I wonder how far the hype train will go before it crashes. How many foreigners make it to the Ro16? 0? 1? 5?
Will they have to bring in a translator for group selection? o.O

I hope Blizzard will open up WCS for koreans in 2018 now, it's totally unfair that foreigners can go to Korea but koreans can't go abroad.

And the viewership sunk anyway since the hard region lock, they can't use that excuse anymore: the scene isn't growing anyway, overall.

I hope so too. You can have 8 places for Koreans in WCS events. Everything is global, everything is fair.


From blizzard logic it's better to see a code A player winning 2 WCS Circuit events.

Well played sOs!

But he can only play PvP as usual which won't help him in later rounds.


At least he gets a chance to get PvP unlike Zest

Well yes, at least he is still alive and that's what sOs has been doing for years, never die out.
sOs is THE ONLY player I pay attention to

I can't imagine that the Koreans are not at least a little pissed about the foreigners in Code S. One is a novelty, two a curiosity, but five!? Professional pride has to object to that.


The only thing Koreans are mad about sc2 is region lock by blizzard.

With luck, Gumiho picks one, soO picks another, and the last three get stuck in groups of death.
But probabilistically, the odds of 1 foreigner getting through (say MajOr) are not terrible.

This is basically reverse 2013/2014.
Foreigners coming over to get that easy money preventing the local scene to grow.
Okay money might not be the motivation for them but you get the point.

What the hell is wrong with you guys? Still living in the previous era or what??

When you watched WCS Austin or Jonkchoping werent you proud of foreiners and didnt u wonder how well would these guys do against koreans?

Major, Scarlet, Elazer... Neeb, Nerchio, Serral.. their skill level, mechanics and the understanding of SC2 is very very good! They dont make many mistakes like foreiners used to do.. Why cant they compete with the best all of the sudden?? SC2 is not a hobby for them anymore but the real job to get money from.

And Koreans.. are just Koreans lol. They are humans just like everybody else. They were and still are just as good as before. They take esport very serioously just like foreiners these days.

Anyhow, Im soooooooo happy that 5 foreigners made it to GSL S. Im pretty sure more would if they decided to play the qualifariers. Is there anyone who says that Serral, Kelazhur, Nerchio, Snute is not GSL code S progamer??

Poe's law in action here... I mean, I hope this is sarcasm, otherwise this is extremely racist.
I used to organize tournaments for ESL Italy and referee Go4SC2s, WCSs, and IEMs for ESL SC2.

It's obviously sarcasm. When people criticized koreans "invading" WCS, the term "faceless korean" was quite common (as dumb as it is).

Just joining in now, but holy shit, the demise of Zest is real. And really going to miss Byul in the GSL - he must be the highest quality player to not be in it.

I for one welcome the foreigners. But region lock should be completely off the table now.

Btw, TY said that TIME would become a great player half a year ago.

Coming to grips with the fact that the Korean scene is almost entirely dead. We're under 32 Code S level Koreans now. I don't imagine that number growing until the end of 2018.

They are bad ( wcs backtoback champion = codeA player ) and they deprive ro32 players of what it comes to them, their only source of income. So, they have to retire to make a living, just because scarlett and his troop wanted to get 2-0ed by INnoVation.

But ye, we are wrong.

This is why region lock is a stupid system made by blizzard, which is the only difference. Foreigners can compete in GSL freely while Koreans are not allowed in WCS Circuit...

I mean there's nothing wrong foreigners play in GSL, we want the league to be more popular and globalized, but the only problem is 'Koreans are not allowed in WCS Dreamhack'

What a fair play by blizzard.
