Not sure if serious :/

Wolf I mean not the video. I know that was an April Fool's thing

It's a joke until it's not a joke. While many players do not say so openly, their skype chats and personal chats are probably riddled with angry sentiments against koreans. "Why has blizzard not banned these koreans yet" is probably not uncommon among many foreign players.

Now that the Europeans are dominating the foreigner scene, can we split the scene some more, so that the Americas can start winning? You think most of us in NA care about a WCS global finals with 8 Koreans 7 Europeans and maybe if we are lucky 1 NA? You think im going to care about a tournament where the people winning dont look like me and dont speak English OR look like me but barely speak English with with a terrible accent? No sir, I dont just need white people winning, I need white people with good English winning. Why cant we get our own scene? The only way my entire continent stops being a MEME for when somebody does something really stupid is if we get our own WCS.

The foreigner scene has had going on 6 years to get its shit together for SC2. Throwing a pity party giving them spots they don't deserve at Blizzcon is a bandaid. Let's just punish a region that grew up, figured out on their own how to make a business by developing their own infrastructure and even got their own government involved in policing it. No it is not perfect but it's better than anything outside of South Korea.

China is starting to do the same thing. They will get punished for it in SC3. Stupid.

I never ever really understood why the hate for Koreans in foreign tournaments got as big as it got. I've always felt that if Koreans dominated foreigner tournaments, then the foreigners should just step the fuck up their game and strive to beat them rather than lobbying for free handouts. The region locking as it is implemented right now serves to fuck over Koreans for being too good at the game.
