Okay this is getting derailed into the same region lock debate as always. Please stay on the topic of GSL qualifiers. | ||

This is actually a hilarious/sad/genuinely-not-sure-if-this-isn't-racism turn of events. TRUE is in literally the same fucking situation as every foreigner in Seoul at the moment, if the prolonged stay in Korea doesn't affect his visa, then this is just a clear fucking abuse of the rules. User was warned for this post | ||

Not really, the high-mid tier foreigners would still be able to earn plenty of money by playing the game. The only ones forced to retire would be the low-tier players as well just like in the korean scene. I didn't think the 2013/2014 system was good either but implementing a only-one-way regionlock is just plainly unfair. | ||

You all act like the trophies were won in a raffle, Duckdeok made it to the finals by beating Grubby. Jaedong did it by beating Scarlett. ............. All of the above are high level foreign pros, it's not like they got through based on bracket luck. I hate the WCS system but don't blame this on the koreans who are kicking ass. You see where this is going? If you were one of the guys who didn't like the previous system, then you are extremely hypocritical and not to be taken seriously. I want everyone to be able to compete in everything, no matter what nation is better. The best should win obviously, no hypocrite here. What gets me is why anyone would devalue a players accomplishment just because someone else that played in the same tournament had different circumstances surrounding them. Be upset at the organizers all you want but its but its not the players fault. You all seem really sure the foreigners will get wrecked straight away, lets just say I'm not so sure about that. This was interesting brackets and it will be even more interesting to see where it goes from here. | ||
