The second circuit event of the 2019 StarCraft II World Championship Series will take place in Kiev Cybersport Arena from May 17 to 19, and we are pleased to announce that registration for players and casters, as well as Priority Pass sales, have begun! Epic action with some of the most talented StarCraft II players and $100,000 on the line awaits!

[image loading]

Although the venue is only open to tournament participants on Friday, May 17, you can visit WCS Spring as a spectator on Saturday and Sunday May 18-19. Both days will start at 14:00 local time (GMT +3) and entry is absolutely free. However, as we expect a very high attendance, you have the option of buying a Priority Pass which will help you to avoid long queues. Priority Pass tickets can be purchased on tickets.starladder.tv.

Players in Master League or higher can apply for the 64 open slots in the tournament via the registration form — and, as always, 16 winners from WCS Challenger will join the competition with travel and accommodation fully covered by Blizzard. The early stages of the tournament will be open to the community broadcasters, so if you stream StarCraft II and want to cover the WCS Spring matches on Twitch, please register here.

The general tournament system of WCS Circuit remains the same. However, we have applied a few changes to the tournament format–each player who drops out in the Group Stage of WCS Spring will get a second chance in the knockout brackets. We will give more details on this in the coming weeks in a dedicated announcement.

If you have any questions regarding the WCS Spring event in Kiev and its organization, please do not hesitate to reach out at: starcraft@starladder.tv.

Nope, gonna be weekend tournaments with with a live audience and probably more casting/hosting talent.

Interesting to see that there will be a knock out bracket.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

No, it will be similar to the previous WCS Circuit events with a little tweak of knockout brackets mentioned in the post.

Thanks guys, that's good news, I guess! I don't wanna complain, it's awesome that Blizz is sponsoring those tournaments, but this WCS Winter was so low-hype for me, I don't know... I get it that round robin group stage is more fair for the players, but the playoffs format was really awful, and the fact that it was split into NA and EU made it even more weird.

So am I understanding correctly that Scarlett can get in the open qualifiers and still compete in this? (I hope so! The rules around playing in GSL and WCS are confusing though).
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

Here is what the rules say:
Players who are eligible to compete in the WCS Circuit will become ineligible to compete in a
season of Challenger if they qualify for a corresponding season of the Global StarCraft II
League (GSL) Code S and vice versa in the first season of the year.
• Explicitly: If you qualify for GSL Season 1 you will not be eligible to
compete in Challenger Season 1 and vice versa
• These restrictions will not prevent any player for signing up for the open
bracket portion of WCS Circuit events
