Super hype to see this!

Also super hype, because it gives Sora more events to go to and assert himself as the God of Protoss.

No matter how you arrange it, you cant get the letters into WCG.

GSL hasn't been "WCS Korea" since the start of 2014. But it's just a name, who cares?

well i just mean THE tournament for wcs in korea, so like how ESL does WCS Europe and America. Still ESL but WCS tourney.

I think this is more rappresentative for Korean scene:

2011? 1,214,270$ in prizepool from 10 events
2012? 955,090$ in prizepool from 8 events
2013? 762,558$* in prizepool from 6 events (*150,000$ from WCS 2013 Season 1 Global Finals)
2014? 640,604$ in prizepool from 6 events
2015? For now 492,000$* in prizepool from 6 tournaments officially announced in top of this thread.

*Without this:

Additionally, Blizzard has announced that outside GSL and SpoTV's "regular" tournaments, there will be several more WCS-point giving tournaments held in Korea.

Foreigners have been using their mouths only for crying and complaining (except few...) something is imba,this is imba, I don't play... So for me as a viewer I don't wanna look on the bored guy stage with mindset like "Korean will kick from tourney anyway why should I even care.." This is what bothers me the most since NaNiWa times.. yes he was an "********* and *********" and a lot more bad words comes to my mouth regarding to his attitude, BUT he actually loved to destroy Koreans, like completely crush them and that's what disappeared after his retirement

So for me I would rather watch full Korean BlizzCons with good games or more foreigners working like 10x harder then they do now (or experiment with different practice environments)

@Prizepool I can understand that peeps are usually younger aged here and they have no responsibility when it comes to bills, salaries etc. so decreased prizepool which brought second tournament and secured great casters in two languages,good studio, catering and seats for ppl and it's still a lot of money. Don't forget that gamers are making a lot more money than a alot of ppl who works all day...

Overall I like this idea, but I would like to see if studios and stuff were more transparent so we should filter those stupid posts like "prizemoney is lover omg dead gaem..."

Well, lower prize pool but it's better than nothing. I was hoping for Code A to become a clone of Code S in terms of the format, just with lower payout (yet still better than it's now...).

I would reform this, because since mental state of current population of gamers Code A looks like a trash if in eyes of alot of ppl.. but actually it is already good result to achieve Code A ^^.. So I would like to see smthing like Battle for Code S name or something which sounds more like an tournament for a spot in Code S

It's almost like having the OSL and MSL back.
