You don't know how Geography works.

By your logic they should make S. Korea a completely different continent instead, just to give the Chinese a fighting chance.

They should.

I don't care about how geography works - this is SC 2, not geography. Besides which, going by geography, there are seven continents in the scheme that divides Europe from Eurasia - where's the African and Antarctica tournaments?

The logic for excluding those regions is the same for not having separate tournaments for NA and SA, Oceania and SEA - the scenes in those regions aren't big and mature enough. There are no SC 2 scenes in Africa and Antarctica, so Blizzard skipped them. But the scenes in SA, Oceania, and Southeast Asia are likewise underdeveloped, and their servers are combined with other servers for a reason. NA + SA is one scene in practice, and the same for Oceania + SEA.

This is a ploy for making the tournament look continental when the scene isn't, and the results are going to embarrass the players in those regions.

I'm not that excited since I feel the player pool is too small. There is almost no essential difference in any tournament right now since we have a really small, constant, pool of top players. Blizzard should invest more work into the game itself and hopefully these new formats will attract new players.

As far as pro-scenes go, this is how it works in SC 2.

The major scenes:

Korea
NA + SA
Europe

The minor scenes:

Oceania + SEA
China
Taiwan

Six scenes in total. The reason Taiwan is separate from China is separate from Korea is because that's how their tournaments and leagues are - Taiwanese players play TESL, Chinese players play G-League and NSL, Koreans play GSL and EMW, with minimal overlap.

First question that came to mind is can you watch the stream within Starcraft 2?

This is like WCG, except it will be better. Why? It will be dedicated to SC2, this means more time for it. WCG's SC2 was way too short, because they had other games too.

I'm really looking forward to see the prizepool. This might definitly be the reaction from Blizzard to the amounts of money Riot pays for tournements...

More or less as expected after the announcement of the announcement. I hope the competitiveness of the global tournament won't be ruined by one nation dominating global play (*glares at S.Korea*)

Will Blizzard be launching/announcing any training initiatives? Something akin to the Redbull lan, or perhaps to pre-season games/camps in most sports?
