But we say that should not come at the cost of Koreans. But no, lets keep shit posting twitter, that will be better as a community figurehead. The article targets an issue with the Korean scene and that WCS changes ignores that and focuses only on the foreigners. What our glorious community figures do? Insulting and author and call him "shitter" while admitting not reading the article. Then slowly start saying "It was not my intention" "IT IS AN HONEST MISTAKE"... Now the whole twitter evolved and everyone joining their own sides and calling each other out over a tweet... A FUCKING TWEET! And the drama continues tonight on twitter... My personal favorite is that the tweet implies that people want less opportunities for non-Korean players and more for Korean players instead of just more opportunities for Korean ones. Handcuff all of them so they stop shitposting on twitter, I say. | ||

Let's introduce a rule in World Cup allowing all countries except for Germany to participate. Everyone can make stupid analogies in favor of any argument. It seems that alternatives for WCS 2016 hit casters' pockets really hard if they defend it so fiercely. | ||

And deliberately so IMO. https://twitter.com/RotterdaM08/status/691307446011367425 Isn't 2012 WCS the closest thing we've had to the World Cup? What we have now is quite far away from that. | ||

And funny you mention the casters pockets when Nathanias lost his ESL job with this WCS change | ||

In football some continents get more spots than others (as you know). The WCS - football analogy is hilariously confusing, I hope this twitter thread keeps extending | ||

Not surprised by the response from the casters though. They can't really be negative about WCS. Disappointed in Nates response. | ||

The WCS - football analogy is hilariously confusing, I hope this twitter thread keeps extending It's also a hilariously bad analogy. A tennis analogy would be way more appropriate - WCS is like tennis tournaments imo - but I guess no caster knows shit about tennis.

But yeah, I'm willing to give things time. It's just that the outlook right now is not the best for the Korean scene, and not even that great for SC2 in general. | ||

Apollo keeps tweeting how this system is for the best and how people don't know anything. the pie is shrinking. it does not matter how Blizzard juggles the rules. the over all decline in major events means the over all amount of money paid to SC2 casters is falling; all these different proposed changes to league policies are just shuffling the deck chairs on the titanic. | ||

It's not like Korea is banned from participating, players with visas can play in foreign tournaments and they will be sending 8 players to Blizzcon who competed in Korea (50%). So this analogy doesn't really hold up at all. | ||
