Nerchio, on the other hand, can't gain any points from the current GSL while you will, so this is a bit of a different story. Although I didn't know WCS kr points count for the circuit as well. | ||

They don't. Scarlett, Major, Elazer, Time and Noregret have WCS Korea points and WCS Circuit points but they are not combined | ||

Looks like the groups are going to stand (which makes sense since it would just cause more confusion to change them after they were announced) | ||

Edit: Haven't really been following that much WCS so that might be the norm now, but as a quick look feels weird. | ||

As others have pointed out, using WCS points for bracket seeding means we will see the same kind of bracket often, as almost every player is in each tournament where those WCS points could be acquired, and differences could be made. However, this speaks volumes about the consistency of the top players, if they keep reaching the same results over and over again. This would also mean there is very little luck involved in pro matches which is nice, right.  It sucks seeing the same matches repeat but if they insist on using this kind of seeding, and not random pairing from he groups, then WCS points is probably the most accurate and transparent form of seeding we currently have, as Aligulac and Ladder points will not do. | ||
