Could TL staff add the thing about the working holiday visas in OP?

might be easier to get a working visa in Taiwan? (any Taiwanese able to confirm)?
then could be path for koreans to take, and Taiwan is close to Korea too, so they wont be moving too far i guess...
Also, about the merge of NA and EU...
theres 50% less live WCS SC2 to watch for some people...like for example you could watch WCS EU, then few hours later WCS NA comes on for tons of SC2
sure theres another korean league to watch now but its at korean standard time so for some/many? foreigners they will ahve to watch the korean leagues from vods?...

I remember Breaker saying once none of the Koreans on Taiwan have a working visa. Not sure if this has changed recently (he said this a few months ago), would be nice of him to drop by and tell us the status of these Koreans.

A company doesn't deliver a visa. The country does.

There were no handicaps for the foreigners, and still they were not able to compete with the Koreans. I would rather watch a "high level" match between Hyun and MC than a noobgame between Mana and Huk, any day.
Such a desperate move. The last nail in the coffin. Whatever bro, the "last nail in the coffin" has been going into SC2 since end of 2011. Maybe it's just a really long nail in a really fucking thick coffin
Being hammered with a spoon. -
Might be too few spots for a tournament that includes the world, however. With the Korean scene getting a boost it may be that blizzard is trying to get Korean players back into Korea to gain support in Korea. This allows for more foreign players to play in WCS, whose purpose is now to give consistent competition for these players. Only a select few foreigners can challenge Koreans. With the WCS change it is designed to weed out the bad players and allow the good one's a consistent avenue for competition and improve. Shame that fewer international people can see Koreans play live due to region lock but at least Koreans won't have to leave Korea to find tournaments/ get paid. Then again there are the few that have the VISA/ residency requirements but the long term is to bring them back home. There still are the side tourney's/ LANs.
The biggest loss is lack of Koreans in prime time/ live but I guess Korea is a bigger target.

In my opinion we have to wait until more info about the prize money distribution and the qualifier/challenger format are known. Could be really great if those are handled correctly, if not, even despite the fact that most koreans are gone, not enough players will profit from it and even less might get money/exposure than this year.
