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.

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. | ||

Would those be wasted, tho, or reallocated so that a player ending fifth could get 600 points in a korean heavy scenario? | ||

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. | ||
