Sorry if this tweet comes off as condescending. It's not my intention. It's just the only thing I could find from someone working with WCS explaining the draws. It's possible to have 3 players from EU if one of them is from the CIS pot and you get another EU player instead of Latin America or SEA



would have been Serral and ForGG from pots 1 and 2, Happy from pot 3, and Polt from pot 4

To add some statistics to the comment earlier about region distribution, and I know that the zones are pre-allocated places, so not fighting for spots, but it's interesting to see some of the populations of these countries along with places earned. The number of the right is WCS spots per 100 million of the population.

If you're born in Norway, looks like you have the highest % chance of becoming a pro sc2 gamer - congratulations to you!

I'm liking the format. Much better than having three ro32 series in three different regions. At least I'll be able to watch most of the games now.

CIS is not a WCS region though. I already said in another thread that separating CIS from Europe didn't make any sense but I still can't understand the logic behind this. Happy comes from Europe qualifiers, not CIS.

Sorry if I'm a little agressive and you're obviously not the one I'm targeting here but this is so silly.

Hard to make predictions on this lol, but here goes.

Group 1: (T)MajOr and (P)MaNa
Group 2: (Z)Serral and ForGG
Group 3: (T)Bunny and (Z)XiGua
Group 4:(P)ShoWTimE and (P)HuK
Group 5: (P)NaNiwa and (Z)Suppy
Group 6:(Z)Sen and (Z)Hydra
Group 7: (T)MorroW and (Z)viOLet
Group 8: (Z)Snute and (Z)Kane

I think many of the groups are a total tossup though, like Morrow/TLO or Kane/Pig.

dont worry I think it was dumb too. what are they going to do when the number of CIS players isn't consistent from season to season? Just arbitrarily make new pot rules?
