OK, there are is something completely dumb and it is either this system or myself, so let's see.

They are supposed to play 4 groups in EU and 4 groups in US. So why the hell are there EU players in all of the groups by design (by drawing from those pots)? Is WCS trying to be as annoying to the players as possible with the added travel?

Yeah it seems quite weird to have half AM half EU if it's to force everyone to travel lol. But I guess they want a true UWCS and not WCS AM + WCS EU and then the best of the two battling in the playoffs.

I really hope they change this system for season 2. This makes no sense for many players. You travel 8h to play 2-3 bo3 games?! Huge discourage to the winners.

edit: SEA+China+Australia have to travel 8h+ anyway.
EU+China in EU
AM+LatAM+AUS+SEA in NA

That's what the koreans did for 2 years. And it's the whole point of the new system, making EU players fight CN, NA or SEA players. If everyone stays at home, then it'd be the same as last year.

Yeah but isn't it a huge problem for semipros who also study like Welmu? I mean if you want to avoid too much jetlag you have to be there 1 or 2 whole days before the actual event ; add the flight time to that...

Also, I couldn't find info if the transatlantic flights/hotels are paid by WCS or players? All this short-notice travel is expensive as hell, but if paid by WCS, it's a little less of a problem of course (only the time, annoyance of sitting in a plane and jet-leg remain).

Thanks, that is quite cool. Still a little weird and I don't think really necessary to mix the players already in Ro32, but let's wait what the players themselves will say about it.

I believe foreigners should finally have a big chance to win a WCS championship for once.

Group 8 seems the hardest to predict for me, ZvZ is so volatile. Snute has issues sometimes losing to preassure in the matchup, so don't count on him acing the group 4-0, although stat-wise he's the most likely to do so.

Nothing would surprise me here.

I find it weird that the dates for Ro32 haven't been set yet.. I mean, some people have to travel half across the world for this (which is ok, but I think perhaps some of them would have appreciated knowing when and where they're supposed to show up.)

Anyone know why this isn't decided yet? Did I miss something? GSL have all the dates set for the remainder of the season, for comparison.

I hope ESL has told the Players where they have to play and will not announce it when they announce it to us.
Alot of VISAs have to begrabbed and Germany doesnt accept (Shorttime-)Sportsvisa for E-Sports-Players like the U.S. And we will play 4 Groups here. Could be tough for LA and PRC Players to optain a Visa in this short time.

I really thought we would play 4 Groups in Europe only with Europeens + 2 out another place and 4 groups in the US out of US, LA, SEA, PRC and RoC
