Poor HyuN  Poor Hyun... Where is Quantic though in all of this? What kind of team are they that they have no idea which qualifier their star player is supposed to play in? Aren't they the ones who should have signed him up and set him up for wherever he needs to play? Hyun could have read the registration rules as well, it's even the first one. Players may only parcipate in one region (Korea, America, or Europe) of the WCS.
Yeah, but he clearly misunderstood the exception about being allowed to play in Code A this season in another region for the 3 Code S players. His managers should have handled this.

Why not? It makes sense if it's the best of one region. It makes no sense if it's the lower tier of another region.

Because you don't deserve the same prize money as the champion of Korea for being the champion of NA.

Maybe not, but the structure of it makes sense. It makes far less sense, and it's also less fair, for the champion of the tier 2 Koreans to get the same as the champion of the tier 1 Koreans

You're right, the entire thing is fucked. It should be residency requirement to compete in a region (unless you're one of the CN/Australian players who are fucked) with prize pools that fit the skill level of each region
Korea should get X amount, NA should get 40% of that and EU should get 50-60% of that.

Which is why Korea should have had higher prize pool.

Luckily there will be a defacto residency requirement in the coming seasons as the games move entirely offline. At least Koreans will have to stay in their foreign team house for a few weeks as it happens which would mean they can't do proleague or gstl.
