On the other hand it's great to see how SC2 is growing on China and all these events like both team leagues, next, Gold, etc. Really happy for this. | ||

The players, prizepool, format, etc, are all independent of such labels and they remain unchanged no matter what liquipedia happens to say. WCS is not GSL no matter what their labels are, nor are different HSCs any greater or lesser because of it. You can call a duck a horse, but it will still quack all the same. Once the totally arbitrary criteria are decided, one would imagine they are going to be respected; consistency is what we are discussing here. | ||

But as others pointed out, they are already highly inconsistent. Different HSCs are labelled differently, WCS is labelled the same as GSL, etc. Arguing over this particular tournament is just closing the stable after the horse has bolted. In any case, the change to Premier was made by CynicalDeath (the guy who basically runs the wiki) and I'd rather not cross him by changing it back. It's just one more inconsistency among many. Speaking of the wiki though, the Achievements table has this tournament dated as 2018-06-16 instead of 2019-06-16. I can't for the life of me find out how or where this Achievements table can be edited, but somebody who does know might want to fix that. | ||

I can't for the life of me find out how or where this Achievements table can be edited, but somebody who does know might want to fix that. There are inconsistencies, both Majors being labeled as Premiers(of the HSCs, XVIII alone not being Premier is a big question mark, to me; NEO SL 2016, definitely looks like a Premier tournament;the GFinity G3 Bunny won, even if maybe only 12 people doesn't cut the mark, just as for Hangzhou Carnival; Campus Party Europe 2012, I believe it could be a Premier; LG Cinema 3D Special League 2011, also unclear to me why it is a Major) and Premiers which may be Major(mostly the tournament we are discussing of and the two SSL Challenge in 2017: few players, very low prize and a being a lower division of a more prestigious tournament; Code A in 2011 was at least a more crowded competition). Out of 500/600 non minor Sc2 tournaments, I would not say there are many dubious cases; in any of case, Liquipedia is not immutable, I think those can be discussed and, if necessary, modified. WCS events being Premier as much as GSL ones is not and cannot be inconsistency, on the other hand. | ||
