both serral and maru better make it to the final this time

EU is going to edge out NA spots for Blizzcon with these extra points unless Neeb, Scarlett and Special go.

Very nice that they're handing out WCS points, let's hope most of the top western pros show up! Too bad I can't attend due to my military service but hey there's the stream at least

Guys, what's with all the pessimism?
This is a good thing!

Online quilifiers on WHAT server?
Also Invited and qualified players should cover all their travel and accommodation expenses themselves
I don't know how many Koreans will be able to qualify if the qualifier is on the EU server and how many teams will cover the costs to fly people to Finland. I believe similar issues were mentioned from Take for HSC.
I'm not expecting this to be that big.
Edit> Actually applies to any nonEU players. Flight costs are big, I wouldn't be surprised if this happened to be European tournament, considering the prize distribution.

This tournament was announced yesterday and we did not know anything about it before, yet people seem to be complaining; we could even have some korean in a WCS stop, the alternative would have been no tournament at all...

It's great there is a tournament, but not really a fan of top heavy tournament prize pools.

Because all I saw was calming down the hype because, let's face it, it doesn't look as promising as people are trying to make it.

This is huge, perhaps start of new era of foreigner + korean tournament?

Maybe toxic is the wrong word here. I apologize
Fact is: There is a tournament where none was before. Most people here appreciate that fact.
Some are just looking to make everything bad
