I don't see how the groups are any more random whether nani was in the na bowl or not. It really shouldn't matter.


Because they drew Targa before they put Naniwa back into the EU bowl. So they could've drawn Naniwa instead of Targa if it was done right. And from there everything changes.

But it could have just as easily gone the way it did even if the bowls were right. It's still just as random.


It guarantees that Naniwa is not in group 1. Sure it would still be random afterwards, but it's still not correct.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Europeans have a thing about rigged draws, it's in their blood
If all men were created equal there would be no reason to declare it.

Imagine if now he gets ForGG and Polt.


I'm not that lucky.


Pray to Sniper with your soul and he will deliver you to the promised land.


They always get you with the fine print. What is it this time? Flash makes it to Code S finals, loses to Shine 0-4?

so WCS is now a handing out seasonal checks to Polt, ForGG and Hydra? The region locking is great and all, but if only even filtered out the koreans despite residency. Now we always have to expect the same 3 or 4 koreans in ro 8 or ro4.


Polt, forgg and hydra all decided to commit their lives to USA/Europe, why shouldnt they be allowed to play in wcs? They live there, give money to US/Europe economy, pay their taxes.

It would literally be rascist to exclude them at this point just because of their nationality.


if they went by citizenship or however the Olympics does it, then would it not racism though?

Hydra making it into the ro8 is a not guaranteed, neither is violet. Forgg should definetly make it, polt more likely than the other 2, hydra has a decent shot violet is a maybe.

Gosh, this season of WCS seems... unprepared.

No rule book, no schedule, and what seems like an incredibly hasty group drawing. Compared to last year, WCS seems pretty awful in terms of preparation.

Did someone kind of just forget that WCS was going to be happening?

DH France is likely to be a WCS event, but it is just in may

It offenses that some players know where they gonna play and others do not know it. And if you concider that Germany (4 of 8 Visa Groups ) and USA (the other 4) have sometimes strange visa problems when it comes to esport-athlets form RoC and PRC, we hope that WCS does not throw this up.
And yeah a pure ZvZ Group... but that is biased.

This whole season 1 is a serious mess:
Extremly late mappool that GSL plays on its own and we still now know (and possibly the players too) on what maps they play the premiere.
Playdates announced really late while you know every GSL Playday, WCS tells you some dates 5-7 days before they go.
Players from LA didnt know where to attend for the LA Qualifier for long time
Now some players are allowed to choose where to play (PIG), others have been told where they play (Targa) and other just sit in the blue and guess what? Dont know if they need a visa and if they have to play next week in some land where they dont get one in time.

so basically nothing in other words
is depressed

So they are redrawing? Huh
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.
