Could be really great if those are handled correctly, if not, even despite the fact that most koreans are gone, not enough players will profit from it and even less might get money/exposure than this year. challenger format is not changed just look at http://d299ks0j9y7dbf.cloudfront.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/format_2015_wcs_premier_v2.jpg "14 new, 14 old" same bo5 than we had this year | ||

I don't see anything about single bo5s there. It would suck hard if they made it like that again I think. | ||

Feel good, I have a good feeling about this. As long as most of the Koreans go back to Korea as planned you just got the best of EU/NA + the world and it makes sense b/c I don't think there was enough depth there to run their own leagues with the Koreans gone. Especially NA. I'm personally much more excited for this as a viewer and I think it will be good for the players too. And it's good for the foreign Koreans who don't have to struggle with visas and flying around the world all the time to try and make a living, now they have a real shot to do it back home which I think they preferred. I think everyone wins here. This is something a lot closer to what they should have been doing 2 years ago and that's what a lot of people were saying back then. It's a shame that it's taken them this long to get here when I think it's clear this is much closer to what WCS should have looked like in the first place. | ||

I guess two Korean leagues is the silver lining, but reduced quality and fewer chances for Korean pros in the foreign scene really isn't a good solution imo. | ||

What an odd system. | ||

Would just be stupid to see Snute, Happy, Vortix, Bunny etc knock each other out every season. I hope it's not final yet. | ||

im sorry, but the american region would literally have been giving free money/points to Polt. Captain america won NA twice with a ton of koreans, so with him and violet being the only ones that would get to stay the level of competition would be totally screwed. 48 might have been a better number overall imo, but its also much harder to work with than 32. | ||
