This could have all been avoided by raising the prize pool for WCS Korea and keeping the old format.

Given a few seasons, we'll have a who's who of sub-Code S Koreans representing every region in the WCS. Should be fun. I look forward to the 2015 WCS, where Koreans from all corners of the World will collide in an international(!?) contest of skill, where the National Pride of Korea is put to the ultimate test. Shit, with any luck, NA might actually take a WCS championship!

I kind of agree with the general sentiment from the Koreans and some of the foreigners, it feels really messed up that, potentially choosing to play in one of the primer tournaments, if not the best tournament in the world as far as skill and difficulty, the GSL, could potentially lock you out of playing more tournaments.

GSL is already huge commitment, you have to be in Korea for two months, you need to prepare and practice diligently for several series with different opponents playing different races and vastly different styles within even the same race. We've seen in the past how hard it is to maintain code S status while traveling abroad, it used to be, and still is a major achievement to win several tournaments back to back in a short period of time due to travel making you miss out on practice and sleep + giving opponents opportunities to study your style.

From what I'm understanding now however, its quite likely we won't have situations like that occur any more, and its a damn shame because it created some epic storylines. I don't understand the decision regarding the formatting at all as far as Korea goes. Its probably too late to change Blizzard's mind for this year, but next year they should just host separate qualifiers for Korea and the rest of the world and have premier tournaments like GSL, MLG, DH, NASL, IEM etc give out 2-4 seeds each to the WCS seasonal.
