Nothing is changing from last season except they're doing a full fledge tournament instead of just running qualifiers. Latin America still only get two spots for WCS Premier.

oh ok, thank you
still don't like how most (all?) of the regional qualifiers seed into premier and not challenger

1st place: 4,800$, 100 WCS points (premier seed) and 15 Copa América points.
2nd place: 4,600$, 100 WCS points (premier seed) and 12 Copa América points.
3rd place: 2,100$, 50 WCS points, 10 CA points
4th place: 2,000$, 50 WCS points, 8 CA points

I am not sure whether i like the prizepool distribution or not.
3rd/4th seems ok, but I feel like there should be a greater difference between 1st and 2nd. But al least it will be less stressful for the players, I guess.

I agree, but why is this a worthwhile statement? Especially in a topic such as this one? MajOr is not one of the best players in the world, but he still went undefeated in all of Copa America 2013 and all of Copa America 2014. Being a random guy from Chile dissing MajOr in a Copa America topic is questionable.

Anyways, this is awesome news. I've been waiting for Copa America to be added to the WCS system. Very happy now.

I know the LA scene since 2010 and I can tell you, back in the day there were far more better players than Major (KilleR, Fenix, Potiguar, etc). For the majority of WoL, Major was known in the scene as a bad-mannered fat guy who threw shit to the scene like a wind fan.

Now that Fenix and Killer have retired, Major took the spot as the best LA player. But if we look at results, for a guy who went to Korea to train, his training regime hasn't paid off.

Now, Kelazhur is better than Major, imo.

I really don't know of any Latin or South American player who actually puts up results and has a somewhat name for himself other than Major. He fluctuates in his results and sometimes is a damn good Terran and other times, people wonder wtf he's doing, but there's no denying his ability at SC2.

Chilean Zerg Killer has far more better results at premiere tournaments than Major, and that is a shame, since Killer was a half-time progamer and Major even went to Korea to train on a Kespa team.

Major's premiere results: RO16 WCS AM
Killer's premiere results: RO8 WCS Global Finals 2012, RO4 IEM New York (the one who won DRG).
