I guess I'll try to catch as much of the open bracket as possible/wait for those players to join the camp bracket. | ||

Hopefully this encourages teams to pick up more NA talent and develops the NA scene a bit more. Also, wonder if this will mean some more participation from European players? Fewer Korean players means that they might have a good shot at winning. | ||

They've been doing it for about a month and a half now, it was announced at the beginning of 2014 they were picking up sc2 again and having NA, Open Bracket tournaments. Have you been living under a rock!?!?! lol | ||

it allows enough top class koreans to participate in the championship bracket so that the final rounds will show really top class sc2 and the championship itself is legit. and it also guarantees that there are enough local players to cheer for and who can make a name for themselves, so it will probably help grow the local scene. i think european players get the short end of the stick though: they cannot get seeded into pool play, and will have a hard time grabbing one of the rare open bracket spots when there's a lot of koreans in there. but still... good compromise! | ||
