So that's a pretty big difference. An official announcement from Blizzard would really be nice though.
That actually doesn't mean anything because WCS Challenger doesn't exist and hasn't been announced. It literally clarifies nothing.

If we take Noregret at his word, wouldn't that mean that WCS Challenger is confirmed?
Personally I don't think it's a huge stretch to imagine that WCS Challenger will be a thing in 2019, and they just haven't gotten around to announcing it yet. The WCS system doesn't just spring into existence the instant that Blizzard makes its official announcement.
And if I remember correctly, wasn't "Either GSL or WCS Challenger" the same deal that TRUE got last year?

Okay then you are literally just speculating. And that was not what happened to TRUE was at all—it was based around the # of days you need to reside in a Circuit region to stay eligible. Seriously I should just delete your posts because they are 90% misinformation.

Never change Blizzard, never change

Blizz and afreeca might want to up their communication game.

With all due respect, isn't everyone in this thread speculating? We've got zero official information. What makes my speculation so egregious?
And here's the Blizzard announcement about TRUE, which is literally titled "TRUE Chooses GSL over Challenger." I get that TRUE being Korean means some visa and residency stuff, but doesn't it still boil down to "Either GSL or WCS Challenger" like I said?

Stop dragging TRUE into this, different thing.
TL, DR about TRUE: You have to live 30 days in the region before competing otherwise you're not eligible to compete as a Korean in WCS(#noRacism). Because of this shitty rule you cannot in these 30 days compete in GSL as GSL is an offline tournament. Therefore TRUE had to choose if he goes to Korea and competes in GSL and thus loses the possibility to compete in the next WCS or stays and gives up GSL.

Thanks for explaining.
I understand that TRUE, being Korean, is forced to follow the 30-day residency rule. So if what Noregret said is correct, this means foreigners would be able to play in GSL, fly out for a weekend to play in WCS (open bracket), and then return to play in GSL again. I think?

TIME was plan to fly to Korea since GSL Offline S1 Qualifier gonna start at 25 Jan KST. It's literally tomorrow. And now he have to cancel his flight since this.

It would be as fair as it is stupid to cut foreigners from competing in GSL: 2 spots in the Ro32 is not gonna do shit to the Korean scene, while the absence of non-koreans in GSL is gonna drop the viewership i na substantial way.
It would also mean the closure of the foreigner house in Korea, since non of them would be even close to get enough points to qualify for Blizzcon (unless they stay in Korea for different reasons non related to SC2, like they prefer to live there, etc.).

Given the limited information available, I don't think I can understand why he would do that. If what Noregret is says is true, then he could still play in GSL and then just go to the WCS open bracket. Unless he doesn't believe he can make it through the open bracket at WCS events?
If we're lucky, Blizzard will say something about this tomorrow or Friday.

Cloudy told TIME that the rules was changed before TIME gonna take the flight. Cloudy did not mention any information about GSL Challenger or things like that. Since TIME did not post the exact information about Cloudy's email. Perhaps Cloudy misunderstood the email or NoRegret misunderstood the rules.

I think the overall choice to make this change is good, and I'm glad the tweet Solar posted speaking for the Korean pros actually had some impact.
With that being said, the announcements and communication with the public by Blizzard has been super choppy recently, I wonder what's up with that..

I think are just too many unknowns to do more than speculate right now. Hopefully Blizzard clarifies things soon.

All the foreigners that have planned to play in GSL also plan to play in every single WCS event (there's no reason not to...). Don't act like this announcement would screw them over; they just get a slightly less money (unlikely that most of them would even qualify for GSL anyway).
And stop saying that viewership will plummet, no one likes to watch Elazer get roflstomped by Rogue and Maru. The only foreigner that people enjoy watching play in GSL is Scarlett. And Scarlett's fans aren't all going to stop watching GSL because she can't play.

Technically speaking mjr Special, Raynor and Neeb should be able to get into RO16. So while I agree on the Elazer thingy, at least these 3 are capable and won't get stomped.

According to the old rules and ShoeRegret - yes, that's how I understand it as well.

I know its not "fair" that foreigners can play in both series before now but it is what worked for the scene and I can't see many if any giving WCS up for GSL (means no blizzcon most likely and a huge prize money drop)
Terrible decision - we might see up and comers now this is stupid.
Don't give them the chance to qualify THE KOREAN SCENE MUST DIE
And it didn't work for the scene, it only worked for elitist foreigner fanboys who don't care about koreans getting fucked over.
Ask DRGling or ByuL if the system worked

Can anyone tell me why scarlett can't compete in GSL as she live in Korea full time? Is the "30 days" rules doesn't apply here?

We don't really know the exact terms of this decision, so we'd better wait before speaking; only koreans allowed in GSL would be consistent with the region lock now that apparently even EU and NA have separate leagues.
In any of case, you should ask GSL's organizers if the audience was indeed better when there were foreigners in the competition; as for newcomers, there were more than a few in 2017 and it most likely wasn't the "army of foreigners" to make them resign but the extremely top heavy prize distribution.
