Format is simples!

Online:
Open cup -> Top 4 progress to qualifier
Qualifier = Top 4 from Open + 12 from regional WCS Points -> Top 2 qualify for event (with hotel/flight paid)

Event:
Open bracket = Two 8 player double elim brackets -> Top 2 from each qualify for event
Groupstage = 8 qualified + 4 open bracket + 4 from WCS points (global) -> Dual tournament like WCS/GSL
Playoffs = 8 player single elimination

Has any WCS event not being Tier 1?

Edit: Disregard that, HSC VII is.

Only 16 players for the open bracket? How do you decide the players then?

I like how the sc2 is starting to have a structure. WCS was badly needed

I think the qualifying process is too complicated if i have to read it thrice and still be confused.

This seems a lot smaller than past IEM events, max 16 players in the open bracket and 16 players total in the main tournament? I guess smaller isn't always a bad thing, we'll see how it turns out.

For the main tournament, there will only be 4 invites total, and using the WCS ranking? I quite like that, not nearly as much emphasis on invites as some other tournaments.

edit: seems like the " WCS applicants " have their own qualifier, so the tournament is 0 invites total?

There has never been invites for IEM (besides the local champion who... already has to become a champion for getting an invitation :D ).

Is that so? I remember IM players being invited to cologne last year, they certainly didn't qualify.

Meaning that there will be a ton of StarCraft, like there is football when college football starts.

Yes, which for all real purposes it basically means koreans only. I don't see any other player qualifying.
EDIT: seems they will actually separate China, SEA, and KR/TW.
