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

If WCS NA and EU have the same amount or even a compareable amount of WCS points as GSL then the system and Blizzcon have become even more of a joke than they already were.

This seems awesome, but Polt and Violet will dominate AM :D

What does this do for SEA and Chinese players though?
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

They are going to give out the exact same number of points, just like every other regional sport in creation.

There goes anyone watching WCS EU and WCS America. Not many top players are residents in the continent they live in. Anyone got a list?

GSL just got screwed over by forcing players to start from the bottom.


In EU a Visa got at least:
ForGG
Jakji
Stardust
Sacsri
MMA
Patience
Revenge
Golden
First
Yoda
Hyun
MC
Maybe Taeja

In USA a visa will have:
Polt
Violet
JaeDong
Balloon
Maybe Bomber
Maybe others i dont remember

I dont think anybody of the mentionet will have a perminent residential right, Green Card in USA, for example Blue Card / "Dauerhaftes Aufenthaltsrecht" in Germany
Bomber, Attacker, DD, SOMEBODY, NiKo, Nex, Spidii

if they do this then they need to have season finals again, something to allow korea to dominate, otherwise it's not as fun

Then as I said, it was already bad and now they've made it WORSE.

So what we're gonna see is a whole bunch of WCS NA and EU koreans who can't compete anymore in Korea retire because there's so few tournaments going on there, and the skill gap widen between the Koreans and foreigners because now the foreigners don't have to try as hard to win the biggest tournament outside of Korea. This is actually the WORSE thing they could have done.

I am not sure that "fun" for the hardcore TL-SC2-fan is looking for is the same fun that the average SC2 viewer is looking for.

Well, we will have GSL qualifiers to watch :D
They're not going to show mercy for sure.

hard to say if this will improve WCS, but i think if they do give more points and money for GSL players then things would be coolio. also, this doesn't stop koreans from playing outside of WCS tournaments, MC will still be at every IEM and dreamhack.

I doubt its, but I am sure it will be debated endlessly in this thread over and over about who this will be the death of SC2 and the Korean scene forever.

You speak with a great deal of authority and confidence about things that have yet to be released publicly. You have an inside source?

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

I feel a little sorry for Copa America though, because now their niche is mostly gone, and they were the main tournament I followed in the past year.

Its region locked, so they would have to boot anyone who doesn't get a visa. Then who do you replace them with? Rather than deal with that mess, they just reset everything.

Huge yay for this. US visa is no easy game and I can see a few notable Koreans return to the home league and even better, home teams

About the tweet in the OP, is there any news on how many slots for WCS AM will be given to each qualifier? Like are we only getting 1-2 players from CN/KR out of however many premier/challenger slots?
