Are you sure WCS is truly the best way to see who the best players are? well, sOs and life didn't perform that well before WCS. Performing well the entire year doesn't mean those players are guaranteed to perform well at the global finals. | ||

Hydra can still play in weekend tournaments and it'll make it easier for the rest of the ROOT boys to make better runs with less Koreans around. | ||

My point is that Blizzard was probably facing a much worse alternative: No coverage at all from Dreamhack/ESL going into 2016. (unless they decided to give them even more money). On Remax Desrow said (according to some rumors he heard) that ESL wasn't interested in doing more WCS, and that kinda makes sense with these news. Hence they decided to cut costs on WCS and give them to tournament organizers so they at least would continue to run events. | ||

Some context would be very helpful. But OK, won't jump off any bridges in the meantime. | ||
