south america and north america should be 1 and SK should be seperated from asia. It's really not fair since there are probably 200+ players in asia who could beat the best south american player. Also oceania should join up with asia.

For some reason this reminds me of the Hunger Games. "At your continent’s Finals, you’ll be up against other National Champions all vying to earn the right to represent their country and continent at the Battle.net World Championship" Sounds like a bunch of tribute vying to represent their districts.

So we're basically trying to find out which korean is the best before Heart of the Swarm comes out. Jokes aside, it will probably be a high quality event (last Blizzcon sure was) but I just can't feel the "WORLD championship" hype when 99% of us already predict a korean winner.

Wow this is very naïve, they let the best players of each selected continent duke it out in the finals, just because the koreans are better it's not a world championship?

Korea should have a separate division. C'mon, let's give a fighting chance to other asians.

Only a tourney of THIS caliber can determine the BEST player in the WORLD.

Wow.

We've been waiting for something like this for so long, ever since WCG started its decline.
Hopefully this can stay around, I'm really interested in following the development of this tournament as a spectator, because there's no way I can compete. >.<

Oh thats actually a really cool point. Like besides the fact that we have pretty much close to no idea when hots will come out, this might really end up being what you said. Speculation: HOTS beta date announcement at this event.

Terrible idea to put Korea, Taiwan, China, and Singapore together. That limits all the skills and only gives a small showcase of how much talent is stored within all 4 of those massive countries (Except for Singapore) in the StarCraft community!
