and having to pay for flights. There's only 1 or so Korean who could even contemplate qualifying in Korea. Looking at 2012, WCS great for foreigners. Good scene. Now, horrible for foreigners. No scene. Let's make it even harder... every day, it's hard to not wish you played LoL. | ||

if so, maybe he might think of moving back or maybe since he already has student visa, he can just stay in korea until offline Ro32, then fly back LOL... working visas seem to be harder to get than student visas.... | ||

I think he's currently a level above all foreigners, while Violet looks to be about equal to top foreigners like Scarlett/Snute/Bunny. | ||
