Because some people seem to think that the KeSPA cup is the new SPOTV league so I'm not sure. Can someone update me on this. Also, since GSL ro8-finals will be getting a venue on a weekend. Does that mean that players won't be getting a week to prepare for each opponent? | ||

They give out a big enough prize pool, meet the other requirements AND a lot of people watch them, ofc they should also give WCS points then. It has nothing to do with saltiness, he is absolutely right - a tournament that is heavily based on invites bascially gives out WCS points for free. Points should be earned through skill (-> qualifiers) and not based on popularity. | ||

In all seriousness I obviously can't speak for your roommate but if I were to guess there are details to his situations that you are unaware of. ah, he hasnt to be afraid. paying 300€ for room you have a lot of money left to enjoy berlin. as i said, i know some other guys who have similar conditions. i just brought him up because he is south korean, i could bring up turkish or australian people as well. i also dont know if there are differences between the countries inside europe. i just guess, that if you can show a contract and proof that you can live with that money, it shouldnt be a problem to get working visa. thing could(!) be that they are all graduated. | ||

And by that logic, IEM and some more have to change aswell. | ||

Well, HSC X is in off-season, but others gave out points as far as I remember, and they had the same system. And yes, I agree with you: The invites in IEM and other stuff is not really "fair" as well in regards to WCS points. But of course I also see why invites are needed - Nazgul has a good point economically -, also invites bring a lot of viewers because of popular players' fanbases. If we talk about the overall fairness of an ideal system though, then the more invites the better. That an ideal system will always just stay that - an ideal - is of course true.^^ | ||

Just when EU was developing nicely thanks to the Koreans. I really worry for State though, he wanted to go for WCS this season while staying in Korea. Without a team he isn't going to be able to fund flights from KR - NA | ||

Too bad for him though, it's a shame that this was not announced way earlier Edit : @SinCitta : How is giving WCS points to non-WCS events that are either 100% qualifiers (IEM) or open to anyone (DH) a broken system? I mean sure it's not perfect, but at least it makes sense to give points as long as anyone who has the skill can enter the tournament and win it. I love HSC and I watch the hell out of it, but giving WCS points to a tournament with 8 theorical qualified players (remember that last HSC two qualified players were replaced by two invites) on 32 players is not right.

Korea vs the Rest of the World. Keeping WCS NA as it is in its current state without the Koreans playing in it just seems like a complete waste of prize money. I'm now actually excited to watch both regions, the addition of more games in Korea makes me very happy. | ||

That would really sucks, they need to give players some time to prepare for those important matches.. | ||
