What will region qualifiers be based on? Will ForGG qualify for EU, Polt for NA etc?



I like having some seeding for top foreigners (edit: maybe it's not for foreigners, rather to make sure Flash/Jaedong etc gets to play), Stephano/Naniwa playing in GSL was really exciting.



Don't like the top heavy prize structure, 4 times as much for the winner is very harsh imo.



Overall very excited for this! Who will be the english casters, Wolf and Brendan? #1 player in the world atm: J-god | Follow me on twitter! @DJHelium

Top heavy prize structure is how most Koreans want it though. Top heavy prize structure is how most Koreans want it though. Lies, damned lies and statistics: http://aligulac.com

EthanKairos Profile Joined June 2012 Philippines 63 Posts #15 So hyped. Is the Challenge Round going to be played in the Nexon Arena as well? Or is it an online stage? Now, I can change almost anything.

That just means Flash is gonna win it, since he has time to prepare for all of his opponents like in the old OGN Starleagues. That just means Flash is gonna win it, since he has time to prepare for all of his opponents like in the old OGN Starleagues. KT FlaSh FOREVER

Also with the challenge phase taking place that soon, will it be played on a whole new map pool or on the old one?

You just show up at Nexon Arena. Was there for Kespa Cup and it was all free, no tickets needed. You just show up at Nexon Arena. Was there for Kespa Cup and it was all free, no tickets needed.

Other than that pretty excited for it. Interesting to see how the concept "Global Seed" will turn out.
