I really liked last years format and think as a community we should actually stick with something. It's been years of overhauls, year and year, but tell me what was really bad about last season? And someone making the decisions tell me WHY this is a good decision for the scene and explain how it will help? | ||

Waste of time, you'll only get condescending answer and tactless insult in return. Also it's almost ironic how he himself seem to have anger issue when looking at how he answers in DM :D Back to topic. I hope Blizzard makes an official statement soon, if not to clear up the worries at least the rumours so that we know what we are in for next year. | ||

Dh,redbull,IEM...Should just flip the finger to blizzard and run their tournaments as they like. As for blizzcon its a shame, it was actually fun to see the foreigner race, everyone was cheering for that one guy to make it. Now if basically half of it is foreign...retarded. This could be the last year of sc2 we'll ever see big tournaments... | ||

In conclusion I guess I'll patiently wait for the official Bizzard anouncement; also Richard Lewis writes for Breitbart now?? for some reason I've always thought he has actual journalistic integrity.. my bad.. | ||

You are also the minority, NW's audience almost doubled when the Koreans were on | ||

I'm fine with people preferring foreigners or certain groups of players over others, but this and Koreans don't have story lines most of the time. Is so insulting both to the Koreans themselves and the people that spend hundreds of hours (casters, journalists, writers) that put their lives into highlighting the best of these storylines. Like, I actually can't understand the mental hoops you need to go through to arrive at the conclusion that because you don't like or know them, the storylines don't exist. Come on. | ||

You are correct of course, sorry for any offense, that was poorly worded. The mental hoops my feeble mind was jumping through led to a belief that foreigner story lines are much more interesting to follow most of the time; they contain more personality, and are much more relate-able, probably most of all due to language. | ||

But people are quite different in that respect. For instance, I personally relate much better to Korean players since they're professionals and are more dedicated than foreigners and they have that special mystique which separates a star from an ordinary player. Furthermore I think that sites such as (primarily) Team Liquid have done an excellent job in developing narratives around Korean players. Of course there is a lack of easily relatable streams, fluff and interviews and such and there is a cultural barrier, but all those things would hold for Messi and Djokovic too and they are still star players. And for me their special appeal lies mostly in their playing ability, they express themselves through their play styles and tournament results and that's what I judge them on, not their language abilities, -- and I think that is quite a natural thing to do for athletes. | ||

If there's a storyline in the forrest that I don't care about, does it really exist? | ||

Nobody cares about 16EU/NA players batteling out for a 10k price pool if there are no Koreans to make the tournament interesting. If 4 out of 16 players are korean and I know one of them will win, that seems rather boring no?  | ||
