Even if that's right. which doesn't sound like that from the requirements blog, there is a thing. These events award prize pool and points for the WCS Circuit. So, uh, it doesn't boost your chances of getting through the Korean circuit. Tfw it's about 5000 events. God dammit. | ||

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. It would be good to start using the name everywhere it appears - as it is a perfect description. WCS WELFARE So it is true, they took away from us all the good events as IEM and DH. I just hope, some organizers will refuse it and organize a good tournament with good players from both worlds. I am also sorry that only 8 world's best players will be playing at BlizzCon. Think about the player number 9. Number 10. No more good dreamhack, no more good IEM, one season in GSL and SSL less ... fucking bad news :-( | ||

Only money A WCS Global event (WCS 7500) gives 1500 points to the winner. Considering that the amount of Korean leagues is limited and not everyone can qualify, those points can be everything. | ||
