yeahhh, hope to see a new player be crowned instead.

As far as I remembered well, only SoS and Rogue held the titles winning back to back Blizconn and Katowice. No one had achieved more than they did.
Rogue & Maru fan boy. ^^

Zest never won Blizzcon so it's just sOs and Rogue. I'm curious to see if the war chest will make the prize pool even more substantial.

I don't think soO would be allowed to travel, as it happened to Classic this year.
I would love to see a non korean win Katowice, but they seem to always struggle in the tournament.

The tenth year of Sc2 is too important of an anniversary to shut the support down; we already have WESG and Katowice confirmed, I think we will see announcements WCS in 2020 in the near future.
