Hero's English is incredibly good, it's a shame that he's fairly shy for post game interviews :/ For the actual responses I think Sasquatch's idea is the best about having ladder seed into Premier or Challenger, thus directly introducing major competition into the very top. At the tippy-top, if you watch DeMuslim's stream when he was #1 NA, its very, very easy to lose ladder points, but alsoa lot of games to get those points back up. More high level games on ladder, the better. | ||

very good interviews overall. Would find it interesting if the ladder became more important for WCS as well. | ||

Nearly unanimously, the players said they would like some type of region locking for 2014, including the Korean players. That seems pretty misleading to me. I didn't see any of the Koreans say that they would like region locking. The only one to make reference was Hero, who said it was a system that benefited him and not foreigners (which isn't the same as asking for a region lock). The Koreans mostly complained about reductions in prize pool and increasingly limited options within Korea. Again, not the same as a region lock (and it's not unreasonable to expect that prize pool inside Korea won't change much under a region lock, if anything the amount of money earned by Koreans will decrease overall). Hell, Hyun even said that he hope things don't change because it will screw over a bunch of Koreans. qxc's opinion on WCS was interesting and well thought out. Clever guy! | ||

I imagine you've harped constantly on the issue, and this was the last straw rather than the first trigger. It is normal to close -certain- channels of communication when you're being inundated with the same message from everywhere. I have a lot of experience with having to do this, and I'm not even somebody who is remotely important in anything. It's only human. | ||

Region locking WCS would really FUCK the korean scene, and that is not needed. Having koreans across the world help WCS keep some level of quality across the board, while the foreigners can slowly feed in, like we're somewhat seeing with players like JonSnow, FireCake etc. Again, like qxc said, what's needed is just more moments where these foreigners get that chance. And as always, more money is always nice, of course... Edit: Also, my dream scenario is that GOM gets to do all of WCS KR next year and that OGN will do several more open tournaments as the highest tier of non-wcs tournaments (even though I'm still not sure if I like that phenomena at all (the rich get richer etc). | ||
