Its sad really, the players in challenger league are no doubt about as strong as the premier players but from a broadcasting and announcement standpoint they are screwed over season after season. ESL announced the challenger groups last season a single day before they started, they outsourced the broadcast to someone else(and notably worse, significantly) even though they have 2 full-time casters hired (apollo specifically for WCS). NASL and MLG did horrible jobs with their qualifiers, nobody knew they were even happening, no public brackets etc. At least their broadcasts are the same level as the Premier broadcasts, but atrocious are both (premier and challenger). All in all challenger league was shit (as blunt as it sounds) and its sad, there couldve been done so much more | ||

WCS is killing SC2 in the Korean scene, it is killing the foreign scene because Korean players are going to EU and NA but not actually moving there, and it is killing sponsorships. To be taken over by games like LoL and DotA is just embarrassing in my opinion--they're not even good, which shows just how bad Blizzard is running things for the only RTS game around. tl;dr: Blizzard can't even succeed with a monopoly. smh | ||

I don't know what some of the players are talking about, because the statement Blizzard gave them doesn't say half the things they are claiming. Don't speculate, just wait for Blizzard to release something officially. | ||

First of all you know that I can't play Starcraft between 6.PM and 11.PM thanks to B.net/Free ( French ISP ). Then the last Challenger League doesn't bring you in Premier League for 2014. and a few people know this fact. Don't wory, I stay Terran.  Bad translation but still a translation | ||

Challenger makes no sense for a game as small as SC2, glad to see it go. I agree, 3 entire leagues with Premier/Challenger gather too many players given the size of the scene. I'd prefer a removal of Challenger League and an addition of a 4th region (Asia/Oceania). | ||

GOM would be the only ones profiting from a region lock. if all the Koreans that are currently playing in WCS AM and EU would move back to WCS KR, not only would the level of competition in WCS EU and especially WCS AM be greatly diminshed, but the level of WCS KR would be even higher and it would feel like the most exclusive, awesome thing ever (which it is). if anything, NASL should be scared of a region lock more than anyone. but we don't even know what's going to end up happening here. so i suggest we just lean back and wait. | ||
