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

Problem is you don't see that many KeSPA or other Korean teams send their players to overseas tournaments unless it is their ace(s) or happens to be close-by. Even if they do raise Korea's prize pool and WCS points proportionately it will still be the same people being sent to the same events and the other players can't be as competitive or prove themselves. | ||

Like are we only getting 1-2 players from CN/KR out of however many premier/challenger slots? no announcement yet, but they'll have those slots freed up from the wildcards | ||

Why reset it? because then you have empty slots everywhere, and it's unfair to the many booted players that were in premier and now have to qualify again with only a small number of slots available | ||

Well, thing is, that they can't throw, let's say, Pigbaby into GSL Ro32 next season, because he just advanced into Ro16 of WCS AM. Different regions - different rules, easier to reset everything instead to avoid possible mess. I can't imagine though, how is GSL going to handle it, lol. I guess, they will just hold big Code B for everyone with seeds in Code A going to top-16 players in GSL this season, but it's still, 64 players in Code A which is too much. | ||

Rather than deal with that mess, they just reset everything. Keep the guys who have a visa in Premier and adjust the Challenger League according to the remaining number of slots needed in Premier. | ||
