Don't see why everyone is being so negative, there are plenty of Korean leagues if that's what you'd like to see. | ||

I was really looking forward to DH coming to Germany as I very much so prefer their events over ESL's (at least when it comes to attending in person), but all my favourite players are Kespa Koreans and I don't really see any point in going now. Hold on let me go get the Violin because Kespa players went to Dreamhack so often 10/10 buddy On December 22 2015 07:27 oo_Wonderful_oo wrote: One day we'll move from "more people watcihng - better the scene" leitmotif. Won't happen tonight though. You would think that with the popular well proclaimed "mature audience" that SC2 has, we wouldn't be running into high school mentality of "my esports has to be bigger than yours" | ||

Not that it was completely obvious back then, but the Riot-style model without proper region lock didn't help SC2 much. Hopefully it will help at this point as you say. | ||

I believe SC2 fans should be supporting events like this no matter what they think about the current state of WCS. I disagree. Basically, if the viewers really drop pretty damn hard, there are two possible outcomes: 1) Blizzard/IEM/RB/DH agree that the system sucks and open up the tournaments to Koreans. 2) IEM/RB/DH think it's the game and not the system and they drop the game. I mean, I'd be really pissed if StarCraft II died because it's the only eSports title I really like watching. However, I could not care less about foreigner only tournaments. Therefore, strictly speaking, whether they play SCII with the current rules at DH or not at all, does not really affect my interest. In both cases it's equal to 0. And under these circumstances, I don't see why I should support a format I don't like at all and that destroyed all the tournaments I liked to watch (-> Korean tournaments are hard to follow, because they're on at... 10:00 AM...) | ||

Isn't tournament suppose to be a test of competitiveness and skill? what they are doing is avoiding real competition and the most skilled players from korea, Should WCS circuit be called tournament anymore? or renamed as WCS charity ceremony for the less skilled. it is disgraceful for both foreigner and korean to face policy like this | ||

I think it's inappropriate to require people to plan international travel with less than a month notice. Yeah, seems quite unprofessional. Very inconvenient for potential players. Plus it's also a lot more expensive to book flights so late. | ||

Oddly though, it doesn't meet the requirements for a global event, such as +16 players and only having $25k prizepool. Maybe IEM Taiwan won't be a WCS point tournament at all. http://de.intelextrememasters.com/season10/asia/ And this guy is right. If you really love StarCraft and have so much passion then you should support our game anyway. I rather spend that time watching GSL VOD's and such. That, and Hearthstone if they have it at Dreamhack. No region locking there last time I checked. | ||
