Knowing TB, it's not. He has enough retards to deal with with his YT activity, if on top of that he has to hear all the kids moaning about how axiom players are "invading" NA WCS, his head would explode. | ||

They will crush all hope once again and even more so. It comes down to which team they play for and their location. I'm pretty sure the biggest threats are still going to come from the ESF and KeSPA teams because they don't let up. | ||

Would you rather go through a brutal KR-GSL where you face high calibre opponents from the get-go (Qualifiers) Or would you go to a GSL-NA where the competition is a few players if the prize money is the same. I can totally see someone with free-reign (MC) doing that. If you stand a chance at winning GSL/OSL you fucking play there because it is the most prestigous tournament, the best competition, and has a really great prize pool at the end. It is a terrible move for their PR and their Skill for any Code S calibre player to come and play in the GSL-NA | ||

I think they are getting a new house for NA and Incontrol won't be living in it, but he will be nearby. They will run some kind of tournament from there, probably only online? EG Masters Cup maybe | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Q: What happens to OSL qualifiers/dual tournament system? Mr. Chae: Code A/DualTournament/etc have been combined into the "challenger league." It format is the same as Code A/Up-Downs. The qualifiers into the challenger league will be the same format as old Code B. Q: Korean players might have trouble earning WCS points in OSL/GSL. They might compete in EU/NA and sweep those regions. What do you think? Mike Morhaime: We expect this will happen to some degree, and it will ahve a positive impact on the rest of the world. Q: How will the the Korean broadcasts work for OGN/GomTV? A: The two broadcasters will take turns holding the WCS korea tourneys. OGN will receive feed from GomTV, but use theri own casters. Q: How will the three seasonal finals works? A: Top five players from each region will play in each seasonal final, +1 more player from the hosting region. Q: Why only have three regions? Mike Morhaime: looking at expanding in the future, but have to start somewhere. starting in most mature three regions. Q: Clarify the challenger league format, and more info on prize money please. Chae: Code A/Up-down format is the same, just named 'challenger league'. Same in the OSL run season as well. A: About $1.6million overall prize money, which is 3x what was given out last year. Q: How was the broadcasting rights/fees situation resolved? Mike Morhaime: All of the partners have received licenses. The exclusivity period has ended. Q: Any details on how WCS points are given out? Mike Morhaime: Additional details about WCS points to come later. Q: How will the team leagues/PL fit into all of this? Mike Morhaime: We will accomodate their schedules, but no points for team leagues for this year's season. | ||

Its better for the greater good to keep it strictly how they intended. I dont mind paying a little for vods since they cost money to do as long as its reasonable. No way. I want to see people that haven't been in the NA before representing the NA. Such a misnomer and a joke. People don't want Koreans, yet everyone is too politically correct to actually take concrete steps. So, you're left with experiments and finger crossing. Man up or just revert it back to how it was, jesus. | ||

It's a safe choice as they also seemed to not be certain at all about what the consequences were. | ||
