Lol, still complaining about this? WCS is like Olympics. Participants number are limited by country. There are plenty of other tournaments that do not.

It was done by Nation population, everyone needs a fair fighting chance! UK got more Seeds than Sweden and we're not exactly known for our talent in eSports
Taiwan has half the population of South Korea, but got 9 Seeds.

WCS Korea > WCS Asia > WCS Worlds
So Creator is already the WCS champ!
I think WCS Worlds will be harder than WCS Asia, actually.
Some foreigners at WCS world are arguably much better than these chinese/taiwanese players.
What he said! Put it this way - World WCS will be a ZvZ fest and the person with the biggest win-rate in ZvZ in the lineup is Nerchio
Fenix is in LG-IM so he's clearly no noob and then you have Stephano, Scarlett and Lucifron
In all likelihood there will be a sizable protoss contingent from WCS asia so the zergs will have to take them out to have a ZvZ fest. Not that PvZ fest sounds much better.

If you wanna go that route, then China has multiple times the population of South Korea but got the same amount of seeds. Obviously, it was split evenly into the important markets for SC2 and SC2 esports. Unfortunately, SC2 isn't as successful in China and Taiwan as Blizzard had hoped when it planned the tournament.

he was the last terran lol, all are dead
I mean the WCS finals.
World Championship? We have 4 Terran (Illusion, MajOr, Lucifon, Fenix) and 13 Protoss, 13 Zerg and counting. It's about time foreign Terran carry the race, moreover, 3 of them are from America continent. How crazy is that?

Do you honestly expect them to do well given the competition?

there's more protoss qualified for BWC than zergs i think
13 each but all of the Non-Korean Protosses will be hoping on lucky draws to stand a chance of getting in Round 2
All non Korean/Stephano's will be
I actually think we'll have a decent Terran showing but it'll be a major (see what I did there) kick in the balls if they end up in a TvT early on in the tournament
