I know there is a huge scene in at least 3 countries like Sweden, Poland and France that are in need of having their own heroes. That's also the part why these countries were successful in SC2 but not every country has that.

I still never understood why foreign tournaments being played by actual foreign players is seen as wellfare. It's the foreign scenes money that was flowing to Korean players, not the other way around.

You speak as if you know everyone's opinion. Yet I am very excited for this system. I hope some tournaments do upgrade to global events, i believe some will, as it will give us more foreign vs Korean tournaments. But at the start of sc2 when things were separated, the game was exciting and fucking hype. And as some events started to add Koreans is when it peaked. It can be like that again. I hope it will be.

It's just the basic notion that winning money should be deserved by those with the most skill.
It's an easy opinion to develop as a fan of the game starcraft, but a bit one dimensional in the larger sense
of what it means to have an esport and a community that is stable (and exists).

Or the whole thing will implode. One way or the other its a large risk. It could work out, or it could bomb horribly. I guess we'll see. " for 1 person that wants to see Koreans there are 3 that wants to watch foreigners" that's not what the data from my tournaments said. The all Korean SHOUTcraft events beat the American SHOUTcraft events in viewership. Making single tournaments is not going to bring the scene alive, it was already dead to begin with after being flooded with Koreans from perfect practice environment. I totally agree that Koreans play better and they deserve more but we need to give some room to breathe for foreigners too. The scene died because of Koreans coming to foreign events? This just blows my mind ROTFL Boxer, Flash, Nada, MVP, Jaedong, MarineKing, Life, Parting, MC, Nesstea, Leenock etc had much much more "star power" then the vast majority of US/EU players. The only non Koreans that got lots of atention were the ones that usually practiced in Korea and got good, Idra, Jinro, TLO, Huk, etc. Hots being a terrible game didn't help either, these were the 2 things that got matched together. In WOL somehow we had players that could sometimes play on par or even beat the best koreans( Stephano/ Naniwa/ me/ Thorzain or whatever). Don't tell me about broodlord infestor. HotS is a bad game now? Seriously...?
How would you call games that last hours without any hope for the end or seeing mass blink stalkers/deathballs and zergs that were not able to stop it even in your favourite country Korea?

What is going to happen to korean players that don't qualify for SSL/GSL? (Fantasy, PartinG, Rain)
They have to sit around for a long time waiting for the next SSL/GSL.
If they are participating in Proleague, I guess that's good for them.
But then what about those that don't play in Proleague?
This group of players that used to make money/wcs points by going to IEM and Dreamhack, which is not an option anymore.
Fantasy, PartinG, and Rain made a significant amount of WCS points from the foreign tournament scene in 2015.
That's how they made it to the top 16 of Blizzcon.
With out doing well in GSL/SSL, getting to a Global Tournament for them will now be very difficult.
They will have to either stay in Korea and wait it out with no tournaments, which is unlikely.
Or get a visa and move to a WCS region.
If they have the financial backing to make the latter happen, that's great for WCS Circuit.
But if they don't, we have 3 of the top 16 players from 2015 left out.
That's only looking at the 2015 top 16, if you're further down, don't qualify for GSL/SSL, don't have a proleague team, don't have a foreign team to sponsor you, you're out of luck buddy, doesn't really matter if your skill is high.

Nerchio to win it, Good luck my Man!

I believe, Blizzard will be successful in bringing closer together the levels of play of foreigners and Koreans with this.
Not because it would improve the level of play of foreigners. But it will decrease the level of play of Koreans. Because it is taking away from them a lot of possibilities to excel, to win money in foreign tournaments, to get to BlizzCon. It will be OK for the TOP 8 players, for the rest, there is no chance. So at least, there will be proleague.
Anyway, the best thing would be to create a foreigner team in Proleague, who would be hopeless last each week losing 0:3 or 1:3, but its players would be then winning events like DreamHack.

Wow, that was low. I'm still cheering for you to win HSC though, so you'd better start working on a plan on how the beat ShoWTimE. I remember a certain tournament in sweden not too long ago...

Showtime is good but in this topic we are talking about globally good players that could put up a fight with Koreans throughout the sc2 scene and from Germany nobody comes up to my mind like a foreigner hope.

This section is saying how the 32 players for each WCS Circuit Championship will be determined. What is a Server Qualifier? That makes it seem like they're ladder placements.
Holy shit, if that is true, HYPE!!!!

Yeah ladder placements would be my guess too.
Which seems kinda cool, not gonna lie.
ESPECIALLY with the new ladder system next year

I still never understood why foreign tournaments being played by actual foreign players is seen as wellfare. It's the foreign scenes money that was flowing to Korean players, not the other way around.
The welfare comes from restricting players from competing just because they're Korean.
So Western players get to hide from the scary high competition in Korea behind Blizzard's curtain of welfare money.
What about the Thousands of players in Korea who are on the level of Western pros but aren't good enough to make KESPA rosters? Where is their charity tournament?
It's welfare because this kind of generosity is only being directed at Western players. They don't deserve more money just because of where they live. They should have to earn it by fair competiton. Restricting the competition based on region doesn't do that.
