I really hope that there will be 16 participants in the next WCS global finals based on points they earned without the division between world and Korea.
Having a week to practice against certain opponents there's still only 2 out of 8 non-Koreans who advance further.
And we all saw what happened to Major in Ro4. Easy win for soO.
This man suffers from a bad heart, but I have plenty of medicine.

Basing things purely on points earned doesn't make any sense whatsoever since Korea and the world play in different tournaments...

The separation is a must nowadays anyway, but it has to be more based on the skill. 10:6 for Korea seems much more fair. It's just 2 spots taken away from foreigners and that sounds to me generous, even 12:4 would be fine, but also very harsh.

With Korea locked away there's no way how to decide who qualifies and who doesn't purely based on points.

Actually the best way would be a 12 set spots(8K+4F) and a tournament for the last 4 spots between top16 foreigners and top16 Koreans. Or top20 vs top12 because more Koreans got the set spot and Koreans have better chance of taking the spots anyway, this way some random foreigner hero can appear and save the galaxy. They would have a chance, we would have a tourney, top12 would get the preparation needed. There are many options but in the end it's all about money.

Honestly - the best possible option(IMO) - if Blizzard gets enough money through microtransactions *cough* free to play *cough* instead of giving more money to top players how about we would get more players into the tourney?
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

they should have 32 slots instead of 16. and group stages should be BO5 instead of BO3 to eliminate variance. major did well, but would he have beaten TY in a BO5? then the foreigner spots wouldn't have been as big of a deal

The best solution is to revert to pre-LotV region lock and WCS Global finals format except make the semis bo7.

They need to keep it to the Top 16 for the playoffs. But instead of the ridiculous Group Play that they've had the last 2 years (just can't stand it) they need to go back to the bracket style (which they've done before) where the weekend before Blizzcon they hold the Round of 16. 4 Matches on Friday and the other 4 on Saturday. Then everything remains the same (with Quarters, Final Four and Final at BlizzCon).
I think for the tournament until the Semi's it should be Bo5. The Semi's and the Grand Final should be Bo7
As for the #'s from each region that should be in the Playoffs, I also believe that they should take the Top 10 from Korea and the Top 6 from the WCS Circuit (and this is being generous to the WCS Circuit).

He may have gotten second again......but he gets first place for always having his head high and trying again.

Like Sylvester Stallone quoted "Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!"

soO is a star

I think everybody agrees that 8 foreigners is simply too much.
4 is a good number.
2 even better
