We don't have to on account of this being WCS (not code A qualifiers). Second, not all the code A qualifiers were cast. | ||

I've just had a look and it doesn't change anything (although there are a couple of nailbiting moments with Curious and Baby both qualifying while UWC). | ||

So, will the first stages of the biggest SC2 tournament in the world be counted out of the UWC processus because they're online even so they are more important than korean code B (and belonging to the same tournament) ? | ||

According to Blizzard, each region is equal in terms of prize pool / tournament format, etc. However, korean qualifiers (which is not the tournament itself) are played offline but neither the EU/NA qualifiers nor the first group stage will be. So, will the first stages of the biggest SC2 tournament in the world be counted out of the UWC processus because they're online even so they are more important than korean code B (and belonging to the same tournament) ? Well, if Opterwon's rule is there to discount cross-server lag, and other uncertainties that come with online play, then, yes, it's reasonable to discount the online part of WCS. In fact, the online part of WCS is probably going to have all the ills of such online tournaments as TLS and MLG v. Proleague. And it would take away from the legitimacy of UWC (also known as fun), if the award bounces through random games where lag might play a major role. On the other hand, if we do not allow Code B, despite it being played live and broadcasted because it's a qualifier, then we're also in trouble because we set a precedent that suggests we cannot count code A because it has the same structure as Code B: there is no winning player, it merely determines who is qualified for Code S. | ||

This isn't a problem with the UWC, this is a problem with WCS being thrown together with little preparation and poor structure outside of Korea. I have yet to talk to a single manager or player that feels WCS EU/NA should be online for as long as it is heh. | ||
