Participants are required to play all tournament and ladder games required of them from the country listed on the account during the tournament season Participants are required to win 100 ladder games per month in their home region Dissapointed no more emphasis was put into ladder play | ||

Overall more money for WCS, so that's good. I hope they really enforce their residency rules. | ||

SSL vs GSL = two Bo7 (?) series over the course of the entire year, so... maybe two hours of SC2 content? If the same player doesn't win GSL and SSL in which case he can't possibly play against himself? Lol. So hype. | ||

http://wcs.battle.net/sc2/en/articles/2016-wcs-details-and-requirements It is detailed here what is the eligibility for playing in WCS Welfare. Things to note: - there is still an exception for people who "can demonstrate consistent residency in a region starting on or before January 1, 2013" (even though it's hard to imagine someone is staying that long somewhere and does not have a visa that qualifies him anyway) - being a progamer is now full-time slavery, where you can't leave your home region for more than 5 weeks in a year. | ||

Like, it's not 2000, people want the competition, even if they want their hometown heroes to strive. And not many Koreans will sign up to this slavery of Blizzard controlling you for the whole year. Given we don't have too many tournament orgs nowdays (basically IEM/DH and DH already has CS:GO as a primary game). Still suxlol. At least they didn't give WCS points to Proleague, thank God. | ||

In general i kinda like the format with bigger events, etc BUT i dislike it being foreigner only, haha. I also don't see how this helps foreigners who aren't already on some team. Newcomers simply cannot travel to these events, no? Only 2 GSL/SSL tournaments sucks too. Crossover tourny is nice, but on the other hand it also makes GSL/SSL count less. "HEY Byul won that SSL and soO that GSL!!! Well Byun won the crossover  " meh I guess it is what it is :/ | ||

Well, they explicitly mention partnership with ESL and Dreamhack, so take your guess what the organizers think. | ||

As I said before, it literally doesn't matter what changes they make to WCS points in Korea, because Koreans are only being compared against other Koreans. It matters for individual players, but for the region as a whole, they're going to have the exact same amount of representation regardless of how well anyone performs. | ||
