Maybe I expect too much, but some bones for NA/EU would be nice before our Korean overlords arrive.

If history repeats itself, it means Starcraft's competitive scene dying everywhere except in Korea. Do we really want that? I don't think history will repeat itself, it's just a new epic beginning. | ||

But yes, if foreigners were that good, the teams would have picked up the players and give them special licenses so that they can participate in the leagues (there are 2 ways to become a progamer: Courage which is NOT 1 winner per 3 months (it's still small but definitely not 1) or through special licenses given out by the team). I'm curious too. Yeah, Courage/Rookie League is 2-3 winners per month. Used to be even more a couple years ago. Players also received licenses from Elite School League. | ||

Sorry but starcraft competitive scene is pretty niche it self and it isn't really that active globally except few countries I can't call it a global reception when it is only solely focus on American and Europe . I want history to happen again it reminds me of bw korean dominance . I am getting so nostalgic about it . | ||

I feel that should be addressed, as a lot of independent western teams are started grass root style with little to no funding and climb from there. This is much more of a case with the way scene works currently than with the way the whole Kespa structure works. Which notable western teams have started grassroots style anyway? I only know of Liquid, Root and Light, and there's already no more Root. -_- I'm sure there are smaller teams that did, but they're already suffocated by all the "esports organizations" in the west and Kespa teams won't have any additional effect on them whatsoever. It will, however, mean that the western teams will no longer be at the top of the food chain financially, which for me personally is going to be extremely satisfying. | ||

Or Rain being banned/suspended from GSL and Idra being rewarded a free Code S spot a year later for doing the exact same thing. Or GOM seeding whoever they feel will bring them the most views straight into Code S. Self-regulation isn't serious enough and isn't good enough, you're basically stuck with spur-of-the-moment decisions that can go whichever way the wind blows that day and decide whatever seems more convenient at the time. don't forget a team getting disbanded because the manager was molesting players | ||
