Technically, the UTC must be defended in a broadcasted match, while the others only need to be defended at a broadcasted tournament. But the UGC is definitely going to the WCS finals (not "grand finals", those are at the end of the year), depending on what happens in Proleague the UWC might as well...

This is basically what everyone feared when Bear won the UWC. Fortunately we decided to count Code A qualifiers, or he'd still be champ probably

Bear would still be champ...possibly DESERVEDLY.

I dont like the Code A games in there :/

I'm guessing it was kept in the UWC for consistency (which has been broken by including the Bear loss so I dunno) or because its brand as a tournament was already pretty embedded into our minds.

Well the original rule was all broadcast major and premier tournaments, iirc.
Code A quals were broadcast that season, though only some of the games, and it's the qualifiers for a premier tournament. So it makes sense to count it, though it is kinda iffy.

These titles look like boxing titles. I'm sure there are protocols for retiring champs in there.

As for only some of the games being broadcasted it would be stupid to exclude tournaments that don't broadcast every game because anything like MLG would not be counted.
edit: Also next defence is 3rd June vs. JangBi 2012-2013 Proleague/Round 6

I believe a Flash win and then Roro > Flash ace match is, at this point, the only hope of UWC going to the WCS finals, and thus unifying with the UGC. That's entirely possible, though...

I didn't realize this was actually Flash's first time having the title. I thought he got it once a little while back for some reason.

I hope Flash can take the championship out of PL.

we have tournaments like the Samsung European Encounter included
it fits criteria fine, so it's included

CranK defends the UGC against aLive today, and tomorrow the winner of WCS America will be the UGC.

Bear is still the only true UTC! Long live Bear!
