But skill based, they chased all but one Korean from EU back to Korea while these where the guys giving foreigners a daily competition on EU ladder. Now WCS 2015 has only NA Koreans who play on KR server left and thus failes completly in helping the foreign scene to improve. Yes the money helps the players to stay in SCII, to be able to focus on the game, but it increases the gap between Korea and rest of the world ( EU for the most) more and more. Blizzard needs to find a solution for all 3 things, money, viewers and skill gap. 2015 only helped in to branches and a full region lock (passport lock) will additional help money and maybe viewers, but increases the skill gap. | ||

EU/NA team hardly win against TOP Korean team,but they have so much popluarity. This is because local scene is very well-established in LoL. Blizzard should do this.Establish local scene,just like they did on 2012 WCS. | ||

And now TOP EU Teams like Fnatic have 3 Koreans in the team... They lost ground and got replaced. (yeah and Riots strange rule changes regarding double teams) | ||

At least DRG has some personality to him, unlike Hydra or some of the other Koreans who've tried this transition. | ||

Playing against some koreans on the ladder is imo just a short term solution to get better. Sure, it helps because you play against these guys, but at the same time the koreigners aren't really at the level of kespa koreans either. The long term solution would be that the western regions build their own infrastructure and for that being the case it is imo important that foreign players actually have the opportunity to go fulltime. If there are better players (here koreans) who will farm the money this simply cannot happen. Koreans got to that level because they were competetive against each other and tried their fullest, the west didn't really get that chance yet. You can totally say "hey foreigners just wanna have the easy money", and that probably is even true for some cases, but there surely are other players as well who simply wanna have a sustained model to go tryhard. It's then the job of teams to find the players who actually wanna try and not just 'get easy money', but the system has to be in place for it first. | ||
