Other than Neeb, Special or Scarlett, I wonder how many players outside Europe are willing to go since only top 8 have money. Do they have support for travel and accommodation?
Anyway, it is always welcome to see more tournaments.

Maybe they feared too many koreans would try to participate if GSL points were given while the intent of a WCS stop is to assign points for Circuit only. Actually, how does this work? Are the points won by a non WCS player not assigned or given to the first eligible WCS player? I'd imagine any korean players who enter simply don't get any points out of it. | ||

It would be unfair to reallocate them, and probably a big hassle for blizzard given how long/scrict the WCS handbook is. | ||

It's UP TO 3200 points awarded—some could go unearned if a Korean player takes a point-giving spot. | ||
