But overall happy to see them noticing how successful the weekly cups have been. The best matches and games in sc2 are all coming from there it seems. Best thing to happen to the game in awhile. I would like to see them give more points for esl cups too but I get they probably dont want to do that during the middle of the year | ||

I think the simple solution that is if there is another tournament giving esl points that day, then for that week only move it back to monday.

I think 4-person GSL-style groups would be better because it can help the players to focus on studying their opponents better. Also the presentation is less confusing. 8 player round robin group where you play one or two matches a day is in theory better than a gsl group though? Because you can focus on one opponent at a time. Depends how spread out the games are.

But atm it seems unclear if they really moved them to Monday or even Tuesday (the official brackets for the Open Cups say Tuesday) Also the official EPT page, the official announcement, the rule book and the announcement here on tl.net contradict each other in several things. We have a contact to ESL on the Liquipedia discord, who now helps us with figuring this all out in the next days, so we can properly display everything on liquipedia.^^ | ||

percentages of EU players in the last Blizzcon/IEM Katowice (and the upcoming IEM Katowice 2021) Blizzcon: 5/16 = ~31.3% IEM Katowice 2020 (Top 36): 10/36 = ~27.8% IEM Katowice 2021 (Top 36): 7/36 = ~19.4% (in best case it would be 8/36 = ~22.2%, if an european wins the global DH Masters in January 2021) Rest looks very good to me (except for missing and contradictory information) | ||

Maybe we are also getting some idea of how the 2021-22 EPT could look like without region lock. I think it's great that Koreans will participate in the Season Finals. | ||

They have my view in other regions if they have a good casting crew available for them. If it turns in to Native Language casting as the primary stream, then it becomes less interesting to me. In the areas where players are lesser known, it's hard to get invested in them unless a caster is there to give insight as to who they are. | ||

Anybody understood this and care to explain in lamen terms? Points decide qualification for Katowice in every division. There are 5 spots available for the European division and the top 5 in the European ranking get seeded into the Ro24 at Katowice. Other divisions have their own point systems and different amounts of seeds to play for. Obviously with 7 different leagues they can't reasonably have qualification decided by a global points ranking. Points are harder to earn in Europe than in OCE, for example. | ||
