I do have one problem... one big one... the fact that if your event is considered to be an WCS global event, you have to use the EXACT map pool as ladder for your tourney... (the other changes I'm more or less fine with them with making your event a WCS global event... like at least having 25% of your top 16 coming from an open pool, at least bo3... branding....). That means basically every tournament that is WCS "conformed" will have the exact same feel as all the other WCS tourneys because we will be seeing more or less the same strategies on the same maps... and that may or may not get boring. I really like to see tournaments with different map pools, so different stuff can happen. Having the same stuff as everybody is somewhat boring. | ||

I like all the other changes and i'm curious to see how effective will the partial region lock be. Good job Blizz!!! | ||

In the later part of his career, baseball pitcher Mariano Rivera used pretty much only one pitch, a very good cut fastball. Good thing he was playing baseball and not a video game so no one could nerf it. | ||

Good onya Blizzard. You may have actually made the correct choice this time without pissing off the community. Also, well done posters. For once, I don't feel like I need to write a huge fucking response letting people know they're idiots. Give yourselves pats on the back.  | ||

I like that GSL is in charge again, but Korea is going to once again be the difficult tournament, while the other regions will be slightly watered down. Awarding the same amount of points from all regions seems wrong in this case. And we'll probably have the Korea region qualifying players curbstomp global finals. I like that they made the ladder more relevant, and that they didn't region lock too much (yet introduced support for underrepresented regions such as China). We'll see where players will go. Looking forward to 2014. | ||
