We should either turn off region lock or have an actual region lock. | ||

ByuL probably does not train though. I do agree there are flaws in the system, but when I see that a retired player like TaeJa, for instance, was one series away from qualifying, I feel like ByuL was on a path towards retirement no matter what. | ||

Y'all have no information. Very quick to blame region lock. If anything, region lock revived some interest in SC2 for a while. | ||

As shown by the viewership that hasn't changed and non-existent new top players? SC2 is not dead by any means, but it's stagnating for sure. | ||

This was actually the main reason I was sad to see Neeb get into GSL over him, the fact it actually happened feels bad  | ||

If you're not on top 5 of your race, i don't see how you can survive on korea. And when you need a kespa team to reach quaterfinals as a zerg, Byul has no chance. The saddest part is he can probably crush nearly anyone on a foreigner region (on NA for example, i don't think he can beat Serral on EU, but maybe actually). And when you look GSL qualifier, it looks ten times more interesting than the last competitions we had on foreigner regions. | ||

Or the fact that PartinG was able to qualify. Byul reached the ro16 twice last year, got ro4 ST1, ro4 Gyeonggi, and 3rd SSL Season 1. He was very clearly an upper level player. This year, he got ro32 twice, reaching the loser's finals twice, and never losing to a foreigner in Code S. There are indeed flaws with the region lock, but Byul underperforming is not a result of foreigners (especially with formerly retired players coming back and making or almost making it). | ||
