Kind of worried about it.
they spent almost the entirety of WCS 2015 with the "rich get richer" method of inviting people

we could limit cs:go tournaments for AM teams only isn't that a great idea by the way?

Hmm, they dont have to invite chinese guys, because the offline quallifier will be most like only China and TW players.
When I have to guess: 2 top EU (or players who counted once to top EU) 1 CN, 1 Korean who is allowed to play in WCS.
So: Lilbow, Snute, Mystery, Hydra?

You mean, Turner E-League?
In CS:GO there is one difference: While EU has the best team, NA has by far more money at the moment.

It is funny that the Chinese scene is pretty excited for the tournament and the new WCS system as a whole. We are shortsighted I guess

I bet the only WCS Global event will be Blizzcon itself.

Yeah, it will be a tough one. I sense sleepless nights coming up here.

The players now actually have a chance to qualify for Premier tournaments because they no longer have to share qualifying spots with Korea. Their favorite Chinese players have a better chance than ever to prove themselves outside of their country.

Essentially it is the same gain as any non-Korean country: non-Korean players get more tournaments to play, more exposure and of course more money, it is just that China gets a bit more gains due to previous limits, but the difference in reaction is pretty glaring. We don't really see concern like "lowering the skill level of tournaments" or "no Korean no watch", in fact the viewership of DH Leipzig here is as high as last year's WCS global events.

cool tournament !
Only 2 slots for EU is a joke.

If I was a Chinese player I'd be damn happy with the new system, since I wouldn't get screwed by the "Asia qualifiers" anymore (which were always won by Koreans).
So I don't get what your first comment comes from

In fact if you look at the qualifiers of both DH Leipzig and WCS Winter, realistically the only spot(s) available to Chinese players is still the one Chinese qualifier, having to play on US servers to qualify is insanely hard for Chinese players due to lag. Actually this WCS Shanghai event is probably the only event Chinese players can play/qualify en masse.

I think, this will be a good tournament and the awesome thing is that we will be able to laugh about the winner being beaten by some second tier Korean after the tournament :-)
So for me, 100 points up compared to some standard DH or IEM. As with IEM, they are even liing to the public by saying "The best players will be playing at the World Championship in Katowice". The Chinese did it great with this showmatch after the tournament. Of course if they invite someone reasonable.

I think selfish is probably the wrong word? It is not the "Chinese people" that will be earning any moneys, am I right? Selfish has to do with getting benefits for your self.

I think you benefit quite a lot from it and it's fair since the chinese scene is actually making progress

Ugh, disgusted with this WCS.
