WCS AM will continue to include LatAm, Oceania/SEA, CN, and TW/HK/Macau, you can all stop freaking out about it.

Why RIP China and SEA? There is more info to be released, hold your horses.

Edit:
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

That would require me to make twitter. And then I'd be forced to mock literally everyone in sc2 and who would want that?

yea I guess that GEM house holds most of the koreans in WCS EU anyways lol, are they actual residents though?

this. it really depends what blizzard's interpretation of residency is.

I would assume they are keeping the regional qualifiers for WCS AM, so we still get a SEA/CN/TW/Hong Kong qualifier.

You could mock Wax. And TB. And lichter. You know you want to publicly mock lichter. And probably call out Lorning.

And i just think off: Total B, will it be kick in the nuts for Axiom ( Teamhouse and players in Korea, mostly playing in WCS AM ). Will you have to rethink everything or even moving to AM?

Now Blizzard just need to make LotV good, bring good features, and the game might not become a niche scene and can start growing again. Don't stop here.

You live in the country and have a visa to live their as a permanent resident. Its not that complicated. You need a house to live in, or cardboard box and a visa.

Lol, i was hoping for China/TW to get their own region at least, GPL looks solid sometimes, even if too many Zergs are there.

Polt and viOlet are partying hard somewhere, money is flowing.
Are European boys going to switch though? MC is GSL, hooray!

And Blizzard, fucking please. DOUBLE. POINTS. TO. GSL.

Else we're going to have like 5-6 foreigners at Blizzcon easily, if all EU Koreans are switching back.
Ah, i see how it works with Europe, ye, still same region, nice.

Initial reactions is that this is really stupid, WCS was fine as it is right now just look how much EU have improved because of the Koreans flying over.
Would have been more impressive and for the better good if WCS players had to play 500 games on their ladder to save the NA one.

But hey some people are fine watching not so good players battle it out..
Guess I'm back to GSL and hope that Blizzard have something in mind to support them.
The curse is real

Well unless there are more tournaments in Korea it's pretty bad for the players

I take solace in the fact that I made Lorning realize the extent of Choya's evil.

Well, it's best for the team that it happens now since every member other than Heart fell to challenger this season.

Good, why this wasn't done before is beyond...many people I'm sure. I (want to) watch WCS AM to see players from AM, not 16 2nd or 3rd tier koreans that decided their homeland was to hard to compete in.

GSL needs to expand ASAP. Or huge wave of retirements incoming. Sad

The most important question everyone SHOULD be asking is what they mean by legal resident. It has multiple definitions:

1) You are legally allowed to stay for a long, but not permanent, period of time (student visas, work visas, etc.)
2) You are legally allowed to stay permanently (green cards)

I'm okay with number 1, but not number 2. That would effectively end the participation of Koreans, some of which have earned our respect and admiration.

Also, this is not the death of China/SEA. They will probably get more reserved slots in WCS America. You don't have to be a resident of USA to compete in WCS AM, just a part of one of the countries eligible for WCS AM (like China and most of SEA).

I was just starting to like the old system, too.
