I really don't like the top heavy prize structure of GSL. Yes it's flashy, but it's terrible for the players (except one I guess!).

Changes overall are great; however, without the global finals each season, are players losing out on more money? Or did they expand on region prize money?


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.


Yeah, that's a really good point.

Really liking the idea of keeping slots open for locals. Should be a great equalizer. I was just hoping they'd find some kind of ladder integration...then I'd have a chance

OLD vs. NEW in Challenger? So in WCS NA it will be 10-16 Koreans battling it out with 16 poor NA players to create the ultimate circle of Korean life?

I love the changes.

I am just afraid it's too late (you know the drill, viewership already declining, etc...)

But there is not a single change I disagree with.

Hmmm, I just checked, isn't it just +50%? (a substantial increase, but nowhere close to *3.3)

So if I'm understanding this correctly, the only way that Koreans can compete now outside of Korea is through the Ladder Wildcard matches.

Man, the North American ladder is going to be brutal soon.
