Definitey the best outcome to have both games as two separate tournaments. BW gets an invitational, and SC2 gets a leaner WCS/GSL-style tournament.

Very nice. Can't wait for more BW.

Hoping Blizzard can get SC2 in a slightly better state before then. Happy for it regardless.

Great news for SSL SC2. Personally don't like the involvement of BW but whatever. Also, need a bit clarification of format, prize pool and WCS points (which I see on the image). egernya tried to explain the format a bit but I'm still very confused.
