It's funny you say that because the foreign scene probably would have died tbh if Blizzard hadn't stepped in and region locked a bunch of tournaments. But I do agree with you to an extent. I think Olimoleague is a great example of someone taking it into their own hands | ||

I don´t understand why so many of you are disappointed, I think the new WCS System is better than the one from 2016. It´s the same over all WCS prizepool than last year, a little bit less for WCS korea and WCS Circuit and much more for global events. It´s obviously sad but, after the proleague thing, I´m not very surprised that there is no SSL next year in korea. On the other side the korean progame now have 8 tournaments to compete in, compared to 5 in 2016 wich is better for midtear pros. No Crossfinals is also a good thing I think because only the two champions and runner-ups had a chance to win more monney. the new WCS Circuit on the one side is bad for the European scene because it´s the biggest and now they have only 6 big tournaments(and two of them are global) and 4 very little ones to compete. One the other side it´s better for the players from LATAM, CN, TW and ANZ/SEA because they become 4 little tournaments per region for there own. well thats my thoughts  grtz | ||

I always felt that SC2 should be all about the individual player, not about an individual playing 1 match in a set of 5 or 7. Team format SC2 doesn't showcase the individual's skills. It does show the brilliance of the coach though, and the team's ability to create sniper builds for specific opponents. But as I said earlier, it seems weird for the coach's planning ability to be the focus, instead of the player's skills. | ||

Don't get me wrong, the games played were amazing, but trying to make a 1v1 game into a team format just seemed wrong, like putting a square peg into a round hole.

I enjoyed proleague the most, all-kill was always the better format for me though. | ||

Every time a snipe build in Proleague worked people were talking about the players, not the teams. Also first you say you never liked the PL format, then you say you don't like team formats in general. But what about all-kill format? That's all about showcasing the individuals on the team isn't it? Never mind that though, replacing Proleague can't be on Blizzard. Maybe VSL can establish itself properly and become the "new" Proleague. | ||

We won't know more about IEM until they announce their plans for next season, it's possible they host more events though I don't know how likely this is. In any case I don't think Korea got fucked is a reasonable conclusion to draw from all of this. As an aside I hope people support online tournaments more this year, especially things like Olimoleague. You've turned me around to some extent here. I think Korea is getting slightly fucked and not all of it from Blizzard. Just the loss of PL really hurts them | ||
