But the winner also gets a direct seed to the WCS Grand Finals, so I'm hoping that the Koreans take this seriously.

tbh since wcs asia looks to be much easier than wcs kr, a seed to wcs asia is just about the same as a seed to the global finals anyway haha

wouldn't you want to be seeded into the continental finals so you could win more money anyway ~_~

players seeded into global finals can still play in the continental ones, no?

They rescheduled the match for a day earlier so that By.Rain could attend the OSL Group Selection, I assume. Reality, EffOrt, HerO, herO[jOin], aLive and Miya all did not qualify for the OSL, along with Jaedong for that matter.

Off topic, but have they announced if any KeSPA players will be at MLG this weekend, because the WCS Korean finals will be ending this weekend as well. If it comes down to that, I guess the players already in the top 10 could forfeit, since they would have already secured a spot in the WCS Asian Championship.

the greater allure imo will be being called "korean champion"

lol this is so funny. ive thought to myself about all of the questions recently mentioned, but i just assumed that someone else would know the answer and enlighten me >_>

but to be honest, i dont think the koreans care much about the tournament. even the kespa players mentioned how they never considered participating in the tournament to be the representatives for korea. they only want the experience against GSL players lol. even MC and Mvp decided it was in their best interests to go to IEM (and probably MLG...). if you ask Mvp and the extra $6500 in his bank account, he would probably say it was the right choice :D

I don't think the Kespa players will go to MLG because they still have pro leagues and all the teams are so close that it is do or die. Alive already said he would have to forfeit unless matches get rescheduled. Not sure about HerO. But they are the only players that are both still in WCS and in pool play. Will players forfeit their WCS spots to play in the open bracket? I am not sure.

There's only 6 WCS finals seeds on the line in the Asian championship (according to Liquidpedia), and don't count out the other Asian countries as well (although Korea is the favorite).

Is by.Sun vs. Jaedong part of today's games or not? I'm confused because the OP lists it, but the calendar doesn't.
