We have Zest, Life, herO, sOs, soO and Rain in the top 16. Giving PL players points will turn WCS into a PL only tournament. We already have that, it's called GSL. Just because Flash keeps losing terribly at GSL doesn't mean he should be given sympathy points. The reason KeSPA players don't travel more is because they need to keep in shape and maintain/build up team league strategies. That's their job, and all of the other stuff are perks. | ||

ProLeague, DH, Redbull, HSC, etc dont need to give WCs points. Only within WCS, nothing else. well thats how you push every tournament out of the scene if you focus everything on WCS. If no tournament outside of the WCS system really matters, players wont travel there anymore, viewers wont watch it and tournament organizers pull out. you get a situation like in League of Legends with LCS. | ||

He is still in korea so it wasn't just for the freebies, else he'd be raping the WCS Eu. Who knows what's the deal with acer in terms of salary and co. | ||

Tournament invites are already helping out the non-KeSPA Koreans so much that a few points from a KeSPA-only tournament seems only fair. Asus RoG and HSC are 80% invite only and they mosly invite non-KeSPA (Solar in RoG is the only exception this year). The invites are also going to the same players every time. HerO, for example, hasn't gone through qualifiers to play in a major tournament since IPL 5.

Honestly I give no fuck about nationality of a player, I want to watch the best. This pretty much. Why shouldn't PL players get points? Some of the highest level of play... | ||

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. Not to mention, not all players can even choose to be in PL. It just takes what is a distorted environment, because none of them will ever be perfect, and distorts it further and makes it harder for up and comers to break through. | ||

I assume we all think Proleague should be a competition where decisions by coaches are made that have the teams' best interest in mind. However what happens if a player who is underperforming for the past three months is really close to having enough points for the WCS Globan Finals and they decide to line him up in order to get some more WCS points? Do we want WCS points to have influence over who gets lined up based on their ranking instead of the merits of their skill? I am not sure if this is a feasible idea. Does anyone have a solution for this problem? | ||

Does anyone have a solution for this problem? The only remotely feasible thing to do would be to give points to the teams according to their performance, not to individual players. Then each player of the team who is a WCS finals contender would get a bonus added to his pool based on his team (with clear rules about changing teams). It would of course have to be a fairly small amount of points in order not to completely screw up the standings with people who haven't accomplished anything at all. (And me saying this doesn't change the fact that I am against giving any weight to PL at all, because I don't think it really correlates with individual player skill that much.) | ||
