The prizepool is not only big, but also the duel system is really cool.

Good to see, that SC Boys will give us some fine Kespa vs Foreigner Starcraft action.

Chinese offical message (writen by XTeam.Xiaose): http://bbs.niuyou5.com/thread-2255756-1-1.html
the third international invitee is (Z)Snute.
Korean Qualifier = Open Non-Chinese Qualifier
Chinese Qualifier including players from Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan
For example,
(Z)Alopex should only participate in Korean Qualifier.
(P)Pigeon and (Wiki)CNProtoss should only participate in Chinese Qualifier.

We are still in talks with Snute but he is at DH right now so I didn't include that in the OP.

EDIT: Snute just confirmed his participation.

It's the alot of tournaments need to look at prize money. You shouldn't show up, play great games, actually win some and go home with nothing
If all men were created equal there would be no reason to declare it.

Remember Naniwa's probe rush? Granted with this prize money system players have more incentive to play "meaningless games", but still, that creates more issues than it fixes.

Full online cup?

How much gets the winner without dropping a map?
My math says: 2x $456 + 2x $760 + $4256 + $1824 = $8512

Haven't seen him in LotV yet, but he improved a lot in late HotS. Problem being that TY is incredibly strong in TvT aswell.

TY is the best TvT player statistically of all kespa terrans I think.

That was an interesting attack. A single tank and medivac with 6 reapers. I wonder what he had planned.

Those initial reapers delayed that attack so much. Makes me think reapers might have utility in the mid game in TvT.

He is, he also hasn't lost a single TvT series in LotV yet. But he's also like 0-8 against INnoVation historically.

Watching the vod, and I heard the caster say that lack of Mauruader vs Ravager/roach was going to bite him.

Seriously, does this caster even watch any pro tvz's? Marine/Tank is the standard at high level play vs Ravager/Roach. Noone skilled goes Maurauders.

He has to mix it up for the next tournament tho. I bet the next Terran will be well prepared against DT builds.

I think he only goes DTs when he sees he can do damage, and thankfully he generally doesn't do it on low economy so he can always fall back to something if they don't do a lot. But he does love his DTs right now, wow.

Well okay then, I guess PvT is a non-issue for Zest now. I'm fine with that.

E: Mutas look completely broken in ZvZ tbh

What if the Grand Finals is Zest vs TY and KT plays the Proleague round playoffs that weekend and wants them both to stay in Korea? Switch to online?

That's why it is not confirmed yet, technically they can play proleague on the 26th then fly in on the 27th, it's a two hour flight from Seoul to Shanghai afterall.

It was the first thing that came to my mind, you're right ofc. And it's completely hypothetical regardless.

We might not be able to host the finals at WCS Shanghai event due to various schedule and commitment reasons, but we are still working on having some sort of KFC content at the event.

Updated the schedule in OP, basically due to WCS Circuit Shanghai KFC is being postponed into April due to all the qualifiers taking up time, especially Chinese qualifier being a full GPL season.

Well, 4 groups, 5/16 is korean.
if it is all random, odds to have a group without Korean is actually pretty high.

But honestly, for the entertainment factor, I don't mind the organizers do something to give foreigners a small edge.

So you see, chances for a group without Koreans were actually not that high.
