The ladder map pool is really not that bad anymore. There's no close spawns Shattered like last time.

Can't help but notice they labeled something "world champions" but exclude a whole continent, Africa.

I don't really see the point or fairness in these type of tournaments. It's just gonna be either a korean smashing everyone, or some random non-korean getting lucky in a few BO3's in a row, cause a "zomg new talent" type of vibe on the net and then disappear cos he actually sucks and can't repeat a once in a lifetime fluke.

Also, if the qualifiers and finals are played on different patches then it kind of defeats the purpose of the tour,
if they push out a major balance patch in the middle of the tournament then it really screws with the whole process.

Sorry, not thrilled about this at all

I like the idea with continets but its not fair. far from fair.
Everyone knows that North- south america and Oceania is worse then Asia and Europe. So like the players that come in round of 36 in korea and round 8 in Europe is better then the best players in North- south america and Oceania.
So what i say is that i would like 8 players from North- South America.
2 from Oceania.
8 from Europe.
16 from Asia.
Or something like that.

I think this will be AWESOME! But to send the same amount of players from Europe as from Oceania or North America is not good, they need to divide Europe into south/north or east/west.

Looks like Blizzard finally wants to really support SC2 as an esport.

Next step:

Rebuilding BNET 2.0 so that one day there will be LAN for truly impressive micro and spectacular no drop finals :D

To everyone complaining about regional/continental qualifiers:

Do you know its not much different from how the FIFA World Championship works and to some extent the olympics?

Do you think countries like New Zealand or Iran would stand any chance of qualifying to the WC if they were put in the EU bracket?
Ofc they wouldnt but if you pretty much exclude entire continents you dont get the message out to everyone of how great a sport this is. It is in EVERYONES interest to have a playing field that represents a majority of the world. Otherwise you could just call it GSL, MLG or IPL where we see the same names dominate again and again.

Why would we want/need another tourny like that? Answer is we dont!

Muahahahaha it's Blizzard silly fool! Bringing back scrap station and steppes just for this tourney is more likely than not using the map pool. All spawns disabled BUT close.

Yeah, Koreans are likely going to place highest anyways, so they should really acknowledge this and give other players a better chance.

This is what I imagined WCG could have been, you know, if it wasn't god awful.

This looks great

seems great, hopefully a few more countries are added to the list. Also, Korea should have been by itself, the chinese players wont be able to qualify now.
