If you assume this means there still IS conversation about if its included. Since its so little time to run a proper circuit I would also hope that whoever talks comes to the conclusion that they should commit to at least 2 years IF they decide to commit.
Having such a long delay again 2026 - no one needs that.
The 3 year WCS confirmation we got before blizzard left SC2 alone was amazing.

He isn’t 100% confirming, but he thinks it likely, he responded to someone mentioning this on Reddit the other day which I saw.
IIRC the year of the snake was a legit fuckup on his part and not some cryptic bluff or anything.
There was something about him being born in the year of the snake, SC2 will survive in the year of the snake and that’s a cool bit of synergy (or something).
You’ve people going around saying he 100% confirmed it, and others going ‘actually he was playing mind games, notice it’s not actually the year of the snake!’, only Rotti just legitimately fucked up the Chinese year haha.
One wonders what coulda been done if people had put half the energy of ‘EWC watch’ into thinking of ways to transition the scene years ago…

No one has definitively put their foot down on happening/not happening; people being very careful not to be declarative.
This shit is like watching a transfer saga with a top athlete where it's all guarded speculation from a bunch of talking heads. SC2 to Real Madrid, IMHO

Edit: Not that the timer is to be trusted
We need an EWC Timer for the EWC Timer changes....
Also, in unrelated news: Team Liquid just signed Fabiano Caruana because of EWC...I'm so curious who will pay enough for Magnus Carlsen. Which is especially funny considering that Chess Players usually play for multiple teams (because Chess Team Play is so unimportant), Carlsen for examples plays for the german club St. Pauli
As for EWC, people who know already knows but internally, the SC2 teams and players are as of now planning under assumption as if SC2 at EWC will be happening.
Solar left Team Onsyde, so it will be running as a trio, and the will last until this summer. We don't know what will happen after summer. Team Onsyde will be recruiting another player
But the head of Team Onsyde is supporting the team well and will have contract until year's end. This does mean if there is no tournament, it will be 6 months of nothing, which makes it a shame about current state of things.

Heres to hopium we'll actually get our announcement of announcements
I doubt that would happen. End of March is crazy. Don't forget players/teams still have to acquire visas for the tournament and that takes time. They need to know soon.
