It would not make sense if ViBE received a spot and she did not as the winner of WCS Canada. | ||

Most countries didn't get an automatic seed. | ||

Well remember, WCS Germany gets a seed direct into worlds, while WCS Sweden doesn't. | ||

That is...interesting. I emailed someone from Blizzard to disucuss this, so hopefully I'll hear back soon. When I was at WCS NA, they definitely announced that he got a spot at world championship. | ||

Yeah that was my impression as well but then I saw the liquipedia article a while ago and figured I was mistaken. But then again, last time I looked, there were only 5 countries with direct seeds listed and now it's 6, and some of the seeding is still "TBA" under the continentals, so who knows. | ||

Click on the regions there. In the "Nationals Finals Information" box under each country there's either "Direct Seed to Global Finals: 1" or not. Only France, Germany, China, Russia, South Korea and Taiwan got one. I read somewhere that Blizzard based the direct seeds on the amount of copies of SC2 that sold in each country, but I can't remember the source for that. | ||

I think it would be a shame if a lot of countries got weeded out in the continentals and had no representative at the global finals. That goes against the whole world championship/olympic spirit of the thing. | ||

Once again, I had a large advantage from the start, safely managing to hatch first against a forge first opening, giving me confidence going into the midgame. This lady's incredible. Personally, I thought, with micro, you end up even with FFE, but she takes this as an advantage no problem. I played a very passive and tech focused build, going for very fast melee/armor upgrade, while fast teching to infestor broodlord off 4 base (after scouting Cyrano's fast 3rd). He tried to poke in once off 3 base with collosus/blinkstalker but retreated once seeing my creep spread with spines and infestor support. I knew at this point the game was already over I'd say this is the pinnacle of ZvP quoted confidence had Stephano not made his dissertation on it through games and quotes. Fast upgrades, fast tech off 4base vs 3rd (So far, reading this, I'm thinking normal game). But a failed poke and she has this period??? Damn. Wish I knew ZvP like this! | ||

That goes against the whole world championship/olympic spirit of the thing. I agree, Blizzard should have given a direct seed to every national champion. They could have easily done it by bumping the global finals from a 32 player to a 64 player tournament. 29 national champions + 26 from continental finals are 55 players, they'd just have to distribute 9 more seeds among the continentals. | ||
