A total of 4000 points will be given out at this particular event. During the Grand Finals, top StarCraft II and Heroes of the Storm players from around the world will be able to play on cutting-edge MSI GAMING products that help them showcase their skills and perform at their best.
Looks like it'll be a WCS Tier 2 event (>$25,000 prize pool)

How come there's only 1 qualifier per region? Can we expand the tournament to 32??
|
Lets hope that europeans are able to play in EU qualifier immediatly after wcs /= but I guess it will be like copenhagen games - no top europeans to give other regions a chance

expanding the tournament to 32 is way more expensive than having 16 players, for not a significant viewership increase. I agree though 32 players would be sweet
