Seriously? 17 minutes from now without a formal announcement from MLG or Blizzard? I guess no one is competing in WCS NA.

Source is from the latest ITG when Artosis spoiled that WCS Season 1 finals are in Korea. | ||

Source is from the latest ITG when Artosis spoiled that WCS Season 1 finals are in Korea. Therefore probably Season 2 finals in NA and Season 3 finals in EU, because with Blizzcon as the Grand Finals they most likely won't want to hold two events in a row in NA.

Seems like this could have been done better Most things about WCS so far scream "this could have been done better". | ||

I would even be okay with korea WCS earn twice as much as NA/EU, but that's not going to happen | ||

I have no clue either, but MLG is in charge of NA, so you should probably contact MLG folks like Adam or whoever is responsible for stuff like that. If it's invite-only I'm going to cry a little. | ||

Very high chance, although there is a possibility that Blizzard will help them out in some way considering they won their region's WCS finals last year. I remember reading this in a tweet from a Blizzard eSports / Community rep. | ||

I'd much prefer something like: 1st place: $20,000 2nd place. $15,000 3rd/4th place: $8,000 5th place: $5,500 6th place: $4,200 7th place: $3,500 8th place: $3,000 9th-12th place: $2,000 13th-16th place: $1,500 17th-24th place: $1000 25th-32nd place: $750 I know $15k is a lot to cut off the top, but I think it's better to spread the wealth around seeing how much WCS has condensed worldwide. For a long time I've though prize pools were way too top heavy. As much a I like rewarding skill, I think rewarding time, money and effort are just as important to promote growth & ensure the people below the top stick around. | ||

EDIT: Answer from EG Manager. https://twitter.com/gosutrolling/status/321471778708930560 Wow 24 invites is still fucking stupid but oh well that's how most tournaments are 90% invites with a small portion of qualifiers. If koreans really do play in NA/EU wcs I bet koreans take those  . | ||

I agree, especially considering the top 5 go to the season finals and get to play in a 16 man tournament with a $100,000 prize pool right after the regional finals. They really don't need the prize pool to be top heavy for that reason. | ||
