StarCraft ll: WCS Explained
536Here is the run-down of how the StarCraft ll World Championship Series works! WCS is a year-long event in which the best players around the world compete and show off their skills in StarCraft ll.
During the year, players collect WCS points which represent their regional standings. 16 of the highest ranked players will compete at the WCS Global Playoffs towards the end of the year. This leads to the WCS Global Finals held at BlizzCon where a player will be crowned the world champion!
There are 2 regions in which players compete and accumulate their WCS points: WCS Korea and WCS Circuit.
WCS Korea features the world's finest StarCraft players and represents the highest level of competition. Players compete in 2 renowned leagues: The Global StarCraft ll League (GSL) and the StarCraft ll StarLeague (SSL).
Season 1 and Season 2 champions of GSL and StarLeague and the additional 4 players from the WCS Korea standings, will represent Korea at the WCS Global Playoffs.
WCS Circuit differs from its Korean counterpart as players travel to compete in a variety of weekend tournaments hosted across the globe. Similar to Korea, 2 champions of the year with an additional 6 players from the WCS Circuit standings are chosen to compete against WCS Korea.
Together, both regions combine to form the largest StarCraft tournament of the year held at BlizzCon in Anaheim, Ca. This is where players look to claim the title of the 2016 World Champion.
