Only Redbull I guess I feel that the new Tier 2 is like the old Tier 1 etc. The Tier 1 seems to be for the really big non WCS tournaments like DH Winter (if DH Winter wouldn't been in WCS offseason) | ||

A more sustainable system with a more balanced prize pool is more important than 1 guy winning the lottery. | ||

i would, however, not get my hopes too high about a sc2 osl or the korean scene having two premier competitions again. to me it sounds more like ogn and the korean esports scene as a whole are drifting away from sc... | ||

If you want them out of your region, you must evict them through force.......of starcraft. But really, the rate at which Koreans drop out of WCS NA by losing or retiring isn't going to be more than the rate of Koreans entering WCS NA. (2 per season) It's still going to be WCS KR 2, Blizzard just threw Challenger League spots at foreigners out of pity. EU players were winning most of the WCS EU qualifiers lately too, so that hasn't changed either. Really the only meaningful change is that GSL prize pool has tripled. (but only for 1st place, everyone else gets the same) So unless you win GSL, WCS 2014 is exactly the same as WCS 2013. | ||

The note about OGN and Hearthstone makes me chuckle. Maybe Artosis can wear his phat jacket and win his next tournament in Korea! Overall, I like the changes. Looking forward to seeing all the details going forward, so I can work out what days I need to take off work for serious WCS watching. | ||

A single bo5 match against a random opponent will now determine the new premier league players. Compared to previously having bracket and group stage. I thought this at first too. Try to think of challenger as the 1st round of premier and everyone who qualifies for the tournament gets $600. It's actually a pretty awesome deal then! So long as they make the qualifiers reasonable. | ||

No this is EXACTLY what I wanted, also my biggest pet peeve with the GSL all these years has been adresses. Playing two seasons at the same time IS SUCH A BAD IDEA. Really hyped for the new season of WCS!!!!! | ||
