I guess there is a good chance this will turn out to be mostly koreans but honestly I think it should be if this is a WCS. I wonder what format the final 16 will be, because having a tournament this big end up with just a knockout tournament or something like it would be silly. I hope for something like a week offline finals with pools and bo7s to determine the winner. | ||

(ie, OSL and GSL shouldn't be devaluated because of Koreans trying to find easier leagues to qualify from.) 2) They should have made GSTL and PL into one big team league and give out points for wins towards the global tournament. Team leagues are a very important part of Starcraft and they shoudn't be underrated. They also could have taken the Tennis system. WCS finals could be the end-of-season ATP finals, every tournament could be a Grand Slam, Major, Challenger,etc. | ||

Why would a Top Korean go through the much harder Korean qualification when he can just play on NA without a too noticable delay. (KR to EU will probably not happen that much because of this) Does KR really get worse ping to Europe? Thats strange because Europe is physically closer to Korea than North America. | ||

I have nothing to say about the koreans-can-play-anywhere thing though because that's ultra stupid and will only cause problems in the long run. | ||

Winning a GSL should be a huge deal but many don't even remember Seed winning it because one GSL isn't worth much when you have 10 a year. The most prestigious sporting events in the world are the olympics and the world cup in soccer largely because they happen rarely. I think 2 GSL and 2 OSL a year is pretty much perfect for the scene. | ||
