The cheapest round trip cost from East Asia (Seoul or Beijing) to Helsinki is $700+, and more than $1000 from American continent, while the cost from most major Europe city may be less than $300.
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.

I think it's WCS Circuit event? IE no koreans

no region lock, Koreans can play, but not earn any points

That seems like a such a strange ruling. Is it really a lot of effort to just add any points they win to the KR standings?

They haven't said how qualifiers or invites will work either so there's a chance not many koreans will end up at the event.

Edit: I wonder when GSL vs The World will be announced as well, the date for it on liquipedia overlaps with this event.


Qualifiers are online. It's a Circuit event without region lock, I guess you could at least appreciate the fact koreans are allowed in the tournament! 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.

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

Those points are likely just wasted. It would be unfair to reallocate them, and probably a big hassle for blizzard given how long/scrict the WCS handbook is.

Points are locked to the tournament finish. It's UP TO 3200 points awarded—some could go unearned if a Korean player takes a point-giving spot.

Pretty amazing to see a tournament pop out of no where like this. I really hope there are some really good koreans attending though. I don't see myself having much interest if it's almost only foreigners. We already have challenger + 4 WCS to watch circuit players.

Awesome news!
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

In regards to the wcs points given to a eurocentric tournament, NA just needs to host its own wcs point-giving tournament, with hookers (vipers) and blow (banelings).
