According to some competitors, the current season of WCS EU Challenger League will not give direct seeds into Premier. On October 02 2013 20:57 Starbuck- wrote:

This season you can't qualify from Season 3 challenger to Premier league season 1 - 2014.

If you finish top at challenger, you get better seed for the qualifiers for Premier, so it's like that

Qualify for challenger (or drop from premier ) --- > Play and try to finish first (top 8) --------> another qualifiers only for top players from challenger.

So it's gonna be really hard to come back in Premier once your out...

I hate Blizzard, this makes rly no sense to do something like that ...

Can someone actually provide a source to 2014 WCS having new qualifiers and that you won't go up to PL through this seasons' CL?



they sent an email to every player in which they explain it and also said that they will announce more changes for wcs 2014 in the near future. they sent an email to every player in which they explain it and also said that they will announce more changes for wcs 2014 in the near future.



@SaintSnorlax Just that season 3 challenger league won't feed directly into premier league 2014. Everything else seems uncertain — Patrick Brix Bjerg (@WolvesBunny) October 2, 2013

"For those who wonder why I played Random, don't panic



First of all you know that at the moment I can barely play StarCraft between 18:00 and 23:00 because of Free (french ISP) / Battle.net



Then the last Challenger League doesn't offer a direct spot in Premier League Season 4 (very few people know that, alas)



So don't worry, I'm still Terran :D" "For those who wonder why I played Random, don't panicFirst of all you know that at the moment I can barely play StarCraft between 18:00 and 23:00 because of Free (french ISP) / Battle.netThen the last Challenger League doesn't offer a direct spot in Premier League Season 4 (very few people know that, alas)So don't worry, I'm still Terran :D"

They are removing challenger league and only making a premier league, the results in challenger league this season will only provide seeds for the premier league qualifier.

Adebisi Profile Blog Joined June 2010 Canada 1621 Posts #8 Well, if they were to do something like say all the players competing in regions they don't have residency/citizenship are no longer eligible, this type of warning seems appropriate. The question is, will they pull the trigger?

purakushi Profile Joined August 2012 United States 3259 Posts Last Edited: 2013-10-02 20:08:40 #9 Honestly, while I agree that the WCS system is meh, I would rather Blizzard focus on improving the game itself than not focus on the biggest thing hurting the scene's -- effectively the game's -- longevity.

JustPassingBy Profile Blog Joined January 2011 10617 Posts #10 It's not just this Challenger Season that is not feeding into next season's Premier, even this Premier Season will not feed into next season's Premier. I think they will restart everything due to some huge upcoming changes. Possiblities would be a region lock of some sort, which will make it impossible for lots of players currently in Premier to attend next season.

They could also move to EU or NA.



edit: In the original announcement of the WCS, it was explicitely written that blizzard aims to make everything offline next year. So something like a soft region lock shouldn't come with a surprise.

Source? If that's true, then there's no point of Challenger league or anything to begin with, aside from getting WCS points for this year's Blizzcon and a couple hundred bucks. Source?
