He never stopped. Like, he was in Code S this season.

Aight, this region-lock talk has run its course. Thanks for keeping things civil, but it's time to get back on topic. Only preliminaries related talk, please. | ||

I'd have liked to see a few different players than the ones who qualified, but I can't complain too much since the racial distribution is decent and there are no non-Koreans. (Yeah, TRUE is a WCS Circuit player, but he had to give up playing for most of the 2016 season to accomplish the switch. That's a lot more to give up than just the cost of a plane ticket and accommodations.) Yeah...so TRUE actually played in season 1 and 2 of the GSL, failed to qualify for SSL season 1 and 2, and then won in Montreal. If you didn't like Scarlett or Special or any foreigner because they played in both regions (except they didn't take a top prize away from the resident group), then you really shouldn't like TRUE being here. TRUE didn't have to give up playing whatsoever and switched to a weaker region. | ||

No, nothing seen. But honestly Trust had a very good run and probably just caught fire (beat Elazer, won a map vs Dark, beat Dear, beat Bunny and PvZ is his weakest match-up). TRUE is a pretty unstable player, but on a good day it's not too surprising he can take a series off TY who is very vulnerable against Zerg. If TRUE lost to sOs in the round after he'd probably have lost the rematch to TY, but no dice. After sOs lost to TRUE it was clear TY wasn't gonna qualify. | ||

TRUE gets a pass because he gives me the ability to say that Zerg is so easy that you can F2 your way to the WCS Global Finals. But more seriously, I wish TRUE weren't playing in Korean events. Players should be forced to choose a region and play only in it outside of specifically designated world wide events. TRUE making it is only 75% as bad as a non-Korean since he at least can't live in Korea for most of the year while flying out to WCS Circuit events. | ||

To be fair, it's forever until the next main WCS tournament. The size of that gap is so big I understand he'd go to Korea and play there. | ||

Kor can't compete outside Korea, For can come to korea to hone their skills, compete in Korea, and still compete in Foreigner tournament, this is the most biased system ever. Even if stephano was playing GSL (and I love the man) I'll be against him (unless he forfeit participation in foreigner tournaments of course). So stop assuming things. | ||

Yeah...so those foreigners are actually living in Korea. If Koreans want to get a visa and live in the US or the EU, they are welcome to do so. Sure, getting a visa in Korea to other places is more work, but after the initial visa, they're as free as TRUE. | ||

The ridiculous region-lock is killing Korean SC2 scene. Then, foreigners just move to live in the house in KR and complete at Korean events like no one's business. At this rate, foreigner may actually win GSL eventually as top Korean players will need to go to military soon. No new blood in Korean scene whatsoever. Look like SSL is not coming back so GSL is the only thing left in Korea. It is just sad. P/S: I give TRUE a pass on competing in Korean events as he is KOREAN after all. | ||

I suspect no since that should impact their residency for WCS Circuit events, but I'm basing that on nothing concrete. If not, the difference between the process is monumental. Even if they are on work visas, I imagine it is significantly easier since it isn't a permanent residency thing for most of them. | ||
