Not sure what all the hype is about I, Super and reality are both decent players but sOs and herO will own that group. If Flash can't get out of the group he's in now.... not sure what to tell you, fanboys. | ||

He got sent out last year and did pretty well. He even beat Rain once! But yea, you can take any Code A group and they'll br stronger than the RO4 of WCS AM/EU. | ||

Group K: SuperNova, Leenock Group L: Stork, FanTasY New map pool, so I think its really hard to make predictions for Terrans based on recent results. By the way, It's kind of absurd that Blizzard doesn't award more WCS points for players in the GSL Code A/S. I get that they want to region balance BlizzCon, but at the same time these GSL players just don't get the same opportunities to rack up easy(relative to the GSL that is) points at MLGs and Dreamhacks and the such so it really isn't region balanced at all. Edit: So here's my thoery. Blizzard is still punishing KeSPA for holding up SC2 in Korea, thus the absurd WCS point system. Unfortunately this only punishes the players, and not really KeSPA at all. | ||

Points available to GSL only players: 10,500/Season + 7,000 from KeSPA cup + 1,800 from GSL Global Championship Points available to WCS AM/EU players: 10,5000/Season + twelve 4,000 point tourneys + six 1,800 pointers + a 7,000 pointer + a 3,375 pointer and another one TBD. Now to be fair, some GSL players like SoS do travel to some foreign tourneys, but those opportunities to earn points just aren't as available to players with Proleague obligations. Blizzard could have easily corrected this imbalance by awarding, let's say, 30% more points to the GSL region. A boost of that magnitude wouldn't even change the overall region balance in the top 16 as it currently stands so it's not like Blizzard's goal of region balance would be severely damaged. Maru, Korea's consensus best Terran would STILL be on the outside looking in. | ||

I doubt Blizzard was trying to punish KeSPA, but maybe they were trying to encourage them to go to more international tournaments. | ||

Blizzard is helping out organizers to attract players with WCS points, which supports regions that are interested in having sc2. If you could make it by only getting 1 good run in GSL, then the whole system wouldn't work that way. Kespa is a fairly closed of organization and because they don't let their players farm tournaments those players are actually that good (or not as figured out). Just enjoy the difference. And wait for the Global Finals where you can say ha Kespa players are the best. Not oh we have a 4th GSL yay . | ||
