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

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.

This is so awesome.
Finally we have tournaments that matter for WCS in Korea

herO crushed Flash's TvP last time lol Rain could probably too

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... :/

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

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)"

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).
