Wouldn't it make more sense for challenger players to pick rather than premier?

It's kinda weird that they want in theory "better" players (premier league) to have an advantage over challenger league players by letting them pick their best match-up.

That's how sports work. The team with the better record gets home field/court in playoffs. The highest ranked team usually plays against the lowest ranked team in the playoffs. Incentive to win.

Yes, but this isn't the playoffs, its the regular season. Its like if the Yankees got to pick their opponents for the first month of the regular season. Gee, I wonder if the Yankees will always manage to have a great first month!? Such hype! Oh wait..

Three of the regions only have 2 players to pick from! And China only has 4, so not a ton of choice there either. It'll mainly be interesting for NA and Europe, which have 8 and 14 players coming through qualifiers. I think it'll be a good system, especially if the picks are presented to the audience well. Of course, this amendment invalidates the WCS 2015 handbook they finally released

Very helpful that they're releasing a schedule this far in advance as well. I hope this is their new minimum standard.

USA/CAN and EU are the only regions required to use this picking system, the rest can continue to run whatever best fits their regions.

wcs points only within wcs? This sneep picking thing can be pretty boring. Possible that we see A vs B, C vs D, E vs F and G vs H two times in a row in ro8, and not A vs C or something in ro8.

Premier pick should work so long as they actually try to pick the weakest players. If they just use it as opportunity to try and snipe moderately good players, rivals, or players who are really popular then I could see it going south very quickly.

If he's picked last wouldn't that mean people think he's really good?
