They already got wcs points for "the qualifier" though

I think that would mean IEM San Jose gets WCS points as well?


Pretty much it.

I understand they really want guys from Korea to be at Blizzcon, but that's maybe pushing it a little bit too much

But wasn't Blizzard's goal having foreigners at BlizzCon? I mean, with the unified WCS, Code S + the SpoTV thing, KeSPA allowing more Koreans to go to foreign tournaments next year, and WCS points being given here as well I fear the best ranked foreigners in 2015 WCS rankings will be even lower than this year, unless Snute enters godmode...

The way I see it is that Blizzard realised that Blizzcon will be all Korean, so they might as well have the best Koreans. That said, we don't know the 2015 Blizzcon format. We might have 32 players, they might even give a spot each to the 3 WCS winners.

Y, surprising indeed, but if things went as I mentioned - he won't have the need to fight a good Zerg, and his TvP and TvT is really superior IMO

Well, that's what they did with RB BG, wasn't it?
So... maybe they will grant WCS points for DH? I think that'd just be fair now, tbh.

Can't believe MK did it. Flash got a decent group, has a slight chance of advancing. Group B is brutal.

Wow that group B.. and Soulkey actually has decent shot of making it past first round! Alright! Oh and Bbyong literally cannot lose against PartinG, it's gonna be really sad.

Yeah but herO probably has the best TvP in the world. Flash is still pretty solid in the matchup. I think his TvT is his best matchup though.

I'm glad MK qualified, but he's in a group with herO, flash and Inno... :/

Life won like 200k and didn't hire a proper criminal lawyer.

No RB BG open qualifiers did not award WCS points, they were online so they couldn't have. This is the key-you can have a tournament populated mostly by winners of previous tournaments as long as at least a quarter of the slots are open qualifier slots. IEM WC and RB BG and Hot6ix Cup and GSL Global Championship met this criteria but DH Winter doesn't.

MKP didn't just move on but he 2-0'd both Maru and Byul to get through. That fact alone is beyond insane, either MKP is hittin the pipe for some sort of performance boost, or he has seriously put in spade work to get THAT much better

A player unlikely to qualify managing to qualify by beating stronger opponents isn't strange tbh. It's just how qualifiers work

I hope DH Winter doesnt give wcs points. Big injustice. You won an event (example DH Valencia), you gained 750points (or 375pts as 3/4 place) and then you can gain another points at main event. Same with RedBull events. I actually like this format but wcs points in this format is very unfair/injustice. Is like "rich become richer (as wcs points assembler)"

Well if you get to Round 8 of GSL you're automatically in the Code S next season - is it unfair as well?

No because all other can qualify for that tournament too (32-8= 24 spots afaik) . DH Winter has only all DH top4 players from this year. RedBull's Mainevent did the same as DH Winter but 1 spot qualifier (8man tournament).
