Also : ROFL poor Snute. He'll get proper recognition when he'll win Code S I guess Just want to clarify that they are in no way preventing foreigner-korean competition. I really like the way they made these decisions, WCS global is regionlocked, which means koreans don't get to screw us over. We, foreigner on the other hnad are very welcome in all the korean leagues, GOM, Kespa Spotv, sure come and compete! They looked at this and said we need a hard regionlock, then they said "oh but what about korea then we would have to lock that too, to be fair. Screw it we don't need to be fair, lets totally give foreigners the sweetest deal where they can eat the cookie but still save it." Out league are safe from invaders but we are free to invade the koreans league, brilliant example of unfairness being totally fair =D | ||

Glad to see the overall WCS prize pool staying the same though, 2k to get into challenger will be nice and should allow a good amount of foreigners to stay full-time. | ||

I do have a feel that Polt is not in the same category. Like a few Koreans, he's very well known because we see him play more . Definitly, race should not be the only factor wether or not to adopt a player as ''non-korean''. The whole idea is to root for players we care about is it not ? I care about Polt because he adopted USA and USA adopted him, it's good enough for me, and that a win for region lock. | ||

Glad to see they're spreading it down, that's exactly how you build the foreign scene. Make it so ~30 people can reliably live off of it so there's a reason to stablish it. By the by, totally agree with Kim's point of Polt being a foreigner. He is now. Metamorphosis complete! | ||

There are no regrets. As she said "regret is a strong word". If something doesnt work perfectly but (very) close, then there is nothing to regret. I dont know what you mean with "initial scene". | ||

I dont know what you mean with "initial scene". 90% is a big number, I don't understand how you can not have regrets about that, with that I mean active player numbers, in the first few seasons (1-5) there were 3million+ active ladder players every season, right now a good season means more than 400.000. | ||

Plus, no doubt him and Violet are hella brining up the level of play on the ladder. I, uh, don't know about that last part. Last time I checked, North American ladder was still a wasteland where anyone that's actually highly ranked has to wait over 15 minutes to get a matchup, and then sometimes it's against someone they completely outclass. Everyone just ladders elsewhere. Wish it wasn't so. | ||
