I really feel like they should be. WCS points should be a way to measure player skill and I really think there should be alternative ways to earn points. Hell, I would even say that players should be able to earn points from laddering (assuming it will be balanced out).

the hypocrisy that consist to ignore the cost of going to a dh/IEM is pretty huge imo. You cannot stay it's totally free of access if you consider that it can cost more than 1k$ depending from where you live.


Cost is irrelevant.You can participate no matter where you live,there are no restrictions.If you can't go that's your problem.

If Koreans want to,they should host a tournament in Korea,open to everybody in other regions and i'm sure Blizz will give them the same amount of wcs points as DH/IEM.
All I do is Stim.

KeSPA is sending top PL performers to foreign tournaments. They'll be fine.

No, the players don't even have a say in who gets to play. What about the b-teamers? WCS tournaments have to be open to everyone. Proleague is a closed system where the coaches decide who gets to play. I'd rather see WCS points gone from all the other tournaments like DH and IEM.


the openess is a joke considering the costs involved and the strain travelling put on actual practice.


Yep I agree, but giving WCS points for Proleague is no solution imo. Restrict WCS points to WCS/GSL. I dislike how IEM/DH etc. have become qualifiers for Blizzcon anyway, they have their own championships.

The other solution would be more open tournaments on Korean soil, but that's unrealistic. There will at least be the one Kespa tournament later this year with the top2 from each region plus Proleague and open qualifiers I think.

That's true.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Just change the points in the GSL to:

Code S: 1st - 2500
2nd - 1500
3-4 - 1000
4-8 - 750
9-12 - 500
13-16 - 400
17-24 - 300
25-32 - 200

Code A 25-48: 100

That way those who play in the GSL benefit which is mostly Kespa players.

KeSPA players shouldn't get sympathy points because they don't feel like playing in singles tournaments.


Um your statement makes no sense whatsoever. Why would the players that you mentioned NOT want to play in singles tournaments? LOL... It's advantageous to them because they're better than most of their competition = free money and fame. It's that they CAN'T compete due to tight rules with the team and proleague. Why do you think players like innovation left a korean team? It's to be able to play more singles tournaments.

This way we can basically lock down 3 spots for blizzcon for each GSL winners. Not the best option imo

Err lol. Maybe award some WCS points to Looping Louie too!
Teamleauges are different. Stop mixing them with single performances.
(Can I remind you Sirs how big the uproar was when it was revealed that WCS KR/EU/NA had different group-formats etc.)

Wouldn't that like completely miss the whole point of the WCS? The whole system is purportedly skewed towards non-Korean events so that SC2 doesn't end up being a Korea-only affair like BW. It is just because of the WCS design that we see so many good Koreans outside Korea and the scenes aren't completely disconected.

Also, so, SO many people who do good in PL fail hilariously in individual leagues and vice versa, it just doesn't make sense even when you don't include the outside-of-the-game politics.

As ProLeague is the most important and most regular league in SC2, they should get WCS points, yes. Not many, but some.
There are so many (offline!!!) PL matches, it is almost impossible for the good players to visit all the events in Europe etc.

You either want to participate in a team league or play at Blizconn. Decision is up to you.

Simply - no.

I think most want the top 16 best sc2 players, and yes that would most likely mean almost 16 koreans. Honestly I give no fuck about nationality of a player, I want to watch the best.

I disagree. If a team wishes to participate seriously in proleague, and they do this by not allowing their players to go to foreign events, then that's the team's decision, KESPA koreans should not get special treatment solely because their team takes proleague more seriously than Blizzcon.

Also,
There will be a taiwan tournament with wcs points, too, and a good prize money.
Really, if kespa doesn't bother to play in this one, they really don't care
A flight from korea to taiwan can't be that expensive


Of course, there's also the kespa tounament they will do later on

Weither they earned WCS points in proleague or in any individual tournaments, I just want to see the top of the top players playing at Blizzcon. Even if it has to be full koreans. I watch SCII for the show, not for cheering for a foreigner.
But this is only my point and I perfectly understand that some people want to support the foreigners ^_^
