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. | ||

New dream then. JYP shows up and gives a massage to a player on stream. Naniwa dies of an apoplectic rage. | ||

I'm really glad that blizzard is getting more Korea oriented. I'm always behind supporting the best of the best. And to ForGG and people in similar situation. I'm sorry but it's kind of logical that you need to be a citizen of a certain country to make a living there. I live in Serbia, which is not European union country, and it's damn hard to get a working visa to go like work in Austria/Germany and you can only get it for like 2-3 months. | ||

We tend to overestimate consistency of players and underestimate the strength of others in their region. I wouldn't be surprised to see a Ro8 with only 1-3 of those players. | ||

thanks alot guys! well i for one hope they move back and wcs eu becomes what i hoped itd be years ago haha i think most eu pros would agree the with me here. better practice is nice but fighting them in all tours (including the smallest weekly cups) has surely made it difficult to get by these days money-wise, speaking as a mid-tier foreiger pro here | ||

Umm... that's not what's happening here. That was announced like a month ago. | ||

A "foreign" wcs (with few koreans still..) and 2 big korean tournaments. Foreigners will have more chances to shine overall and reach the wcs final but in the same time Korea will keep most of the wcs points and cash money. And icing on the cake, it will be more interesting to watch. I didn't ask for more. | ||

He moved back to Korea and will study there according to dude at reddit.

I kinda agree, but in forgg's case I really think he should be eligible to play. Guess the line has to be drawn somewhere, but a couple of years of EU ladder should be enough. And you're no mid-tier foreigner, top level for sure! Cheers | ||

I just tend to exclude players and think too much in absolutes. players like TLO, Welmu, Major, Jim and Happy are good enough to have shots at it too. i still think that especially the round of 16 will be filled with mostly the same players though. | ||

Just a personal problem though, as many like the changes for now. I'll just put all my hopes into unique map pools being used. Already curious how the end of 2015, really need a timemachine. | ||
