EU and NA getting handy spots IMO. Why not have a global qualifier where they have to compete to qualify against Koreans?
A Kespa Cup is better than no Kespa Cup I guess, but EU/NA getting more welfare by the looks of it.

Maybe they had to give EU and NA guaranteed spots in exchange for the guaranteed spots for Proleague players. Or maybe, against all odds, they don't mind as much.

WCS handbook says they only needed the 8 Global Qualifiers spots, they can do w/e with the rest

Korean tournaments profit from having foreigners in their tournaments, it's that simple. People watch foreigners.

Finally an A-class tournament!

I'm fine with a couple foreigners being invited like Neeb or Nerchio or someone similarly skilled. Will be an interesting preview before Blizzcon.

Btw what except for Neebs recent run in the Olimo Cup makes people think that foreigners will be able to beat Koreans? I do not mean any offense, but when there is 8 people going through KR only qualifiers + herO, Maru, Zest and Stats the only chance i see for the foreigners is Zest going for a cannon rush lol

Actually think I read it wrong, like a lot of people apparently, so these EU and NA spots are going to by decided through EU and NA qualifiers then? I like that better, At least they'll have to play to earn the spot, granted it's against EU and NA players.

I was annoyed because I thought they were just going to select 4 foreigners just like they select the Proleague players.

Yeah korean fans also want to see foreigners compete, GSL did not give seeds to foreigners because of welfare,kthey just wanted to see foreigners in korea. It's hype.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Incredibly relieved to be able to point to this and say "but we did have a Global Event!" when the discussion about WCS 2017 starts.

Yeah it's a huge relief, I only wish the winner of this would get an invite to Blizzcon.

Imagine the hype if Neeb makes it kinda deep into the tournament, or at least doesn't die in the first round

Then the Korean opponent will be mocked forever.
