And still it is nowhere as hard as winning any korean league. Yet, winning WCG gives mountains more points than winning any Korean league does. Where is the fairness?
Winning WCG does NOT mean you're among the bests. Winning any korean starleague does.
Name me ONE korean starleague winner in the past that wasn't an outstanding, dominant player.
Now look at WCG's winner last year and you'll understand why winning WCG doesn't mean much. If you think that ogogo deserve the points that he got from winning WCG, then there's seriously something wrong with your logic.
Should winning WCG give points? Yes, of course, but nowhere even near the amount of points that kespa gives. Winning WCG is not an indication of extremely high skills or talents, just like ogogo proved last year.
Xellos's 300+ point boost in rankings is just downright extremely unfair. But what's even more sad is seeing Midas moving up 11 spots in rankings, all the way into the top 10, when there are so many other people who deserve to be top 10 more than he does.
And that's not even mentioning that wcg's maps this year were heavily biased for terran. I would probably accept it if some korean zerg went to wcg and dominated the terrans and then got the major point boost for winning. But a couple korean terrans going to wcg beating a bunch of foreigners on maps that heavily favored their race and then go home with the biggest sum of money ever offered from winning a starcraft tournament, in addition to a huge unfair boost in rankings is just not right.

Not the most money...
KT-KTF is WAY, WAY, WAY more lucrative ;O
Btw, Sync won an OGN Starleague and he wasn't really outstanding (well he sure as hell was on a roll that league but like he wasn't as dominating as boxer etc, and garimto, yellow AND boxer were actually slumping in that league iirc so yeah).
