Korea is the only region in the world that holds offline qualifiers.
On site, players are exposed to countless variables such as
- intense stage lighting
- crowd noise
- stage pressure
- hardware and setup differences
- camera pressure
- long waiting times and venue logistics
Because of this, Korean teams repeatedly develop and refine
- stage adaptation
- resistance to crowd pressure
- offline match routines
- live communication habits
from the qualifier stage itself.
From the perspective of other regions, this honestly feels quite unfair.
