So I guess G2A is a no go as a sponsor, if you want to compete in WCS?

G2A and Kinguin are the big two right now. Is that just for individual players or for organizations?


I assume they're just gonna force them to take off the patches/cover them up when competing in WCS?

Players are required to be ready and check in at their game station
at the time designated by the tournament organizer, but not exceeding 120 minutes before the match starts, and
complete game preparations including PC setup. If the player requires additional time after
setup has completed, additional time is at the purview of the tournament administrator.

Found a typo, Good job Blizzrad

Well now that the OP has been transferred to Aeromi the first comment looks weird as fuck >.>
edit : I really dislike that rule about only the champion getting back into Premier tbh. It would have been nice if Challenger had been groups, but with the shitty single Bo5 format it makes it so random...
edit² : there are some typos as well, are you serious Blizzard

Repeated warnings may lead to directly to disqualification.

edit^3 : oh hey guys, maybe NSSL will bring some cool maps next season as well :D
Hahaha and apparently a WCS Tier 1 event needs free 720p but nothing about WCS, GSL and NSSL. Good one, Blizz.

I seriously don't understand treating the two regions of this supposedly global league so differently. It's not enough that formats and scheduling are different between the two regions, but now even map pools will probably be different? wtf?

edit: On top of that, even the Global events will be forced to use ladder map pool. =/

The handbook is ok but there is two mistakes, there is no ForGG rule and we don't know if games are played on normal or faster in game.

Well now that you ve said it, let s see if they fix it. What is the ForGG rule though? (Sorry I m ignorant). As for game speed, it is a valid point you are raising: it should be in the rules!
Go Aeromi for president/wcs head admin!

ForGG rule, is the rule that makes it possible for ForGG to compete in WCS EU, where it (apparantly) isn't possible for others like ; First, Yoda etc, which was living in the EU since */*/2013 *

For comparison, in 2014 handbook the rule was "Gambling – Players are not allowed to place wagers on any matches or actions in, or around, the World Championship Series."
