The epic clash of one StarCraft II region versus many is just around the corner. From August 3 to 6, players will face off in team and individual competition for $100,000, and the pride of Korea or the World. The teams are now being formed, so check below for details on how you can get involved in voting your favorite player in!

The Teams

Each team will be made of 8 players through a mix of invited and online voting.

To kick off each team with a solid roster of players, we’ll be inviting the top 4 point earning players to each team. The finish off each roster, you will be able to vote in a representative of the mighty Zerg, Terran, and Protoss factions into the tournament. Candidates will be drawn from the top of the WCS Standings.

To fill the final eighth place in the lineup, Korea will have one “Wildcard” spot. After the top player is selected from each race, all the 2nd place votes will be compared, and the highest from whichever faction will get the final position!

For the World team, our Chinese fans won’t be able to participate in general vote, so we’ll be opening up the 8th spot to a dedicated China representative based on WCS points.

Voting is open now for all placements until 10:00am PDT on July 19!

The fact that this is a fan vote is nauseating. Let players earn the right to compete through their own merit instead of it becoming a loaded popularity contest.

He won't because ByuN was always going to win the fan vote for Terran.

Poor GuMiho.
Completely agree with you too, shouldn't be a vote. Just because LoL does it with All-stars doesn't mean SC2 needs it :/

Agreed, it's appalling. The GSL champion's only hope of getting into GSL vs The World at this rate is hoping for the wild card. Which is also based on the stupid polls.

I see, all korean ro8 then.
Good thing there's also this team tournament so the foreigners don't fly over to play 1 bo5.
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment
