How does it feel EU and NA players, huh? Edit: Maybe they should do it like Starleague and invite one foreign player and put it against the strongest Korean. Just for the laugh of the Asian people. | ||

If so, it'd pretty underhwelming for potential viewers to see such limited competition again... Global is global, damn it, let anyone participate - best of the best, where's that gone? | ||

Kespa basically do not allow OG kespa teams to play in unproven events now after the failure of WECG, and it doesn't help that both year's WCA main events have been shitstorms. | ||

Since when was it their job to do so? as far as I know their only job is to win, personal marketability is just a bonus. Just because you don't have any interest in following koreans doesn't mean that they have no personality or that they are just some random people who are so good at "Exploiting the game engine". oh and by the way, koreans vs foreigners is a pretty popular storyline in the SC2 community, its the reason why players like Stephano, Naniwa, Scarlett, HuK, Jinro, IdrA etc were pretty popular at their time, because they were beating koreans... Incidentally, (I'm not sure about Jinro) but most of those foreigners also had very distinct playstyles and personalities. So, yes, we liked them because they could beat Koreans, but we also liked them because of personalities. And similarly, the "fan favourite" Koreans like Polt, MC, PartinG and others are well-liked because they also have more distinct personalities and have communicated at least somewhat in English to the fans. So yes, while I agree that any good player can draw a crowd, people also like watching for the players' personalities. | ||
