The WCS we have here is WCS America. Everyone from the continent can participate in it (and some not from it), not only the people from USA. So my fellows latin americans can participate in the qualifiers for it. | ||

Yeah, Very nice on Blizzards part. But LA/South America hard to create a scene with 95% has poverty issues. Only a blessed handful of people can afford to play starcraft 2 full time. Catz kinda does not count since he went to school in USA and is American who moved back to SA. But the LA//SA natives have a very hard time, so much chaos in these countries. Hopefully this will help the very few in the scene. And I think North Americans/Euros/Koreans would have major issues traveling to a lot of these locations with their gear ect. I go to parts of Peru/Mexico every other year, Very Chaotic. Glad to see money invested over there. | ||

Killer is very much active, in my opinion he's the best player in South America. | ||

But all in all I find that it might have an long term effect on building a bigger local audience, and if thats proves true, the money will eventually come, becouse if there is an audience, there will be sponsers. | ||

I also doubt a korean would be willing to travel for what's probably a 2k or less prize for first place for 6 months worth of playing Scarlette winning proleague games says hi | ||

Also IEM has made sometournaments in Brazil, and we had WCS Southamerica last year so..no, it not like people have issues playing in this region. But i think this is a response to League of leaguends actually, Riot recently opened not one, but two new servers for Latinamérican and has been organizing tournaments, this is Blizzard way of trying to help the scene and dont let LoL become bigger than what it is now. | ||
