Totally agree with incontrol. When I think of european SC2 i think of Dreamhack.

Some people seem confused regarding the casting of Proleague. Those casters will be unchanged, as will the season/format.


as expected.

So, Blizzard wants to be the new Kespa. Big surprise :/


To grow eSports worlwide it's the best possible solution.

Blizzard can never be the new KeSPA, with both GOM and KeSPA having (or will have) more than 1 game.

Okay, trying to find loopholes:

What if CranK plays all the NA events on the ladder/online and dominates NA like he did several seasons ago (as LiquidBisu) and TB sends him to the MLG LANs? He could take an NA slot from Korea?
Who's the bigger scrub, the scrub, or the scrub who loses to him?

Whoever wants to?
Players must choose which region they want to play for the whole year. Can play in any non-WCS events they want to.

Unless Dreamhack was completely left out of all negotiations from the beginning, these tweets from Robert Ohlen are fucking whiny as shit. If it was an open bid for proposals and they just lost, they really have no reason to be so obnoxious.

If there were completely shafted, then I don't see why they wouldn't just say so.

y is everyone complaining about region locks? players can still attend NON WCS tournaments anywhere they want

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


I think this will make Dreamhack THE tournament to watch though, because they will be one of the few ones with players from all regions.

MLGs? IEMs? etc.

Only WCS events are locked.


Yeah but Dreamhack will be the biggest brand not doing WCS, so their events will probably end up being the best. Unless somehow doing WCS 3 times a year doesn't decrease the value of the MLG and IEM major events at all.

There's only one additional event for each of the organizers as they spread the three finals across the three regions.

I don't think it'll devalue it and MLG still has the Kespa exclusivity, don't they?

And DreamHack events always feel like THE tournament to watch when they're on.

What's gonna be ridiculous is if Koreans try to play in the American/European leagues online because it's an easier field

I guess some of the code b koreans might try?

As Geoff is, I too am (unhappily) surprised that Blizzard picked IEM over Dreamhack. At least players will get a few points from playing well in Dreamhack.

So no Koreans beside Polt/Violet at MLG anymore? Looks like MLG will lose alot of Viewers. Who cares to see alot of these terrible NA players try to avoid playing Polt+Violet?

Me being from Chile and SA. I just feel like we're just fucked :/.

National WCS and South america Finals was the best thing ever...


Killer can still qualify for North America Finals, hes pretty good. And there's no SA server only NA so they wont do anything specific to South America.

South Americans players will play the NA championship for sure. Just the level of the players remain to be seen!

TeamLiquidnet: Players can can pick what region they want to play in. Not nationality restricted. But they are locked into the region they select.

Yeah I know anyone can. I'm just curious who you guys think the top players are that will qualify for the spots

They need the funding though to go to the LANs. I could see Axiom going for it, as they'll likely be going to MLG anyway.
