Is there going to be a proper vanilla WCS tourney ala GSL? If yes, how many and when? Or is the WCS Circuit still making tourneys up as they move along? As much as it's nice to have surprise announcements springing up, surely it's nicer for the players and viewers to have some clarity on the entire 2016 schedule. It's quite disconcerting that things are still being worked out behind the scenes. Blizzard has the clout and finances to make things happen by now (where as it's understandable for KeSPA to struggle with Proleague/GSL/SSL due to sponsorship issues and Blizzard's sudden WCS changes). | ||

It is a week long event, not something rushed in a weekend. | ||

Interesting, so at the same time as the Proleague play offs. The winner of these two events is obvious. But good that after the Proleague finishes, we can switch to GPL :-) | ||

And it is all kill, so it might be just 4 BO1 matches. So Proleague should end much sooner. But that applies just for the groups A and B. Group C will be played when GSL starts and that will last certainly longer. But we could watch at least group D. | ||
