Totally devalues the WCS final because you now have 8 foreigners competing in it who would never ever had a chance to qualify under the old system


Wat!? WCS finals would be waaaaaaay more exciting. Its an east/west showdown we'll have been waiting for all year long. nothing could be more hype than that. :D

So what if my idea for a good system and CatZ's aren't the same? I think we should still panic. Just to be safe.


Yep. If I'm not mistaken, Catz if very foreign friendly. So if he says the system looks good then it won't look good for me at all. Damn.

I'm really busy with work , weight training etc I barely find time to play and i'm only going to be watching KR starcraft so anything that keeps all the Koreans in Korea is good for me.

eh, I don't care what color their skin is. Or what language they speak. I want to see the best of the best games. And I want to know who the top players of the WORLD truly are.



Maybe there is a better option to promote the game, rather than discriminating against Koreans.

as long as there is Starcraft, life is good *insert propaganda here*

Surely Kespa Cups, et al will be part of the Circuit half so not entirely locking out those Koreans who are good at LAN events. I'm not sure how the the foreigner events are going to be though with only a few Koreans in them.

I love this classic TL LR poster position

I agree in spirit if not the letter of the formulation

No real sources cited, and it's BREITBART guys, the Right Wing site that supports climate change deniers...

I'd wait for real news.

lol, like it has anything to do with richard lewis writing some esport article....
Plus ofc Richard is not going to say who is his source.... All the people who knows whats up with wcs are under nda i would guess

If this is true, I hope Polt and Hydra have enough room in their garages to store the cars they're gonna be buying with all that easy cash.

I think this was needed four years ago, but by now the only people interested in the scene like Koreans well enough that this is just a shitty move.

That said, the foreigner scene could use a boost, so maybe this revitalizes it some.
the absence of evidence, is not the evidence of absence.

Really hope this isn't true, I mean watching 8 guys get disemboweled will be a bit too gruesome for my taste.

I am sad for that, but I can't say I didn't see it coming. I know the majority care only for the players' flags and the Twitter fights

If this really happen, maybe the only fix is for foreigners to be as good as Koreans.
Anyway, I'll still watch as long as things not getting boring.

I think Blizzard is taking the wrong approach here.. Blizzcon's primary goal should be to gather the best 16 players, and this format doesn't do that.

nope because the foreigners are only getting better when they practice with koreans and ladder with them.

but even then their work ethic holds a lot of them back

Honestly I rarely watch non Korean events as it was just out of time constraint so I imagine that'll just be all the more true if this does indeed come to pass.
Like Tinkerbelle, I leave behind a sparkly residue.

This had to happen. Let the casuals enjoy their white face and the rest will still have the korean tournaments.

I just don't know why foreigners are getting 8 spots in blizzcon though. Why waste those 8 spots? The tournament will effectively start at ro8 then. Just give 16 to koreans. We all know they are better. Just region lock for the circuit and give blizzcon to the koreans.

I love cheering for foreigners that go up against koreans who are stronger most of the time.

but foreigner only tournaments bore me to death. I much rather watch gsl/ssl/spl than a foreigner only tournament.
