This should be full-wiped with new qualifiers for all spots. This isn't solving anything.

Aren't the koreans that went through challenger last season eligible for a spot in the 24vs24 battle for the other Premier spots?

yes, they should be


Sure hope so (especially since my man San said he wouldn't play in WCS if it was region locked)

Thank you. And that's it? Not bad at all . . . whatever happened to Nestea and MVP, by the way?


NesTea is in Challenger League, along with HyuN, Arthur, CranK, TaeJa, Revival, TheStC, Tassadar, Alicia, aLive, Apocalypse, Sage.

Mvp is in Challenger League, along with Daisy, ForGG, San

I am not 100% sure but I believe this is correct

Therefore seems like we must setup some kind of hit system to knock koreans out slowly but surely. Money rewards or something ;o

The funniest part is, Huk's vlog was all about how Europe was fine and AM was still fucked... but if he was right about Korea and SEA, that would mean koreans would have four shots at AM... Exactly the same number Europe has.

So... Yeah?

SCST: it isn't really close to what you preached, though (which is a good thing).


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southeast_Asia

Korea is not part of South East Asia.


...Yeah? Why is that your answer to my post?

My understanding is that anyone that "qualified" for premier will be seeded in challenger. So there would be about a dozen Koreans seeded in the new challenger as players that have "fallen out" of premier. That would explain why there are 48 players in challenger this season.

Btw, Macua should be Macau Though it's most likely that Taiwan will dominate the TW/HK/Macau slots anyway.

New Plansix has better, faster firmware. Also, the Canada dig was because it was easy. The dig at Florida was because its true.

They didn't make it to the round of 8 in the last season otherwise they would've been on the list as well.

So this has probably already mentioned but apparently OGN has the rights to broadcast Brood War? Would be interesting to see if anything comes of that.

Total Koreans in WCS Season 3 by region:

WCS America [23 players]

Taeja
Revival
TheSTC
Ryung
Tassadar
Nestea
Alicia
Alive
Apocolypse
Lucky
Sage
SSanaEE
HwangSin
Hyun
Arthur
Crank
Polt
Jaedong
Oz
HerO
Byul
Hack
Heart

WCS Europe [11]

ForGG
Daisy
San
MVP
TAILS
Shuttle
duckdeok
MC
MMA
Stardust
Genius


So all of these players are grandfathered in? How the hell is it possible to give regional qualifier seeds with this many grandfathered players form outside the region? I'm clearly missing something - anyone help me understand here? Thanks!

Thank you, I wish they could have done the majority of these changes earlier but it's understandable not to screw with the system in the middle of the season. Finally a fair system for region locking and a fixed points system. Now the global finals will have a much more accurate player list of the current and consistently best players of 2014.

Great update by Blizzard.

So WCS AM will have a max of 21/32 Koreans for season 1, and max of 11/32 for EU.

Unfortunately, Ryung, SSanaEE, Petreus, demu, Xigua, Vibe, Goswser, Jonsnow, Hasuobs, noname, jonnyrecco, elfi, Grubby, BBK, Mana, Thorzain don't get to keep their challenger spots and have to re-qualify

Ah so it's confirmed that only round of 8 premier players are grandfathered in?
