With MLG coming up this weekend we have another one of our biggest events and it is totally dominated by Koreans again.
Lately every MLG and IPL have been totally Korean dominated and that makes it just so much less interesting.
Yes I love to watch GSL, I also like to watch Broodwar OSL but when Im watching an international tournament it should be INTERNATIONAL.
Do you know what Koreans did when they hosted their first international tournament (WCG)?
They didnt allow more than 3 players from every country to avoid a bracket with 31 Koreans in the top 32. They knew that most people would not be interested in watching a 2nd OSL which is run on 2 days.
What did they do instead? They created a tournament which greatly supported esport in dozens of countries for almost a decade.
How does MLG ever want to present their product to a larger audience if its all about Random Korean 1 who likes noodles and plays all day against Random Korean 2 who likes noodles and plays all day? (Sorry for the polemical phrases but im quite disappointed.)
Casual viewers know the top foreigners and a few Koreans like MC.
What makes GSL so great is the incredible level of play and the hard competition.
What has made MLG the best tournament in the past was the great athmosphere, the interesting storylines, rivalries etc. and also the great games of course.
But really, in 2012 most of that is gone.
Yes the level of play is awesome, but I can see better games in the GSL every day.
Why do you turn MLG into a one weekend GSL?
Ive bought MLG passes in the past, I will still buy GSL passes and for Homestory cup – not for MLG anymore until this changes again.
And to all the people who say that foreigners should just train harder.
Do you really think that it is realistic, especially with the BW pros switching to SC2, that we will EVER have more than 3 foreigners who can keep up with the top 30 Koreans? Its not.

I like watching marineking win though and it's more satisfying when he does it against better competition.

Speak for yourself. I don't watch tournaments without koreans, because I wanna see the highest level of play. No need for discrimination btw, OP.

foreigners dont have same conditions as the koreans  shut your mouth if you just jump on the bandwagon response

I think watching Koreans is exiting. I want the highest level of skill, and that is what Korean pros (and a few such as Naniwa, Stephano) provide.
As a regular GSL viewer I know all of them anyways.

The EG, fnatic and TL houses would like to disagree

foreigners should stop being terrible first

It is completely up to the foreign players to stop this Korean invasion.

Life isn't fair :[

Skill is the only deciding factor
Nationality or skin color is irrelevant

In my opinion, I think it's way more excitiing when a foreigner making it far in a stacked tournament. Rather see Stephano in a top 8 in a sick stacked tournament, rather than him finishing first in a EU only tournament or something.
+ the fact that a tournament is more exciting for me if Leenock is attending, so want him in MLGs / IPLs etc :p

because i'm enjoying this conversation where you only point is that I don't know what I'm talking about :D

I personally have no issues if it was purely korean, I think it's awesome, if a foreigner breaks through then great! If not then well too bad.
|
I also like watching foreigners more because I know them and their history better. Watching Koreans feels a bit like watching two very good CPU playing against each other  Not that exciting
|
I watch sc2 for great games, so I love watching tournaments with the best players. If those happen to be largely Koreans, then so be it.

Koreans can play the game for the whole day, most of the foreigners have to study/work and dont have good infrastructure.
