They basically just brought back ladder seasons from warcraft III, exported them to SC2, and gave the newer tournament organizations some live event value.

I just hope the NA/EU regions aren't just Koreans who don't mind being stuck there all year/playing with lag.

Thing is, just NASL and DreamHack feels restricted compared to the absolute freedom players had before.

If this tournament-structure isn't inclusive, if it isn't open to new tournament players.. it's kinda shit.

I think Iron Squid is on hiatus anyways. They said something about not sure about hosting any more at the last finals if I remember right

Incontrol and Stream chat made a good point. Dreamhack doesn't have a venue themselves.

Why? Players can still attend those tournaments, yes?

Absolutely not, because they are non-region locked and some of them will even give out WCS points.

Shaun Clark @ApolloSC2 54s

"Points will be rewarded throughout the year and will meet at Blizzcon to find out who is the global champ - Next year will be 4seasons


TeamLiquid @TeamLiquidnet 41s

Points earned for performance during the seasonal leagues, season finals, and some qualifying non-WCS tourneys. Top placers to go blizzcon.


Some additional clarification on other tournaments and the future of WCS in 2014.

How is the prize pool split? If it's equally split throughout all three regions, then that would be a joke.

No, I don't think that will happen at all. Also, there are too many tournaments right now. It has been said over and over again that the scene is oversaturated. Just like any sport, there are minor tournaments going on all the time, but there aren't major tournaments going on all the time like SC2 has. A lot of the major tournaments will stay, and so will the minor ones, but they will become more spread out which is good.

EDIT: I'm a frieking high templar. Life is good.
