SC2 is more than just Korea, and just because Korea historically has been the superior country, there is no reasons that we can't build a strong european scene. One that might eventually surpass Korea There is no way that the foreign scene would ever surpass Korea in general. There was a time when foreigners could compete with top koreans. Not many of them but there were some, Huk, Naniwa, Stephano, Idra etc. but with these changes foreigners will have no chance to practice against top koreans therefore no chance of competing agaisnt them in skill and yes Korea will always be the top of Starcraft unless everyone there quits and there are no new players to take their place. I hope that day will never come. This (local players competing) might appeal to some of the casual viewers, but lets face it, the viewer base of starcraft is not that big and I would assume it is mostly the hardcore fans of starcraft that prefer high level of play which we will see a lot less of. That being said I will probably watch this tournament and DH and cheer for some of my favourite foreigners there is nothing wrong with that hopefully it will turn out to be entertaining. | ||

This is not even top 100 (Maybe the Koreans who are allowed there). Yeah right... oh wait, actually no you are not. You are wrong. I won´t argue that those are are top players, but according to aligulac they are all top 100. Which source did you use for claiming such a statement? | ||

If Blizzard continue to divide the scene and exclude Koreans from the WCS events, the whole Korean scene may eventually just die out because there will not be more new Koreans to play the game, sponsors depart, etc. And at that point, the artificially stabilized European scene shall have surpassed Korea. (I hope it never comes to this, though.) | ||

Marinelord has recently beaten Parting and Innovation. Snute and Bunny beats Koreans from time to time aswell. Saying that Europeans will never reach the level of Koreans because they no longer compete against them is bullshit. Koreans made it to their current skill level only competing against themselves, surely there is no reason why Europeans shouldn't be able to do the same. There is so much pro-Korea bias on this site, that it is impossible to have a reasonable discussion about the state of SC2. | ||

If Korea dies the game dies so it won't happen that way either The fact that anyone could think otherwise is laughable | ||

I don´t wanna see low quality games. Even the last WCS was close to beeing hilarious. "best players" I will definitely check the last Lilbow game before his retirement. | ||
