Yes, of course the WCS final will be considered. To be clear, the only reason WCS qualifiers aren't counted is because they're region locked. All players announced are confirmed for season 4. They have all accepted. | ||

Now with Taeja, Liquid is gonna own this tournament!! Liquid has a very strong presence indeed, seeing that Sheth, TLO and Zenio are all qualified for season five. + Show Spoiler + Nony was right all along! | ||

Admittedly, the decay is the part of our system that we're the most unsure of. Ultimately we decided a win should be relevant for a year, and that other results should be proportionally relevant on a sliding scale. We'll see what the rankings look like in a year, and if need be, will make some changes. Honestly, though, I think it's pretty damn solid right now. In all fairness, your ranking is the best out of all the leagues. It does reward consistency than flavors. It can however, be even more consistent. | ||

Umm what? There have only been 3 GSL's this year. That's less events than most of the other leagues you listed and no where near once per month. | ||

GSL is highly regarded in many people's eyes (especially my own). I don't take the tournament lightly in the slightest. However, if we have to be honest with ourselves, it's a complete biased situation. GSL measures different kinds of skill compared to other tournaments. We have players that get far into GSL that aren't necessarily on top all the time. Players that succeed at GSL won't succeed in other tournaments and vice versa. We try to remove as much human judgment as possible to have an objective system. For now, until we can get a strong measurement of why GSL is better objectively (and I want a reason to say this because I believe it is), we'll stick to this system. | ||

Interesting piece of Trivia: Nerchio was one of our invites, but he declined participation in the league, allowing us to invite someone lower than him on our international ranking. Wow, you're nerchio's biggest fanboy and he declined to be cast by you every week? Sorry to say, but doesn't sound like he's returning your love.  | ||

Unrequited love. The story of my life.  And just to reassure everyone, all four of these guys have accepted, and will participate in season 4. | ||

I bought the first NASL season ticket to support foreign tournaments. But Season 1 was a big let down. So I haven't purchased since. But if you're telling me DongRaeGu will be at the tournament. ...you can count on my support...along with my friends'. Here's to giving NASL another chance. | ||
