Edit: I see blizzcon is Nov 4-5th. IEM Oakland Nov 19th would not play in to 2016 blizzcon finals obviously. Chances looking slim?  | ||

It is a smart way how to teach the Korean public that watching not the highest level of Starcraft can be fun as well and they might even start observing some promising foreigners after that tournament. it's impossible. korean public will only have one thought: you BLIZZ lock our region just because our players are too tough for your foreigners, our players can win the champ in every event around the world , but foreigners cant even survive from gsl/ssl qualify, there is no fun if not watching the highest level in these game. that's the realistic:-( | ||

I heard rumors that KeSPA in case of Goyang being WCS Circuit tournament will try to kidnap non-Koreans and not release them unless Blizzard lifts the region lock. Seriously though, these "jokes" are embarassing to me. You should try better, don't force them. And fact that all events lasting two days besides Shanghai, that will apparently have four day span hints something to me, but maybe it's just about China "unique" organizational nature given IEMs there in the past | ||

So, barring Proleague, this IEM would be the 5th event where Blizzard authorizes Koreans to play Starcraft 2 in a tournament setting. With HSC, that number goes up to an astounding 6. Hopefully a Kespa Cup or something gets thrown in there somewhere. That way, maybe we can get 7 events in 2016! Edit: I forgot there was some shady Chinese event which brings that number up to 8. THANKS BLIZZARD | ||

I really hate to be a drag, I don't want to come off as negative, or obnoxious or anything. However, seriously, I need to ask: when are we going to get IEM open events, where anyone can participate, regardless of their nationality? No region-lock or weird restrictions, just straight up "do you play starcraft? yes? then you can play" tournaments. I really feel like anti-Korean, closed off events are OK, as long as they are the exception rather than the norm. Otherwise it's just not fair. I'm not sure who calls the shots at IEM, but I sincerely hope that things will be re-evaluated in 2017. Thank you for taking the time to browse TLnet! | ||
