It takes a lot of time and documentation etc. Thanks for the clarification! Is there any other reason other than region-locking that Blizzard would want to require visas? I'm just trying to view this as objectively as possible. | ||

Nothing new. This situation is baffling though. It's not like there are multiple teams who could get tier 1 Koreans leaving KeSPA, so this is just stupid. | ||

WCS dead would be crazy, they just released a new game a month ago o_O Also would pretty much kill most casters careers. World of tanks here we go :-X | ||

I'm just trying to view this as objectively as possible. I actually don't know what other reasons it might help with except for ease of travel, and the other regular benefits of having a work visa. And how does taxation work for the person... | ||

Also how to kill SC2's popularity in the mid-long run in the same move. I'm impressed, I'm impressed. Worst part in this is that if the Ro16 of the Global Finals is one week before BlizzCon as usual, there still won't be any foreigner at BlizzCon lol | ||

Although the OP doesn't mention WCS Premier League, so... everyone not playing Proleague is kinda fucked if that doesn't exist. | ||
