It's not perfect, true (and I dont mean the lack of all korean quarter/semi finals some lament in tournamen threads). The days/times are hardly great and with decidedly harder games in the first round the lack of a group stage/losers bracket seems quite brutal. But I don't see the need to try to turn threads like this into where are the Koreans, not going to watch, this sucks etc. I can appreciate you might not like or agree with the changes but I just don't see what this accomplishes. | ||

Im a huge sc2 fan, but like a lot of people, i want to see the best, not the best of the scrubs. This new WCS to me is downright racist, and the person who thought about that rule should be fired. I encourage every people that doesnt like this new system to simply not watch at all the tournament. I still watch every ProLeague, GSL and SSL, and will continue to support the koreans, since they clearly put more time and effort to be good at this game, and get punish for that in the most unfair way possible. But, i understand some people might prefer seeing foreigner over quality level of play, and i respect your opinion. So i hope you will all have a wonderfull WCS and watch great games even with this lower caliber of player, im just gonna pass my turn on this WCS. GLHF ![]() | ||

Thats like saying ''we will ban team canada from hockey olympics, simply because France, japan etc cant compete with them!'' | ||

As far as i know, korean are not born with 6 fingers, 3 hands, or other stuff that would gave them a natural advantage. They just work harder, train harder, pratice harder and consequently, become better at the game. Its completly unfair to ban someone from a tournament because he is better. THATS senseless. Doing a local tournament only is fine exemple: only america. Or only people from europe can participate, thats fine too. But banning 1 country, 1 single country from every tournament simply because they are too good? Thats outright stupid. But yeah, fun fact, im quite sure the game will die way faster with the new rule, since a lot of hardcore that support the game since forever will not watch these tournaments, and casual will come and go, like they often always do. But yeah, keep calling us elitist, while showing no sign of understanding at all whats unfair in all of that. | ||

When every player will be equal on that I will consider the unfair part. Until then maybe its a bit too harsh but come on let the foreigner scene develop itself for 1 or 2 years and old system will be back. Just let the foreigners players gaigning some confidence with BIG titles. Its good for the players/team/scene. | ||

But to see if it works you have to try it. I dont understand that you people really think thats the last move of Blizzard. WCS is changing season after season. Why would it be different here? So let foreigners and their team having visibility/titles/money for some times if the scene dont grow up then it will be korean again or not. Rules will change let hem make their proof before speculating. | ||

I just love this game, not only players that wins GSLs. I mean, the more exciting game i saw this past month is a RO128 qualifier game between Bly and a mid-gm french guy named Masterbonsai This game was amazing. What happened there? VOD? :D http://www.twitch.tv/ogamingsc2/v/40157880 starting at the 39 minute mark. It's casted in french tho, sorry ^^ Basically it's a super back and forth, low-eco game with super cute micro moves from both players, and action all around the map. Highly untertaining all game long | ||

WCS has never been the best player, I don't mean that I totally agree with the new rules, but saying that WCS was the best player and now is "the best of the scrub" is just not true, hell it is like 80% the same players! Outside of MMA, Taeja, Hyun, MC at the start and mabye DuckDuck or Yoda their were no big tournament winner in WCS that are not there now. | ||
