Exactly, yes it might not be any mis-translation but they are definitely leaving out things that were in the korean article. And unless Stork himself comes out to claim that the korean article was toned down, Inven Global seemed to be guilty of editing the interview's context. Yes, from Stork himself, not from some middleman. | ||

Change title, cause there was many reasons for no SSL, but it's absence form the WCS 2017 point system as announced last week is not one of them, it's a consequence, not a cause. Then remove that sarcastic line which just sounds dumb. | ||

Otherwise, there is no other reason to make another region lock in 2017... this is ridiculous. they are afraid that Koreans will take most of money from foreign events... This is the biggest problem I have with what Blizzard is doing. They didn't learn from their mistake with the region lock this year? That shocks me I thought it would be repealed immediately for 2017. | ||

Seems totally bullshit, and i don't think i live in a world where a company cannot even communicate with blizzard and just sit there and wait to know what is the next step. this is the most wtf statement i read in a long time | ||

That shocks me I thought it would be repealed immediately for 2017. What were they supposed to learn, exactly? Kespa prevented their players from streaming and participating in foreign events, and Korean viewership of SC2 has always been low. The latter is the bottom line. The team leagues lost sponsorship because the audience was too small, period. Korean companies advertise to Koreans. Blizzard did the region lock for 2016...yet the game was declining long before that occurred. People talk like Blizzard's responsible for keeping the Korean scene going when Koreans generally aren't that interested in the game. I think it's difficult for Starcraft's small, dedicated, hardcore fanbase to admit that skill-alone isn't enough to increase viewership. The human element is just as important, if not more so than anything else. If skill-alone were sufficient, GSL wouldn't have struggled to get by, and SSL wouldn't have lost sponsors. Hell, TotalBiscuit had 10k+ viewers the other day just watching him suck at SC2. | ||
