But implying or maintaining the misconception that there will be even close to as many WCS Global-type events in 2016 as in 2015 if there might in fact be none is platantly lying and hoping the community will forgive them as soon as they see the changes in action. If they'd really be convinced of that they should not be representative casters of Professional starcraft. Maybe we could introduce some new terminology to Starcraft. Professional Starcraft -> Highest level, includes Koreans Amateur Starcraft -> High Drama Content, No Koreans allowed!!! WCS 2016 -> WCS Welfare World Championship Series -> WCS Slaughterhouse Just to avoid confusion | ||

Alot of top foreigner have been know for exessive drama and problematic personality. Maybe it is a law? Foreigners can only be on top, if they have challenging personality. | ||

All this to have a Blizzcon tournament, where ~8 players (maybe 6, considering Polt/Hydra are going to be there as foreigners) will get crushed in the first round, without winning a map. Sorry, I really hate these changes. And I really doubt, it's gonna help the foreign scene. And Blizzcon 2016 is probably gonna be the worst ever. The changes are mainly good for people like Stephano etc. They don't need to be professionals anymore in order to gain some money. All the strong players are gone anyway | ||

WCS 2016 -> WCS Welfare World Championship Series -> WCS Slaughterhouse Just to avoid confusion Nice, I already started to use the "WCS Welfare" circuit yesterday and will not do otherwise. The sad thing is that I am living quite close to Poland and I was planning to go to the IEM World championship this year to see the best SC2. OK, I will save the money. I am just sad that as there are some good Polish players, I am sure, the Polish crowd will support even this event, so IEM will not see, how they destroyed the viewership. So this means, there will not be any WCS Global Events, right? The worst nightmare is real. Thank you Blizzard, thank you IEM. We are lucky to have proleague, but I am sad, as watching Koreans in Korea playing Koreans is not exactly what I liked. I liked big offline events in the west with western production, interviews, casters ... Where best Koreans were playing the best Koreans, eventually foreign players, This was exactly what IEM was offering. Thank you Snute for your performance at IEM last year. But there will be no more reasonable IEM. Fuck you Blizzard. Fuck you IEM. Fuck you Apollo and other "supporters". Fuck you all foreign players! Please, Dennis, find some new German sponsors and change Homestory cup's prize pool to 50k, to 75k, and do Korean qualifiers with lots of spots and cover at least partially their travel costs. I promise you, you will become the most watched event of the year 2016! And thank you very much, Team Liquid Writers, Moderators, Administrators, for not playing this artificial celebration wave, explaining to the world, how great this new system is. I understand, it is not easy not to celebrate the hand, that also feeds you. Thank you for being honest. Long live Team Liquid! User was warned for this post | ||

Goodbye chances to see your fav KR player unless he is among the best 8 and you can afford going to Blizzcon (lol). It doesn't hurt me because there were barely any events near my area (oh now I appreciate even more that I got to meet herO at Sao Paulo!!), but I understand your frustration. | ||
