Why the first round is called "Round of 40" if there are only 32 players? Why the second is "Round of 24" if there are only 16 players(16 winners from Round 1 Challenger)? | ||

Because there are 40 players. 8 more will drop from premium in the 2nd group stage. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2013_WCS_Season_1_Europe/Challenger | ||

It starts with 8 brackets of 4 players = 32 In the third round 8 more players are added from r2 premium = 8 32 + 8 = 40 Edit: I'll try to explain it with a picture from one of 8 brackets. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Eo4UdRm.jpg) | ||

Check this: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2013_WCS_Season_1_Europe/Challenger Bottom is the Bracket for the Bracket stage... The way I understand it is : ro40 is the 32 players from round 1 + 8 players from round 3 (aka : there are 40 players left in the bracket, even though 8 of them are not known yet) ro24 is the 16 players who won in round 1 and reached round 2 + 8 players from round 3 (aka : 24 players left) ro16 is self explanatory As for the bracket, I'm guessing the 32 people who did not win in round 3 get a spot in the "up and downs". | ||

Would participating in EU season 1 lock him there for season 2 or are you free to switch in between? He made it to Ro8, Ro32 and Ro16 in the premier qualifier after all, and laggy games is better than no games at all, I think. | ||

From https://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/8569308646 (1st paragraph) Can players change their World Championship Series region at any point during the year? For the 2013 World Championship Series only, there will be an optional, one-time region change between Season 1 and Season 2. Players who would like to compete in another region in Season 2 will need to play in the Season 1 Qualifier and Challenger Division of the region they are looking to switch to. This will essentially mean that there will be players finishing their Season 1 commitments in their current region, while establishing their position in a new region.Any requests for exceptions must be submitted to Blizzard and will be considered. | ||

Ok.I can see this,but still no sense.Why call the First round "40" if there are only 32 players in the first brackets? Only 16 will advace to round 2,the supposed "RO24".The winners from here are 8 of 16 and they go to the third and LAST round of another 16 players which are the 8 winners from round 2(Ro24) and the 8 players who got eliminated from the Group stage of 16 in the Premier. This is not all!!! After round 3 in Challenger the losers are going into Group stage of 8 groups with 4 players.8 from Rouns 3,8 from Round 2 and 16 from Round 1= 32 players needed for a Stage Group of 8 Groups with 4 players.Still cant see the logic of calling it RO40 and Ro24. In Korea it is much easier: RO48 into RO32(24 RO48 winners+8 RO32 CODE S losers) into RO 24(16 RO32 CODE A winners+8 CODE S RO16 losers). | ||

It should be Ro32 -> Ro24 -> Ro16 | ||

If you have a Ro64 bracket with walkovers for 8 seeded people (seeds 1-8) you would not call it a round of 56, would you? | ||
