What exactly prevent that? GSL vs Worlds, you get eligibility to WCS Grand Finals by winning it? If you're Korean do you get such eligibility by winning this tournament? If so, then why not count also points for the same purpose? Please, Correct me if I'm wrong with the basic assumptions. ADD: Regardless of exact status of the tournament and background thinking behind it (by Blizzard), every practical action that increase the competitive potential and intermingling between regions is good thing in current overall situation. I simply don't get it why there couldn't be tournaments where points are shared regardless of where participants are coming from, as by definition of region lock, gathered points by one player in one region doesn't impact to gathered points of another player playing in another region. If players from one region take all top spots and thus majority of points from that common tournament, it doesn't make difference to order of players of other region, but it makes the scene more competitive and offer the initiative to participate off-region tournaments. There would be also better ways to measure what would be most suitable quota for regions to participate The Grand Finals. You don't have to drop region lock alltogether between the Circuit and GSL, when you can organize common tournaments from which the points are counted for the players regardless of the region. More these kind tournaments would make good for both regions and the game as a whole. Add. Further bondering... Allocation of points available from top spots of some moderately rewarded (by money) tournaments could actually make scene as a whole much more competitive than few top-heavy rewarded elite tournaments. In adjuntion of more widely spread prize money this could make miracles for the competitive scene. In other words: Much more relatively low reward tournaments by monetary rewards, but awarded top-heavy by points and eligibilities to the top tournaments. In case of ties of achieved eligibilities between players their overall points would be the tie breaker. That could function even under region lock conditions as long as there are enough tournaments where points are awarded. Its easier to find small sponsors than big ones. Its easier to organize several small-priced local small tournaments than few high-prized top tournaments in which large part of best players cannot participate anyway. Player vs player mix of competition would be much more diverse, and international top players would've to take part to many low-priced tournaments for gathering enough points to make it the top tournaments (or their qualifiers). My perspective is more sustainable and audience friendly global competitive environment by means of giving the Circuit/GSL (or some combined form) points more higher role than sheer amount of winning money of a tournament. Region lock could be simply upheld only by scheduling tournaments in way that its practically impossible to take part to them all only because many of them are simultaneous. I perceive whole competitive scene too TOP-heavy in every relevant aspect to it being capable to remain sustainable longer term in current economic frameworks set by the Company. Just thinking... Most self-suffocating traditions of "Korean Elitism" must be obliterated by spreading the best Korean SC2 traditions all across the gaming world of SC2. | ||

How about some community funded prize pool? you can use it either to add some money to lower places or to help fund the flight cost? Edit> Although I'm not sure if there's the time for this. | ||
