It's gonna be a blast to watch, hopefully snute takes this one. Cause the line up is weak. And the hype just has got old. (got from "the best players" to "some of the best players"). Damn, give us koreans. | ||

no, not anymore. I dont watch WCS but i am curious what casters/hosts use nowadays to describe their player pool. Good old times where we roasted them in LR when saying the "best players" | ||

I mean showtime wins DH tours and played really well but compare that to the hype when people like naniwa, stephano or Idra competed with the best. People just aren't impressed by foreigners winning tournaments now and so there's also zero hype for those tournaments. | ||

Has foreign competition gap become so large that "the best foreigners" aren't even worth hyping? | ||

This is mainly a community problem imo. There are quite a few people around here who have tried their best to dismiss everything that has to do with WCS this year before it even happens, by continuously posting in all threads relating to bigger events stuff that in the end boils down to "No Koreans = I'm not gonna watch this". Even in this thread. In July. Mind-boggling. I just don't get how people find the time and the energy to be so negative for such a long period of time over such a thing. | ||

It's because "the best foreigners" almost never get the chance to prove themselves against high level Korean opposition. Watching foreigners beat up foreigners and WCS Koreans in tournaments is all fine and dandy, and if people enjoy it, more power to them. But I got a thousand times more excitement watching things like Snute beating the GSL and SSL champions back to back in one day during an IEM group stage than I get watching WCS playoffs this year. The notable exception being the finals of DH Tours between ShoWTimE and Nerchio. It just would be nice to see foreigners and Koreans play each other before the Global Playoffs in autumn. Because I do think that players like ShoWTimE, Nerchio, etc. could do well. But they have no chance to prove themselves. | ||

Which is weird because I wasn't the biggest fan of the all korean robots tournaments from before, but the currents foreigners are all pretty boring too somehow; But I'm sure the tournament will be fun to watch nonetheless, because if there's one thing that hasn't changed since forever, its our casters pool, and they're all pretty good.  | ||

Bravo to Blizzard for this new WCS format that gives tours that have almost no interest skill-wise. | ||
