In Korea, GSL will be take place for two seasons (one running very soon and the one after summer), while OSL will be held in the summer as the point arbitrator - Koreans and foreigners are not restricted by the regions, and can travel to every tournament to gain points. - MLG and IEM are simultaneously independent of the WCS system, which allows Koreans and foreigners outside of their region to participate - DreamHack, NASL, Iron Squid and other mid-tier tournaments will contribute to the point system, though at a lesser scale compared to the other regionals I don't see how this can work in a fair system. Players who can go to these tournaments get to collect extra points. If someone who does worse in the main WCS events can get ahead of someone who's done better by collecting points at DH that the other player can't go to for some reason, that doesn't sound right. | ||

However, the weekend MLG/IEM events will likely award WCS points as well. As will Dreamhack, NASL, Iron Squid, HSC, etc. "merge" might not be the correct word imo. GSL/OSL will only serve as the qualifier, as in, they still function normally but high finishers will get the chance to play in a Blizzard tourney called WCS. Nothing change for the Starleagues except some random name-changing And as much as $1.6M may sound, I believe Blizzard also saves a lot of fund by not holding their own qualifier (at least in Korea) like last year but rather assign it to GOM/OGN | ||

No offense to ESL, but a DH weekly would more than likely feature Apollo, who is the one of the top 2 casters. Fairly sure apollo will cast the ESL-WCS By the way, did they release informations regarding who can play the qualifiers for the eu/na wcs ? | ||

If it is totally separate, then why would Rain be seeded into GSL? | ||
