I dont understand his decision at all. This. Unless he's already got a foreign team lined up (OP translation suggests against it), I don't see how this isn't a disaster. | ||

Though I know DRG and CatZ are pretty good buddies, ROOT.DRG would be pretty sweet as well. | ||

I don't understand why people even make this a thing. iirc, Korean players rarely ever played with foreign players in BW and now all people can do is complain about how their lack of skill shows when they're up against their Korean brethren. | ||

And for that to be the case foreigners need the stability of the scene to actually go fulltime sc2. That doesn't work when most money is won by better players (here koreans). | ||

It's less the foreign players complaining and more the foreign audience. It's just less interesting (to me, and many others) watching Koreans who have little to no personality play each other. While there are obviously some who only want to see the absolutely top level play, I would rather see familiar faces play and better story lines. There was more hype around IdrA vs Jinro (even though the series ended up being terrible .. T__T) than Hydra vs ForGG will ever have. | ||

Still, he should have stayed on SBENU, it was such an awesome dreamteam. | ||

He is one of the few people where such a move even makes sense, because if someone has a chance to be picked up by a foreign team out of the blue, it's DRG. Still, he should have stayed on SBENU, it was such an awesome dreamteam. Well i complain about it  There has to be SOME motivation for foreigners to get into sc2 full time, if it isn't wcs then there is nothing to play for (reasonably, foreigners won't get magically better and competetive) | ||

I wonder if DRG knows how the WCS is gonna be next year, or if he is just winging it. Because if he had left such a great team and then he learned next year it is citizens only, he would be really screwed ... | ||

When i think about it, the best thing for foreigners would be something like the LCS/proleague. Matches every single week, the tournament organizer actually trying to build superstars, etc | ||

So, basically, sacrifice ForGG, JaeDong, Polt and Hydra? (and maybe others I missed, do not follow WCS for foreigners) and lower even more the foreigner skill. Cool, I am OK with that, at least they will re-broadcast Korean leagues when EU/NA will become pathetic. | ||

Cool, I am OK with that, at least they will re-broadcast Korean leagues when EU/NA will become pathetic. Would it lower the average skill short term? Yeah sure, but that misses the point. The idea is to have a competetive foreigner scene which actually wants to become better and has the chance to do so. Which means that players need the stability to go fulltime if they are good enough to try that step. Right now that is not the case. How can a potential sc2 ladder hero even be motivated to try the next step when he has to play vs some korean progamer in wcs qualifiers? | ||
