And if it gave WCS points on its own it would allow for more chinese players to be seen internationally if they make it to blizzcon, etc. Are you sure? They would increase the GPL WCS points and prize pool, but it would completely omit the current WCS China WCS points and prize pool, thus resulting in less money and the same amount of points. Also, having 2 touraments allows players to be seen more, and the Chinese would keep the same amount of points. To me, it's like imaginging S2SL as a qualifier tournament for GSL (ofc this would never happen, but just talking here). S2SL remains an important tournament with prize money, but feeds into GSL which is the official WCS Korea tournament (like I said, none of this is true, but it's an imaginary scenario to use as an example). 2 tournaments, more money, same amount of points for the region. It's cooler to have more points to make the spread more even, but 2 tournaments seems better than 1 in every way I can see at the moment.. | ||

Unless Liquipedia is wrong GPL doesn't give WCS points at the moment | ||

From what I understand GPL will be the only qualifier, meaning they just take the top whatever from GPL and put them into WCS challenger - China division. Instead of your analogy, it would be more like how WCS 2013 worked where GSL fed into the WCS season finals, so the top 5 players in KR in that season just got thrown more money and the rest of the scene stayed the same. | ||

It's a bit different than that actually, at least on the money part, the tournament still has its own prize money, and if you made it into RO8 you get the guaranteed WCS Challenger and Premier money on top, yes it feeds into WCS but it's bigger than that. | ||

I'm learning more from this conversation, but it still seems to be that we have nothing to comlain about YET... What has happened is now Chinese players don't have to prove who's the best by trying to defeat the best foreigners with a whole ton of lag, now they can play against each other with minimal lag and get to prove themselves on the Chinese stage. After they have proven themselves and made money from being top 8 of China, they eliminate 4 of the top 8, and the other 4 move to Premier. The eliminated 4 still get an extra $2000 just for being there, so you can basically add $2000 to the top 8 prize pool of GPL and pretend nothing happened. Then the advancing 4 are guaranteed $4500... So basically, this gives Chinese players a better opportunity to play in a fair qualifier. It also allows them focus on this tournament, meaning players won't have to be training for 2 seperate opponents in 2 seperate tournaments, which is a good thing. It's all GPL for them, which gives us the highest quality games. Another thing to consider is that none of the other regions get money for their qualifiers... It's only China. So, you want them to consider GPL an equal to GSL and S2SL in the WCS world (at least that's what I think you want) but if that happens then Chinese players would never compete with any foreigners in WCS. They would just a higher GPL prize pool (but lower prize pool overall), and compete only with Chinese players until the very end. That would also give Chinese players much less opportunity to earn points. Even if this deal doesn't have the BEST of results, I still think it looks better than any other options as of right now. | ||
