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 | ||

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. | ||

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) | ||

(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 | ||

Those all count as invites according to the new rules. The other Dreamhack 2014 tournaments don't count as "qualifiers" for this one. http://wcs.battle.net/sc2/en/articles/2015-starcraft-ii-world-championship-series "Global Qualifiers cannot be other WCS Global Events" | ||
