Kinda disappointing how all the people theoretically still fighting for Blizzcon did this tournament. Guess the top 8 is just too stable.

WCS has been this way for like three years but its still more exiting than GSL right


Weren't you the one complaining yesterday about Lambo getting to BlizzCon? He qualified in a very exciting turn of events, if he didn't Reynor would have with a single WCS presence; not to mention Has and Mana both miracolously reaching a WCS final.
The top eight Circuit sent to BlizzCon was very different from the best eight players there were, you are just complaining for the sake of it.


When was I complaining? I made a joke That Lambo not making blizzcon this year makes up for him getting in last year over better players.

The top 8 of every WCS has been stagnant since forever. It's usually the same player winning every time, and the same roster of players making top 8 (obviously fluctuating depending on brackets). Someone even did the stats in the "WCS>GSL" article last year and proved its much more repetitive than GSL/any korean event in terms of who makes top 8 each event.

You can't list one or two decent storylines and act like the WCS top 8 isn't stagnant. The top 8 of WCS rankings is almost the exact top 8 in this tourney, and that's something thats happened multiple times before


The term "stagnant" is so out of place here that it makes me laugh.
It's like saying Code S is stagnant because Maru repeadetly won it; this year, WCS top 8 has been extremely consistent, and this will result in having roughly the best possible Circuit players at BlizzCon. I wouldn't bet on having the same ones next year, new players are improving and some old players are showing brilliance again.

The Circuit in 2016 was completely unpredictable, last year it definitely showcased more variance than this one, and in 2017 the top 8 was quite stable; I can't really share your point of view.

Feel free to explain how having the same "stable" or "consistent" top 8 at nearly every wcs doesn't feel stagnant?

If you look at every Korean event for the last two years there is a lot more variance, we aren't getting the same tournament every time. Hence my original post that was joking at the people claiming wcs is more exiting.

I never said that? I said the korean events aren't nearly as repetitive. Maybe that will change when half the koreans retire and more foreigners emerge.

Most of them would have at least a year left before service. Just need a GSL to play in next year.

When was I complaining? I made a joke That Lambo not making blizzcon this year makes up for him getting in last year over better players.

The top 8 of every WCS has been stagnant since forever. It's usually the same player winning every time, and the same roster of players making top 8 (obviously fluctuating depending on brackets). Someone even did the stats in the "WCS>GSL" article last year and proved its much more repetitive than GSL/any korean event in terms of who makes top 8 each event.

You can't list one or two decent storylines and act like the WCS top 8 isn't stagnant. The top 8 of WCS rankings is almost the exact top 8 in this tourney, and that's something thats happened multiple times before


The term "stagnant" is so out of place here that it makes me laugh.

WCS top 8 has been extremely consistent

in 2017 the top 8 was quite stable

Feel free to explain how having the same "stable" or "consistent" top 8 at nearly every wcs doesn't feel stagnant?

If you look at every Korean event for the last two years there is a lot more variance, we aren't getting the same tournament every time. Hence my original post that was joking at the people claiming wcs is more exiting.


So Korean scene is more healthy with upcoming fresh blood ?

I think the gist is that there's more than 8 or 10 good players in Korea lol.


Oh, I guess this narrative is already an improvement, it was only serral 6 months ago.

Good relative to their own field. In WCS there's 8-10 players that will make up the top 8 almost every time. In korea there's a much greater pool.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs
