Dead Pixels Jung ‘ FanTaSy’ Myung Hoonġ6th place was decided by a tiebreaker between FanTaSy and HyuN, since both players finished tied for the last spot in the WCS finals with 3025 points. WCS Points were accumulated from these finishes, and used to determine which players had the best records in the world over the course of the year. Competitors in all four of Blizzard’s eSports global finals will play the initial seeding matches in the week leading up to the main event.Įach of the 16 players appearing in the global finals this year earned their place in this tournament through a combination of their performances in a) one or more of three seasons of the three premier leagues and b) top placements in third party tournaments. With less emphasis on the Western WCS split between NA and EU, but a new set of regional restrictions requiring players to have citizenship or residency (including an athletic or other visa) to enter the WCS league specifically, the caliber of play required to reach the WCS Global Finals at BlizzCon this year is higher than ever before – and that’s reflected in the lineup of players that are arriving in California beginning in late October for BlizzCon Opening Week. Whereas in 20, there were three competitive leagues run in parallel in North America (NA), Europe (EU), and South Korea (KR), this year’s points were distributed between the joint NA-EU WCS league and two Korean leagues – the Global StarCraft League (GSL) and the StarCraft StarLeague (SSL).
This year’s WCS looks very different from the previous two, in large part because WCS no longer distinguishes regions in quite the same way. On the eve of the transition to StarCraft II’s second expansion – Legacy of the Void (LotV), which releases Novem– this will also be the third and final WCS played within the Heart of the Swarm (HotS) ruleset.

Since the inception of its current iteration in 2013, the World Championship Series (WCS) has been run with a single purpose – to identify the absolute best StarCraft II player in the world.
