I like verything except those "2 players from...." (specifically the low numbers). I like the 14 from EU/M.E./Africa. But I think NA and LA could be clumped together? Same maybe with China / TW / ANZ...

At least that's my knee jerk reaction... let's see how I feel after reading more opinions :D

Sooooo... If I am a working EU citizen, I cannot watch Koreans after my work. Damn it. They lost a viewer. I am so sad from these changes
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Ugh I just realized that NA and LA were separate... I really hope that ROOT's Koreans will be able to compete in this or else we'll have 3-4 really weak players coming from NA

i knd a liked the way it was now
Dont know what to say. Feels like reshuffling the deck. Deck is still gonna stay the same.

Biggest question: Travel from US to Europe and back if you got placed in wrong group

He did have one, not anymore though.

Overall I like the changes. Korea gets the tournaments needed and since there aren't enough EU/NA players for an entire WCS season, their put together. Close to what I've been hoping for tbh.

Why does he only have a working holiday visa in the first place?


Because getting anything else is very difficult.

He had a woking visa...

Had.

I think I really like these changes. We certainly needed a mix up to keep things fresh. I've gotta say I lost interest in repeatedly seeing almost 6-8 Koreans in round of 8 WCS AM and EU. As someone previously said, it's matches like Scarlett vs bunny and huk vs TLO that really draw in the viewers (and my personal interest).

One question though, these two spots for Hong Kong and SEA etc and 4 spots for China. Are these going to be ruled by Koreans that make the move to these regions? I hope not!

Also I think Korea deserves two big leagues as that's where the talent lies and we're kinda chucking them out of AM and EU.

Exciting

Question: I'm probably being silly but how does the split between the 4 groups in Europe and 4 groups in America work? I hope it's an random split with some Europeans going to America and some Americans going Europe. Otherwise 4 groups will just be mini WCS EU and 4 groups will be mini WCS AM

It is, but if he had one he met the requirements. Why did he switch/was forced to switch to a working holidays visa?

Here it is.

Only thing I don't like is that they are letting the pseudo-invitationals continue and the rich will continue to get richer in that respect. 25% for qualifiers is not enough, particularly when you can then further break that down into regionals. HSC should not be getting WCS points when it's a glorified invitational inviting people TaKeTV likes plus lip-service to qualifiers with only 2 spots for Koreans (and the qualifier ends up being a better tournament than the main event as a result of the talent pool).

Frankly it should be minimum 50% qualifiers if you want any WCS points and I hope they change that before 2015 season starts.

Aside from that it's great. There aren't 32 good Americans or 32 good Europeans, so if you want games that don't suck, merging the talents pools is the way to do it.

But are there more than 28 good european players and more than 14 good americans or?

First the good news yesterday, and now the bad today.

Koreans outside Korea are screwed. It was fun while it lasted, I guess.

Not sure how it will end up with a unified league between AM and EU. Could be good, could be bad, but Korean tournaments should satisfy all my sc2 needs from next year on, so.

Well this is obviously not the reason.
Until 2 weeks ago he had no idea that his working-holiday visa would not be enough to stay in WCS EU; as blizzard did not tell the player which visa would be required.

His working visa expired and then he only managed to get a working holyday visa.

His girlfriend explained that on reddit: 1 2 3
I used to organize tournaments for ESL Italy and referee Go4SC2s, WCSs, and IEMs for ESL SC2.
