A lot can change in this amount of time. :D Just checked. 5 of them are from 2 months ago, 3 from 1 month ago. lol Also Oz is 6-1 in PvZ in WCS AM S3. Oz 8-2, Soulkey 7-3. Oz > Soulkey?  Naniwa fans are about to cry. Thank god i hate Naniwa. | ||

Taeja) whereas lesser known players or players in financially strapped teams (ex. maru) would have trouble flying to these events. Though, I get the idea that those tournaments should be worth something which I agree. Maybe a little less than what they are worth now since a large portion of the player pool isn't able to play. Though Blizzard already made the points less than WCS so my argument would be more of how much each tournament should be worth and that's extremely subjective. Oh wells. It is what it is. IMO, that's quite fair. It's the players' problems (or teams' problem) if they can or cannot participate in certain tourneys. It's not the fault of the system. Those tournaments were open to anyone willing to participate, only the teams don't want to or can't send their players. So it's actually unfair if you reduce the worth of the tournaments in term of points rewarded because "large portion of the player pool isn't able to play" | ||

On a different note, if Soulkey and Trap win, WCS KR will be 4/4 fin Ro4 for the first time (it was 3/4 and 2/4 before). | ||

The only seriously established top players in here are Maru and Soulkey. Obviously, MC and MMA are long time champions, but both of them are players with very unstable results. And the rest? Oz, Dear, Trap, ByuL - is there anyone who would predict these four to be where they are half a year ago? People are complaining about seeing the same players over and over, but the competition is actually pretty fresh. On a different note, if Soulkey and Trap win, WCS KR will be 4/4 fin Ro4 for the first time (it was 3/4 and 2/4 before). Well, the jump of Dear was unexpected to be THAT fast but what happened, that happened, Trap have shown alot of potential in his OSL Ro16 group, including storm drops and just barely lost to SuNo on fire. ByuL just demonstrates how many talent Korea has. Hell, once he passed qualifier he went on to get runner up spot in WCS AM final, losing only to CapAmerica. | ||

So it's actually unfair if you reduce the worth of the tournaments in term of points rewarded because "large portion of the player pool isn't able to play" There isn't even an argument to be had about this issue. It is a fact that it is unfair. The only way it's fair is when you change the nature of the competition to include means for travel. That is, if we wanted the champion to be someone who is not only good at SC2 but also good at traveling the world, then it'd be fair to test their ability to travel the world. As long as the purpose of our competitions is SC2, it is unfair when travel becomes an overwhelming factor. | ||
