EPTGotta love foreigners crying about Scan being too good and yet many of the same ones seem to loathe the idea of putting in new maps. IMO new maps should give them a better chance to win vs Scan, IF they're willing to prepare.

As dRaW said - good viewer count but the players? This is the least amount of players involved in a TL BW event I've ever seen probably. Perhaps it's just inactivty issues or some other issues. Still expecting a reply to my post on top of Page 21. I think that the complaints in the thread will be ignored as they are firm in their decisions. Maybe we will have to wait and see if anything changes over the first 5 tours to return to these complaints. I have been talking with many people in defiler.ru and it seems like they will not participate until there is some change, but who knows. | ||

And since many people love drama it will give TLC/TLS and ultimately give BW extra attention which is the whole idea of the tournament!

IMO new maps should give them a better chance to win vs Scan, IF they're willing to prepare. I'm curious how you think new maps will give someone a better chance to beat Scan. Are you assuming Scan won't even look at the map preview before he plays a tour game on it, and that his opponent will play 20 practice games vs Terran? Part of what makes good players good is their map preparation. | ||

Part of what makes good players good is their map preparation. Good point here. And also not to mention the pure fact- if Scan even sees starting positions during map preview (assuming he actually never even played the map), he will still win lol. So what does it REALLY matter. Realistically his "pro gamer" macro is enough to win 80% of the games vs typical foreigners, so map or not, it's irrelevant. | ||

Considering rules: "TeamLiquid Legacy Cup series was organized to strengthen the activity and support of the foreign BW scene (read non-Korean/Chinese)." Otherwise foreign BW community loses motivation to play in TLC, which ruin the main purpose to strengtheh the activity of foreign bw community. | ||

Having in mind last post of draw of how players keep refusing to play, because of admins decisions, just proves that TLC strenghtens Scan's pocket and the activity of the people who want to try against him, and probably will stop trying after a few defeats. Best case scenario will be the rise of some new players whowill be ok with losing and they will take the place of the old ones. Worst case scenario will be just to discourage everyone and kill foreign bw totally. Whatever the case, making notable players quit in order to keep one player(it really doesnt matter if its korean or not) is very very very BAD decision. Imagine kespa returns to bw but without flash, bisu, zero, jangbi, mind and so on. Having like 5-10% of the previous playerpool + new ones. its laughable... I was super excited to see players from tls 1,2,3 play again and how their thinking and playstyle changed/evloved, they are far from korean pro's, but we were getting used to see, know them and their play. | ||

Worst case scenario will be just to discourage everyone and kill foreign bw totally. While the decision to include Scan or not is debatable, I don't see how a brand new tournament that exists because of a generous donor is suddenly going to kill foreign bw. How does something that did not exist less than a month ago have the power to destroy? I don't think it's undercutting any existing tournament. There is the bw foreign scene and then this comes along in addition to what people were already doing or not doing. It's bw foreign scene+ or if it does not encourage anyone to practice, then it is bw foreign scene neutral. We carry on as normal. | ||

The guy is throwing $2000+ at bw, yet TL considers 'bw foreign scene neutral' as an actual option? Before the tournament we had large amount of (maybe happily) inactive players that were planning to be inactive, now we have that same amount of inactive players but this time around frustrated and unwilling to be joining the bw event, still having the same plans of being inactive. This is 'bw foreign scene neutral' at best, not to say it's negative in reality to me. Also, Rus_Brain, I am not sure if you are right. Players like draw, trutacz, me, eonzerg, doty, nemu and even the inactive G5 had good chances to win against sziky, if we only weren't that stressed out against him and played somewhat noticeably below our usual level in practice games. I am not saying we are better than him or have better tournament results. I am saying it's significantly easier to win against him - the foreigner, than to win against Scan - the actual korean. But hey, the viewer count was 400 and there were not as many zvzs as TL organizers grew tired of them. Perhaps in the so called "long run" by 2pacalypse- (who is all a sudden silent about insulting basically all TLS1/2/3 actual foreigner players but replies to just about anything else), we will have a ton of foreigner D+ players attending the events, scan and several more actual koreans angling foreigner easy money to keep the "foreigner" scene going. | ||

I am speaking as myself; I am not TL, but a part of it (despite my 'occasional' bouts of delusions of grandeur and self-aggrandizement  ) I don't think it's bw scene neutral, but I am talking to individuals that seem to see the additional tournament as the Grim Reaper's visitation to the bw scene, so I allowed for neutral as an option as a worst case scenario. | ||

This tournament will either help increase the activity of the foreign scene or keep it the same and will in no way contribute to the scene's death. I think it is all but obvious that injecting cash into the BW "Foreign" scene is inevitably only going to help this scene, although injecting cash into the BW "Foreign" scene where a Korean wins everything is completely backwards, upside down, illogical, etc. It makes no sense. People can continue to beat around the bush all they want with long drawn out explanations, nonsensical rebuttals, and a myriad of inefficient reasonings, but in the end it will still yield the exact same result.

To the second part of the question: You want a world congress organisation style? Go make your fund for example, fundraise to USD 1,000,000 at least and spend like USD 250k for the organisation part of the tournament and 750k USD - for a prizefund You cant? Go fuck off then. - the sponsor play and/or have fun. can't? get out. | ||
