Wait, what the fuck? Am I reading correctly that there’s a WCS event in JANUARY that just got announced, and the qualifiers are before the balance patch?

scheduling of this is far from ideal - but as is life in total... I'm quite sure, they didn't do this short term scheduling for purpose or to annoy the players and viewers. If they had other viable options for scheduling, it's in the organizers own interest to do so.
So instead of blaming the organizers and complaining about unlucky schedules, I'm just pleased, there is a great tournament in early 2018.
Good job WCS and DH in setting up that event - and hopefully you will do more consistent planning in the future

They've rescheduled the qualifiers, they're in January now

Awesome, it's nice that they reacted.

I mean, I guess that's better, but now the non-EU people who qualify will get 2.5 weeks notice of a 6 day trip to Europe. Kinda crazy still imo.
Not sure when DH Leipzig '18 was first announced, but I know no later than June 20 from this announcement. At what point was it decided it was gonna be a WCS event? If it was known privately for a long time, why wait so long to announce it publicly? If it wasn't decided until very recently, how is it these things still take until the latest feasible moments to finalize, when people have been doing this for so many years now? Honestly just curious about these things. The people inconvenienced by these organizers/planners deserve an explanation, out of basic host-guest etiquette and also out of professional courtesy and respect.

I can accept the notice is rather short but as a spectator/SC2 fan I'm just happy to see it announced and look forward to watching.
I'm also happy the qualifiers have been delayed as I find Terran to be the most entertaining race to watch and I was worried none of them would qualify (I suppose the new patch would have come in before the qualifiers anyway though).

Well u can go on the 2nd Day for sure , after the 1 day ur done in the Tournament.

Dreamhack Leipzig confirmed to be played on the map pool that will be added to ladder three days prior to the event. Scheduling's been really awful this year round.

I swear they're trying really hard to f*ck up this event as much as possible
