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. 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.
That's my point. As I said, "everyone can make stupid analogies in favor of any argument.". Rotti's analogy doesn't hold up either because WCS and World Cup or continental cups like Euro or Copa America are not comparable.

Can Foreigners Even Have Knowledge?

Interesting back and forth now. I'm going to stay out of it now for the most part, I was Temp banned once over this, I have no desire to do it again and I think I'm too passionate in one way but I'll simply say this as my last post in here, in regards to what I said earlier in the thread, besides an angry accusation to one guy calling him something evil, which I rightfully got the temp ban for, I can only use the line of the French Foreign Legion. "Je Ne Regrette Rein" - "I regret nothing"

You seriously think Thorin's point, not his arguing style or replies, but his main point, is wrong?
Not even a fan or follower of the guy in any way, like I said previously, but it seems he's at least on the correct side of the argument this time.

Psshhhh we all know foreigners are super knowledgeable they are just too lazy to get their mechanics up :^)
EDIT: Okay That was too much, I apologize to Snute and all the other hardworking foreigners, but especially snute cuz he's cute and I don't want him to hate me

Does he have a point to be wrong about? I'm having trouble telling what it's supposed to be from the way he's just flaming everyone.

? I dont think i commented thorins point at all, but his arguing style and replies precisely. Theres many sides to the argument, and i cannot be bothered to argue which i think is the smartest thing to do. I just think thorin is an insufferable asshole

Yes?! When I like to watch my local 5th league football team that doesn't force me to watch Austrian Bundesliga. Hell, it doesn't even force me to watch German Bundesliga or champions league. I'm still a football fan in that case.

i'm always on his side when it comes to cs:go and I know no shit about league except the basics.
But he is so far to be right.... he has an opinion that is totally not mine (and not only mine it seems) and makes so wrong points.
Seriously, is it possible to have a discussion here or are people going to camp on their position ?
We should order a sociological study on who is by essence in a side or the other, and who is actually trying to understand the changes and try to make the starcraft scene healthy and peren. Really

But a discussion is taking place. I have not found any convincing argument as to how these changes will not be severely detrimental to the SC2 scene (at least the top players, for those of us who actually care about them) and thus my enjoyment of the game. All these commentators and personalities acting like manchildren and saying "i swear its going to be awesome but we just cant tell you anything" is certainly not helping in any way.
You are very much entitled to your opinion, but you presenting your opinion will not make me give less of a shit about the Korean scene and its tragic, slow death.

While korean scene is dying, foreign scene was almost dead.
Something is tried to be done about it. And I don't like the lack of GSL/SSL but I'm sure the korean ecosystem will adapt, create side tournaments, online leagues and such.
And if we can have few global event a year à la Lol, everything will be awesome.
That's my opinion, and I don't understand the people that are already bitching that korean scene is dead or whatever. I understand the concern, and th'tas why people must work in a good direction for the sustainability of every scene.
Starcraft was not in a good state anymore, and when something is done to encourage people to watch / go pro a lot of people are blindly bitching. Just seeing the argument "esl casters are not legit cuz paid by blizz" makes me want to vomit.
This community, and I said it before, has become hugely toxic, nostalgic of I don't know what.
Koreans are not dying. They were not showing any interest in foreign tournament, why should we focus on them?
While few koreans enjoyed the foreign scene, they have always been welcome and easily fan favorite.
And the scene is not in the same shape it was in 2011 when starcraft 2 was the only relevant esport.
Start acting like a real community and work on it.

You must be new here, the number of tournaments for the Korean scene has gone *down* over the years, not up. Interest has been waning except for the rare event (like TotalBiscuit's SHOUTCraft stuff and the OlimoLeague that himself and Olivia have helped create) and people have been retiring because of it.

It's fine to have that opinion, but you clearly do not understand, or do not care, about the severity of the situation. For those of us who have watched the premier tournaments slowly shrink in number, teams disband, and many online tournaments come to an end, it's disheartening.

Do you seriously think there were so many people trying to break out into the scene, who haven't already been part of it for years now? Do you think this is going to cause a sudden outburst of new talent? I would love for that to be the case, I guess we'll have to wait and see.

You what mate? Take a look at these tournaments. Note how many Korean players attended. Then tell me they were not showing any interest.

TB has nothing to do with the Olimoleague besides being a donation goal one time, That's all Olivia's work
