Eventually the foreigner scene will die off because people will wake up and know the fraud that a lot of the top foreigner players really are. This glass floor will expose them, viewership will drop off and the scene will die . Eventually Starcarft will return to its native home which is Korea. The fact is the real players are all based there. Its the most skillful and competitive environment. As long as the events in Korea arnt firewalled off i will be happy | ||

And even their local club, despite it being absolute crap compared to what the national clubs show. So while you have zero motivation to look at this, and thats fine, many others will be more interested in it than just another version of the GSL: If they want to see the GSL, they look at the GSL. Personally I do feel if this is actually true, it would be going too far. But preventing the European/American WCS from being just another Korean affair is good imo. Football is a "Tribal" sport. 95% people support their hometown club. This support is passed on from Parent to Child. You are basically indoctrinated into supporting them I support Newcastle United(my hometown club). They have been shit for the last 10+ years yet i still watch them, and i have no choice in the matter. I dont watch any other english team apart from them. If i want to watch a high quality game i tune into Barca\Real\ Byern etc In order to appreciate the game for its skill & technical ability | ||

Which in my opinion increases the legitimacy of the information, because afaik HSC was supposed to give points and then it suddenly changed and this would be a plausible explanation. It also lines up with "ESL does not want to host WCS anymore" rumor. I mean, ESL will be hosting IEM, but Intel is the one that decides what to host on their tournament (... Right?). | ||

I don`t get it. So what`s your point? A tourney should be quartered by nation`s size, not by one`s performance? | ||

I don't understand how they were going to justify that in the first place. I thought there was meant to be a minimum percentage of qualified players for it to possibly receive WCS points in the first place. HSC is almost entirely invites. | ||

Nothing really surprises me from Blizz anymore, their mishandling of SC2 has been very consistent. Have to agree with you there, Blizzard has been consistently disappointing with their handling of SC2 for quite some time now. I just hope this really isn't true or my interest will be greatly diminished, once again. | ||
