I liked the system of this year with koreans integrating so well in the foreign scene although it was a bit unfortunate for the foreign players.
The koreans being forced back to korea (with a far bigger scene than now) while having a full foreigner tournament would be quite okay too, but having a foreigner tournament with 2-3 koreans is dumb.


Well, you can't really force someone back to Korea if he has been living in EU/NA for more than 2 years. They got ridnof the "region hoppers", who just travelled to the offline section of the WCS tournaments and I think that's the right decision.
Now there will only be players in WCS EU/NA who actually LIVE there for quite some time. And ofc you cannot force someone like Polt back to Korea, as he's studying in the USA xD
He'll win everythig there now, most likely, which sucks, but he just cannot possibly go back to Korea.


That's true but it's still silly to have a tournament where the winner is already clear before the games are played.
If it isn't possible to force all koreans back, they should have just kept the current system imo.

Edit: its also not very respectful to players like stardust, mc or jjakji who are equally well integrated in the european scene like forgg but dont fulfill the residency requirements.
Will expect some retirements soon; don't know if this is good for the scene

^ why?

Are u sure polt/forgg/stardust/violet are gonna win next season? They are favorites of course, but their win rate against foreigners is not 100%. I mean look at Taeja every WCS season...

Plus higher ranking for foreigners. Not winning, just placing higher. Snute for example, could have made Blizzcon this year.

Do you really think people like Polt, Violet or ForGG are unbeatable by foreigners? Because afaik people like Snute, Scarlett, Bunny, etc already beat these Koreans, and more than once

Due to the current off-season, these tournaments are allowed to choose their own map pool.


wait a second, does that mean ALL tournaments have to use the ladder mappool? makes me really sad tbh, especially korean tournaments (GSL and that SPOTV League) add their own maps sometimes, wich makes the meta even more interesting in high level games
Because of that we got to see some cool maps like Daybreak or King sejong station. (sorry for bad english, i barely slept in the last few days)

All tournaments which want to give WCS points to the players. So yes GSL and the SpoTV thing have to use the WCS map pool. Proleague will probably still have some independent maps though

So IEM San Jose gives 2015 WCS points but Dreamhack Winter doesn't?

Dreamhack winter has too many invites I believe to qualify.

No Invites but all have qualified (top4 from each DH this year).

IDK then.


Those all count as invites according to the new rules. The other Dreamhack 2014 tournaments don't count as "qualifiers" for this one.

Latin America generally refers to all parts of the Americas where romance languages are the primary official language. So basically everything except Canada and the USA.
