The number 1 headband currently belongs to sOs for winning Blizzcon, the number 2 headband belongs to Jaedong for getting 2nd. If the #2 beats the #1 then they switch headbands. If someone without a headband beats the #2 then they take it. The #1 can only lose their headband to someone with the #2. This will be tracked for any tournament that gives WCS points. So right now sOs has the #1 headband and Jaedong has the #2 headband. Jaedong's next tournament is ASUS ROG (at least for tournaments that give WCS points). If Jaedong beats someone at ASUS ROG, then he keeps his #2 headband. Let's say Jaedong loses to Taeja, Taeja takes the #2 headband and Jaedong now has no headband. sOs's next tournament is GSL Code S. If sOs loses to someone who doesn't have a headband, like Maru, then nothing happens. However if Dear beats Jaedong to take the #2 headband, and then Dear with the #2 headband beats sOs, Dear now has the #1 headband and sOs is demoted down to #2 headband. A little complicated haha but I thought it could be fun, and I'm gonna add something to highlight upcoming headband defense matches, with #1 vs #2 being a big deal. | ||

Now I kind of want Dear to win so he can go trade the headband in the GSL. | ||

When a new PvT meta is discovered or a new terran favored patch comes out, then you can have your fun back. | ||
