I heard combined somewhere and that's the part that doesn't make any sense.

I thought they just said it would be GM NA would participate in NA qualifiers and EU GMs in the EU qualifiers. SEA/CN/TW players would have to get GM NA/EU to play in those or try and qualify for GSL if I remember but i guess they will probably release something more clear soon | ||

I'm thinking Korean to NA here, but so much is still up in the air. I could also see Sen trying NA, perhaps? | ||

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. Its going to be less points that the WCS events, so you can't just win those events. | ||

:/...the saddest part is I can see eSF and Kespa teams sending their bteamers over to NA-WCS and making NA-WCS some sort of training ground to get them into form. If using baseball terms.. WCS-KR will be MLB WCS-EU will become like Nippon Baseball League WCS-NA will become AAA baseball. | ||

Players in North America and Europe will be invited to kickoff Season 1 based upon their performances in 2012 across all leagues. Open qualifiers will also be held to determine the final player list. Additionally, the top 200 Grand Masters players on the StarCraft II Ladder will be invited to join the initial qualifiers. http://www.gamespot.com/news/blizzard-unveils-revamped-16-million-2013-starcraft-ii-tournament-season-6406325 | ||

This sounds like a way for them to screw over a bunch of worthy Korean players so they can put in a bunch of undeserving NA and EU players into the championships. Then they're ruining the two most prestigious tournaments in the Starcraft scene, GSL and OSL, by turning them into qualifiers. I don't understand Blizzard's fascination with ruining their own games. I'm guessing you've always hated WCG then. That's bsically what they've been doing since SC:BW. And the koreans always took 1-3 except that one year where there was chinese uprising | ||

The Korean players who can qualify via both EU and NA? If anything it helps the Koreans, giving them more reasons to venture abroad without necessarily harming their future prospects | ||

I guess if that's the case then that's cool. I figured ESL would go with their inhouse commentators similar to what people are saying of OGN. Nothing against Khaleris, Doa, and Monte Cristo (I rather like their casting), it's just that something this "hyped" should have the best of the best commentating IMO. | ||
