EPTEdit: One other thing I don't like is the Challenger League format for EU and NA. It'll be very random since it'll all depend on who you happen to get paired up with. But the KR Challenger League format sounds great; real groups instead of the weird bracket/U&D hybrid.

Which means they won't be knocked out for quite a while, unless they hit another Korean in their (single) Challenger match. Challenger seems overly harsh now. Get a tough opponent or have a bad day? gg gl qualifying again. Not necessarily a bad thing, should keep a nice rotation of fresh meat coming in. Looks good so far! | ||

That's a great question and the numbers are there, but I'm too lazy to do the math right now, but I'm sure someone else will soon.  | ||

I think the important thing is that the events lasting longer in general will probably end up creating more opportunities for other events to run around WCS. I think there's a good chance that more money becomes available over all. Of course only time will tell. | ||
