I always get excited when I see IEM Kawotice but when I saw the brackets some part of me died. Region lock was a good thing for "WCS AM/EU/GSL". But making worldwide tournament region locked is just sad. This looks like a amateur online tournament hosted by basetrade. Anybody actually gonna watch this.

It's good for the foreign community to have it region locked, the game misses it's foreign fanbase, becausue they had noone to really root for, to identify with, watching the game became stale and boring, watching only koreans with little to no personalities (For us). MC and MMA actually had cool personalities, along with a few other koreans, but most korean pros have little to offer other than being insanely good. It isn't entertaining enough for most people, the average dude. Remember the huk vs idra rivalry? People ran to watch the games when Idra was playing somewhere because they either hated or loved his personality and how he couldn't handle stess and was always abused out, especially by huk. These players may not be too good right now, but I believe it will get much better later as they finally have something to practice towards and actually get better and even compete koreans later. What differentiates koreans from the rest of the world of how an accepted way of life is being a progamer there, having big teams with houses, coaches, practice regimes, (and their discipline, coming from their culture) foreign players don't really have that right now, most of them practice on their own, or with their very few teammates without professional coaches. They earn little and have little infrastructure behind them. It will get better.
