The April Fool's post was just from a time traveler on an unfortunate day that's all.

I'm torn on how to see this, but heck, I'll watch some of the games for sure!

Looks like there WILL be qualifiers for EWC unless this was a major oversight in phrasing.

Cant wait for the virtue signalers to tell us their nobility in once again boycotting the remaining pro event so that we are left with no more events in the future

My pleasure

I nobly declined to work EWC in the past, and while it was unfortunate that I could not support the pro SC2 scene, it was not a particularly hard decision for me.

Highly unlikely but It would be definetaly nice also if the money was nicely spread out and not just for the finalists.
Why so serious?

Man ... It's going to suck after this tournament is over and we have to wait a year wondering if there will be an EWC in 2026 or if we will have no big tourny at all...

I can’t tell if Wax is trolling us or not, but if this is true it’s the best example of money where mouth is in all of esports! It’s depressing to feel like even a peep about legitimate human rights issues could be so triggering.

You know there's actually nothing wrong with having principles. The world would be a much better place if more people had them, or at the very least didn't pretend and betray theirs.

Oh let me transcribe (hope that word isn't censored by now over there):"I want my life to only be about myself, I don't care about what does not personally inconvenience me and I do not want others to point out my selfishness, because it makes me feel bad and forces me to reflect on myself as a person, which is something I do not wish to do, I would appreciate some acknowledgement for who I am instead."

I hope they change the format this year, having a proper group stage, or even 2 round of group stage, with double elim playoff. Last year format was weird as hell, with some player lost 1 Bo3 and gone. Also, lets start the "will MaxPax play" hype thing now.

I can imagine he is serious and I at least can state for myself that I will not watch. :/

I hope you're all ready for a dearth of previews and a lot of random nostalgia pieces.

Reporting in ^_^

Honestly, even without the whole sportswashing angle, completely separately they’ve dicked around the entire scene for a preposterous length of time at this point. Players and casters worrying about their futures first and foremost, us fans second.

The org is choosing to spend all of its SC2 kitty on one vanity tournament when it’s absolutely not what the scene needs.

I’m not Oliver Bloomin’ Twist with my wee bowl going ‘please sir, can I have some more’ and willing to overlook basically everything associated with this whole Saudi Shebang.

One’s mileage may vary, I’m not about to piss on everyone else’s cornflakes. Just not my cup of tea, at all. GLHF, if folks wanna watch and get enthused, cool.

I think the community has stepped up pretty well thus far, alas it’s not really enough without the skeleton of even a couple of regular circuit events to support much of a full-time pro scene of any depth. But neither is EWC without that skeleton.
