For example, keeping the current Premier/Challenger league system, but reworking the qualifiers. Qualifiers should have cash prizes (of course not huge ones, but noticeable), and should be focused on the region's players. Like say, divide into two qualifiers: one region locked which gives three quarters of the spots the qualifiers give, and one open to the other regions which gives the remaining quarter. This way, you'd have something a bit more meaningful for local players I'd think. Still, I don't really think that would work well for NA, as we've seen there's not that much NA players that can go far once in Challenger league, but I'd like to think a better reward for qualifiers, and qualifiers more region-centered would be an improvement. | ||

NA, EU, KR, ASIA (china, sea) Double the pot money of KR. Compensate it by decreasing other regions. Twice the amount of players represented on KR server on season finals or whatever. NA (3), EU (3), KR (6), ASIA (3), WILDCARD(1) | ||

Koreans help the talent in NA become better Playing against a good Korean once or twice a year doesn't improve your skill all that much. Increase the Korean prize money That would set a bad precedent where it is accepted that Koreans are better than everyone else, therefore they should win the tournament.This is bad for players who rely on their confidence to get them through the tournament and very unfair for a serious competition. I won't watch NA and/or EU anymore Seems to be a vocal minority of people who feel this way when you look at the poll. | ||

Personally I would scrap a lot of the broadcast time on the challenger leagues and some qualifiers. WCS hogs way too much of the game up so newer players have such a narrow window of opportunity to achieve goals and if they fail that's it for a long time, we need to find a better balance between individual tournaments and leauges and WCS. | ||

If there is a region lock, NA scene might just die. I for one would not watch NA at all. I cannot name top 10 NA players and i live in the US! | ||

https://twitter.com/ROOTnathanias Also HuK clarified. https://twitter.com/LorangerChris "He's saying that they will for sure region lock. Just to clarify," "He" meaning Slasher, I believe. I personally don't believe the pendulum needs to completely swing back the other way, if much at all. WCS in 2012 culminated in a bop. And what of Korean players on foreign teams, like MMA? He most likely gets to stay in WCS, but does Mvp? Is being a fan favorite gonna give an unfair advantage? Too many questions with imperfect answers. | ||
