Life for example dropped out early in GSL in the first season, if he wants to reach the top 16 at the end of the year, he should attend a few international events.

I haven´t seen a caster announcement yet, but I really hope, they bring in a few others; casting the entire tourney will really exhaust those two and tbh. they aren´t exactly the biggest/best names as well. | ||

Another way for players on foreign teams to pad their WCS points with easier competitions, I guess. | ||

I am sure that MLG can get enough good casters from the NA scene to make the event enjoyable. | ||

LGIM sent (correct past?) quite a few players to IEM´s last year, FXO had players at the last DH and AFAIK kespa teams should be richer than ESF ones. Also a player like Innovation or Life will most likely make more prize than his flight costs. | ||

How would you give out WCS points to a team tournament? If you base it on teams winning, random B-teamers will get underserved points, if you give it out on performance, players have to rely on good draws/coach desicions. Also Proleague is invite-only, that alone make it impossible to give WCS points out on that. | ||
