That is good news, I think. December is STACKED with events.

But it seems to indicate further segregation in WCS? We shall have to see. :/

Doesn't imply anything we didn't already have this year.


I know, I know... just kinda hopeful for change, I guess.

It seems a little weird that a tournament a month from now will be on the old map pool.

Anyway should be a fun event and I hope more complete WCS information comes out soon.

so that implies there will still be separate WCS ? I don't think the scene is healthy enough to sustain them, or with fewer tournaments with no residency / citizenship restrictions.

Too fucking late Blizzard.

You already killed the Korean scene.

Why couldn't you do this during the 2016 year?

It actually is too late to save WCS Korea. Also, the total prize pool is 35 000 USD. Wasnt that the money for GSL first place only? you cant support the korean scene with such little, its just stupid. They really should have thought two times before killing the korean scene.

I'm all for getting the party started right away but players who are good 11 months before Blizzcon may not be good at Blizzcon.

I kinda wish they held off on giving out points until February or March. You can still have the tournament in December but it's difficult to know if the winner is going to stay at their level for nearly an entire year. Especially since the professional scene will remain volatile due to the new patch and unchanged nature of Starcraft 2.

But that sort of applies to stuff in January-February too, ya? Someone who wins the first GSL of the year isn't necessarily going to be the best when Blizzcon comes around. And I think the Korean scene needs everything it can get right now...

There is a real world issue of there not being enough time to schedule all the tournaments, give players enough revenue to continue playing, give player opportunity to compete..

But I dunno man. I'm seeing this and thinking "Will the winner be the best player of 2017 before 2017 even starts?". I'm thinking that it's going to reflect who from 2016 adapted the fastest to the new patch.

Maximizing the skill of the players at Blizzcon is hardly the goal of WCS or any sort of circuit event for that matter. If it was you'd just pick the best players of the last few months, or hold a bunch of qualifiers.

I don't know what to say to that. It's a tournament to help decide who the most deserving players through skill.


Deserving players displaying skill over the past year of play. Not at the time of Blizzcon. It's to tie all the storylines of the year together, and give some continuity to the SCII scene.

Why don't we save the IEM/Blizzard/Apollo are killing SC2 posts for the actual WCS announcement instead of deciding that IEM being a WCS Korea event means everything is dead?

It really makes no sense to me.

Byun will probably forfeit this tournament, since it overlaps with WCA and it has a much higher prize pool with a lower skill level. Then again, there's no guarantee he will get paid from WCA, so who knows

Cool!!! What a surprise, another BIG tournament in 2016!!! Gonna be good!!! But why didn't IEM announce this earlier???

And to all the people complaining: STFU and GTFO, even without the F. I mean, come on, the map pool is because it's gonna be on the new patch, obviously. So the players can really get to show the changes in it, which are not based on maps. Second: Some troll complained about small prize pool: Dude SC2 is now a mid-tier game in terms of viewership. It was bloated and now it's shrunk. Of course it can't pay the rent of all the players!

Rooting for Byun and Maru of course. And $0$, and Ryung. And Parting :D
