EPTNot trying to be entirely pessimistic. Just saying that since most of the SC2 players are Korean, or I imagine are in Korea now, it would just be cheaper to hold the WCS World Finals in Daegu, Seoul, Incheon, or Busan. Besides, I'm in Korea now :D

I hope this doesnt mean a potential 1st vs 2nd at second round, especially in a single tournament. my bracket suggestion: + Show Spoiler + 1st vs 16th 8th vs 9th 5th vs 12th 4th vs 13th 3rd vs 14th 6th vs 11th 7th vs 10th 2nd vs 15th with this bracket, all top8 from wcs points can be in top8 at this tournament, all 4 in top4. This is a very balanced bracket: everthing is 17 (1+16, 2+15 etc). If all on left side wins, everything is 9 (1+8, 5+4 etc) | ||

First of all only two of Oz/soO/Dear needs to get 1000 pts (8th place or better) at the Season Finals. (Less likely but not impossible(?): Vortix 1500, Byul/Trap/Genius/Hack 2000 pts.) If that happens both Naniwa and Revival are out. I think Revival gets (atleast?) 25 more pts in CL (when are those games played btw???) 25 puts him equal to Naniwa and they could play that BO5 offline at Blizzcon, IF only one of the aforementioned "Season Finals"-players get the points they need. No, not looking good for the swede imho. | ||

As much as I love jaedong and I don't want anything more than for him to finally win a star 2 event, mvp getting back to back blizzcons and still being the king in 2013 would just be wayy to epic. Couldn't care less whether nani makes it. I enjoy his play but I enjoy watching pretty much any top 20 player play, I really don't see a point in wanting somebody in solely based on nationality, seems kinda racist to me. | ||
