How many total people are going to be in the season finals? There's five from NA, but it doesn't mention for EU or KR.

Seriously? 17 minutes from now without a formal announcement from MLG or Blizzard?

I guess no one is competing in WCS NA.


5 NA, 5 EU, 6 KR. Source is from the latest ITG when Artosis spoiled that WCS Season 1 finals are in Korea.

So they are inviting players to the top tier? I guess that was the notify by today? Everyone else has to qualify for challenger division then? Seems like this could have been done better

i have, and it's a joke

the competition in korea is much tougher than it is in NA/EU...so someone who makes it to Code S RO16, for example, shouldn't make as much money as someone who makes it to RO16 in NA

Any chance some players from SEA or TW (i.e. Moonglade or Sen) will play on NA?

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.

Isn't that what they basically announced for "Code S" and then qualifiers online for "Code A" or did I misinterpret something horribly?

I don't really like that prize distribution considering what we know so far. 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.
