Why did the Chinese / Taiwanese / Phillippino / other south-east Asian players not compete in the WCS KR?

+ Show Spoiler + Because in order for someone to compete in WCS Korea, they had to actually be in Korea at the GSL in person to compete.



OK then, why not WCS EU?

+ Show Spoiler + While, geographically speaking, EU as a whole is closer, ping is always lower to NA than EU for everyone living in Asia and its neighboring countries. It's a strange phenomenon that I will personally put to the test when I go to Korea next semester.



Bear in mind this is something I just decided to translate because I found it worthy of attention from an international community.



Before I translate this and give you all this story, I must clarify that my thoughts are in order for eSports to globalize, we need to choose a place to hold finals and tournaments that is accustomed to this globalization. I remember someone saying in the thread casing iG.Jim's Disqualification from IEM Shanghai + plus him and macsed not getting visas, that the U.S. Embassy in China is the only one that is slam-packed from city to city in comparison to the Russian embassy or the Indian embassy. I honestly think that if we held BWC in a place that is easier for tourists from all around the world to go to (Taiwan or Hong Kong), then we can see people from all around the world more easily gaining access to these places. Once again, I stress that most nations around the world are not ready for eSports to be globalized, and in order to see a place like this be made, we have to feed a locale that already has an eSports industry.



Translated from this source:



First I'll talk about the tournament [IEM Shanghai]. This time I already I had already strived. If I lost, I lost, there's nothing to say. Online tournaments and offline tournaments are two completely different games. Alive, I played against him many times, I won often and lost very few games, but this time I completely felt that they, at offline tournaments, were quite capable, strong in every way. Playing against alive in the early game, each and every opener I was at a disadvantage, and in every way I couldn't keep up with alive so I lost. When I played OZ, that was my second offense. The first round I shouldn't have been cannon rushing him, and in the second game, I don't know if you guys saw it or not, but I always use a worker and a DT to scout whether or not he started a hidden expo, it's just too bad that I didn't see and that's it. It became the root of his increasing army size, I had a kind of bewildered feeling that he started a hidden expo, but it looked as though he was not giving off that kind of illusion. Because he was always using zealot, immortal, archon, these low-consumption units. There was no way to come back, I was such a noob.



Now I'll talk about the visa. Actually, this time the visa is not something to blame on Edison. Do you guys really think he doesn't strive for us? He doesn't want to go? I hope everyone does not blame him.



This time the reason why the visa failed is actually, I think, from the invitation letter. I remember last time, blizzard's invitation letter, that visa officer was always looking at the invitation letter, then didn't look at anything else just sat at the desk, looking at his computer, from time to time asking basic questions and things of that nature. Then he got out of his chair, to talk about something with his boss, then came back and we were refused visas. This time, the situation with our visas and the situation with our visas last time had a huge difference. It's just that this time there were two people, but then became four people, this time the visa officer was only looking at the invitation letter, he didn't look at any other material, just asked those questions, we wanted to give them the info they would need, but they wouldn't look, and just one stalwart was looking at a computer, leaving his chair two or three times and we typed out "GG". Just like that.



Sigh, I've already been rejected by the US twice, I feel like I won't try again, it's pointless, even if I qualify, aren't I just sitting at home all the same? Do you think it's easy going pro? We just want to compete overseas, to show others Chinese SC2 is not weak, please don't count us out. Unfortunately this happens every time, it feels like falling from heaven into hell, it feels like all our hard work is wasted, it's a wash no matter how hard I practiced. Instead of this, I'd rather go into entertainment, F91 made the smart choice. Is your society still recruiting?





That's it. To the best of my knowledge, Jim has had nothing to say yet. MacSed has been abroad to compete before, but just to the GSL. XiGua has also been to the GSL but attended one IPL event or another to Compete offline in the USA.



EDIT: As far as I can tell... I think the last sentences of the final paragraph suggest that perhaps MacSed is thinking of throwing in the towel. I can't tell for sure. F91 got married and has a baby now, which I think has a big role in why we haven't seen him compete so much as cast.



EDIT 2: Chinese is not my mother tongue, if you think my translation is erroneous, please tell me which parts you think you could better translate.



EDIT 3: I think in a constructive light, we should some how get blizzard to look at this thread. I'm not angry any more. I mean, I knew from the beginning this would be a problem. There is really nothing that I can think of to fix the problem we have presently, but I feel that if someone influential at blizzard sees this thread, then they will come up with a method to prevent something like this from happening again.
