EU is probably more like the Euro-League in Basketball . A couple of decent teams/players that could take games off NBA teams / Koreans here and there but nothing sustainable. | ||

Not if they go to the same event and get the same number of points. If another player does well at Dream Hack, they should be rewarded. Also, life isn't fair. Get a helmet. | ||

Yeah. This is new territory for us, but to be honest, I do like this system more than even the LCS LoL thing. We are not losing the other side dishes even if we get this meal of epic proportions. | ||

Since Korea is starting now and plans for all regions should have been made a long time ago by everyone involved, I'd give it two weeks tops before things get rolling. They have about two months to finish Season 1 before the finals happen and with the early stages consisting of such a big player pool it sounds pretty time-consuming. | ||

WCS is controlled by Blizzard and it looks like all the organizations are being strong-armed into it at risk of another Blizzard lawsuit. They're monopolizing the entire pro Starcraft scene, which wouldn't be such a bad thing if their track record wasn't so terrible. I don't see the problem. OSL and GSL are still crowning champions. It's just that those who end up at the top happen to get some points for WCS. It's not much different than NASCAR. There's still a winner of the Daytona 500 every year, along with a big ceremony afterwards, but placement matters in Sprint cup points. Nobody pays attention to the points until after the race is long over. If anything it'll give people rooting for specific players something to cheer for regardless if they win or not (IE, Innovation just needs to get to the round of 8 to stay #1 in the points standings). | ||

People want to see the best Players and no one has the time to watch WCS Korea, if it starts at 0600 - 1100. Kid, 99.9% here have never seen a Baseball Game and couldn't care less. Use football terms like Champions League, UEFA Cup etc... Yes calling me kid will definitely elicit a pleasant response from me. I'm pretty sure I'm older than you too. The soccer reference is pretty easy... WCS-KR = UEFA Champions League (Premier league, La Liga teams etc) WCS-EU = AFC Champions League WCS-NA = CONCAFF Champions League | ||

Unless I heard incorrectly, they are still carrying over players. Nothing changes, everybody starts fresh (except for Rain/DRG/MC/Last/GSL seeds) Prelims-->ODT-->OSL. Top 5 qualifies for WCS2, points given accordingly etc | ||

I've considered for a while about making a blog about how Korea is very much like the inner city culture we have in America in terms of basketball and how some Euros can come over and compete but it's really hard for non-city guys (NA players). | ||

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: Can you clarify the challenger league format, and comment in more detail about the prize money? Mr Chae: Code A/Up-down format is the same, just named 'challenger league'. Same in the OSL run season as well. | ||
