MarineLorD and DnS disqualified from Challenger - Page 6

Starting on Page 7, using the phrase, "Welfare Circus Series/System" will result in mod action. It breeds negativity and it's just generally a stupid thing to say. All in all, please stop discussing the WCS system, this thread is about the disqualification.

It seems really weird that they disqualified them before they could even explain why.

I read through the entire thread and *still* don't understand what is going on or why they were disqualified.

Not really.. I actually think this is a prime example to bring back the topic of Korean discrimination to the table.

Just so you're aware, this is a topic which is constantly relevant.

It's absolutely abhorrent that Koreans are not allowed to participate in events which used to be open to all. Now Koreans are not allowed to enter these tournaments on the grounds that foreigners need to be protected.

It's especially interesting that the foreigners who are being protected are also mediocre in their game play (e.g. the welfare comparison, foreigners do not particularly deserve extra opportunities compared to Koreans) and now apparently some of them cheat.

Sorry I'm not going to shut up about it, I want Blizzard to hear what I have to say. I play the game and I watch the game as well as you do. :/


You are damn right. As long as we voice our opinions in appropriate manner, I don't see why we should stfu.

Ironic that people demand us to stop the hate but keep using derogatory remarks.

What about adding Korean slots into the WCS? Would that help? For example right now there are 1 slot for China 1 slot for latin america etc. What if we added 4 slots for Korea? Would that be more "international"?


Imo the system is a mess as a whole. Patching it even more won't solve it. They should work on something else from scratch, with clear and as few rules as possible.

But I don't think Blizzard needs or would accept any ideas, because they like to do things their way. What I do think we must do is to be clear about what we like and what we don't. If I don't like this Korean segregation from the rest of the world but I don't let Blizzard know, they will keep pushing this foreigner privileges more and more...

I would be ok with it if there were more cross over, Koreans vs the rest, tournaments. Preferably the biggest ones.

Banning players for their passport and/or for being good, terrible planning, messy rules, double-standard applied to cheaters. WCS in good hands, no doubt about it.

Is it Blizzard or is it dreamhack though? the only official statement came from DH...

Moreover, as far as we know, case is far from being prooved.

Given the current state of things, I too think this would be the best thing to do for the rest of the year.

I would imagine that it is true, because marinelord would have protested somewhere by now if it wasn't. But it's still really poor form to remove them without showing why.

The top 16 of ladder of EU and NA qualify for two 16-man challenger tournaments; the top 2 of challenger qualify for the actually tournament. This only takes up 4 out of the 32 available spots of the main tourney, so I think it's a pretty good idea.

Well now is your chance! Just repeat what deacon or boxerfred or Incognoto have been saying: e.g. "WCS = Welfare Circus Series", "I'm glad to see this welfare joke is failing", or "I will not stop loudly complaining until Blizzard hears me"

oh, also "Blizzard is racist and discriminatory against Koreans"

Hopefully this site has damn good articles. Because between KoreanFanboys who cant think out of the box and ForeignFanboys, who can't accept the fact that players cheated. This a sad community.

Still hope one day people will try to have global vision for SC2... Not only for their entertainement...

According to this thread, bly just removed himself from a specific spot to have a better opponent. It probably hasn't changed anything regarding the top 16 players to be qualified.
On the other hand, DNS ? He gets a free 400$ because of a freelose from a fellow friend ? It's clearly not the same degree of violation, and therefore it's probably justified.
Not to mention blizzard probably has more informations about those throwing games than we do. I'd like to think they don't want to show us how they did it in order to prevent any future rigged ladder's matches.

Wait a minute.
Does MarineLorD still have the opportunity of 2016 WCS Spring Circuit Championship through France National Qualifier?
Could FireCake (3rd place) replace him?
During 2014 WCS Season 3, (Wiki)Shana replaced (Wiki)iAsonu due to the same reason and got 17th to 24th through the victory against (Wiki)Crank and (Wiki)Illusion.
I love SC2

That is so stupid to do such a thing. But DH must show proof/strong hint of that happening.
