Succeeding the GTC of years past, the WTL organized by Chinese org SCBOY will feature twelve teams from all over the world in a single round robin group played out over three months, starting March 26th. The top five teams advance into the playoffs, which are held in the usual gauntlet style (meaning a first place in the group stage comes with a direct seed into grand finals etc.). Three points are awarded for a regular victory, two points for an ace victory, one point for a defeat in an ace match and zero points for a regular defeat (the usual GTC format).
Schedule
Matches are held every Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 19:00 (GMT+8).
Regular Season: March 26th to June 13th
Playoffs: June 26th to June 27th
Prize Pool for the Summer Season
- First place: 80,000 CNY (around 12,250 USD)
- Second place: 60,000 CNY
- Third place: 40,000 CNY
- Fourth place: 30,000 CNY
- Fifth place: 20,000 CNY
- Sixth place：16,000 CNY
- Seventh place：14,000 CNY
- Eighth place：12,000 CNY
- Ninth place: 10,000 CNY
- Tenth place: 7,000 CNY

I like the GGG logo more 
HYPE! SCBoy saving Starcraft (again!)

Afreeca Freecs and Team NV should bring some competition for the first place.

Very nice. Competition for the playoff spots will be fierce. I do like that it's called summer season despite only the playoffs being in summer.

Hype!
My prediction for Top 5 (in no particular order) : Kaizi, DPG, NV, Afreeca Freecs and... one team between Alpha X, GGG, TL and Shopify ^^. It's hard to predict which one in my opinion, but the race of the middle pack is probably going to be exciting .
Also, Team LP looks very weak. Are they going to sign a freelance player?

Interesting format, giving a team less points if they win in the ace match andsome points if they lose in the ace match.
I like it.

I think it's pretty dumb that an ace match win is worth less than a normal win. The fact that a team with more wins can finish behind a team with less wins because of this point system grinds my gears.

I like the system. The fact that you had to play an ace match means that your team didn't do as well as a team that didn't need to play the ace match. And it keeps things zero sum (every match gives exactly three points).

We'll talk about this again once the mother of freak accidents happens and a team goes 11-0 with only ace match wins but doesn't get into the playoffs because of the point system
