Yeah, isn't it supposed to start soon?

Why would there be PL points now?

So we can make sure that Koreans can get all the WCS points.

With these changes a no-point-PL will have freedom to create it's maps.

PL always used its own map pool... did you watch PL in 2014? They had plenty of maps that were never in the map pool, like Outboxer and that ridiculous rock map whose name I have blocked out. And PL adopted King Sejong long before it was in the WCS map pool as well.

IIRC ForGG moved to Euro before WCS so I'm glad everything is handled in this manner. Good guy, Blizzard.

What about MMA? I'm looking him up right now, he was in Code S in November of 2012 and in WCS EU in April 2013. He's right on the line but I can't tell which way he falls. He left Korea under some less than ideal circumstances.

With this many points in Korea now, there's no need to go to the very complicated business of adding proleague points

Giving good PL players seeds into KeSPA Cup to earn points makes way more sense than giving PL performances WCS points directly. This is pretty obvious.

Yeah, StarDust may qualify. Liquipedia has him joining mYi in May 2013, but he was on LighT since late 2012, and I think I remember reading somewhere (maybe in his Blizzcon preview?) that he moved to the U.S. when he was on LighT? I just don't know enough about him since he was pretty under the radar until he won that DreamHack in June 2013.

He has been in Europe since he joined mYi I reckon.

Exactly, ProLeague sits above all other tournaments and players need no additional reason to compete.

I forgot to mention, this new system is very good also for TB and his Axiom team.

He had the resources and the courage to keep them running/operating in Korea, with a team house, and with sending to afew international tournaments......without any really major performances/titles.

Now with all the money and points in Korea, maybe he's interested to finally enroll them in PL, maybe in alliance with Acer (MMA) or mYi (Rain).......

Proleague points was always an awful idea both from a logistical and egalitarian standpoint. The only reason people were suggesting it, was that top Proleague players just didn't have many opportunities to get points. With additional Korean tournaments this is no longer a problem. Adding more tournaments in Korea was always the only good solution, though most people didn't believe Blizzard would ever do that.

Well tbf it's not really Blizzard doing that. We have to thank SpoTV here more than Blizz.

No real surprise in these changes. Everything seems sensible and in line with what they already said before (stricter region lock and all).

Dat forGG exception tho.
