If the best players have a go at GSL, it's only natural zerg is over represented. I'd say it's the easiest to get to a high level with at that level of play. It's why there are so few good terran foreigners. That's not a balance whine, that's just the way the races are designes | ||

Some of these results feel a bit surprising, and I like that. It's a shame there isn't something like Code A anymore... I mostly wish that the talent that's just a cut below Code S could be fostered a little more. But yeah, Zanister and SortOf both in Code S? I feel like there were eras where this would simply not have happened without some kind of seeding. On an unrelated note: no PartinG?! Damn it all to hell! PartinG and MMA gotta step it up. What the hell are they doing not in Code S? | ||

Legion locking going both ways would also be more fair imo, but I guess Afreeca would not want that. Some foreigners definitely make Code S a bit more exciting for the fans. Big congrats to Zanster btw. He looked so good against Neeb in WCS. I really love his multitasking heavy, aggressive style and he uses cracklings so well. | ||

Well i count TRUE as a "foreigner" here even though he obviously doesn't qualify for the descriptor of not speaking the same language :D I am also not fully serious though the end result is definitely that some lower lvl koreans might have to retire due to not getting the code s money. | ||

I think that within a year the best player will no longer be a Korean. | ||

Don't mind that Scarlett (who has proven her worth in Korea by now) and Elazer qualify, but it seems absolutely ridiculous to have Zanster and SortOf in this tournament. It really sucks for the mid-tier Koreans. Korean Starcraft badly needs a second-tier league. Come on Blizzard, sponsor the return of Code A! | ||

Since Blizzard pays for GSL, I don't see how it would ever go away until sc2 and WCS overall are completely done. And that won't happen until Blizzard releases WC4 or SC3, which again won't happen for quite few years. | ||

The only way this happens is if all the current top koreans won't play the game anymore in a year. To me all the foreigners making code s just means that Code S sadly isn't what it used to be. A few years ago ro32 was kinda competitive, now code s starts at ro16. And i don't even say that to bash the likes of elazer or scarlett, they are good players but we lost so many korean pros over the years, it's always an unhappy moment when you think about it. With that being said though, obviously looking forward to more gsl action. | ||
