Over the past week we have received numerous questions about the announcements
made concerning WCS 2013. Though we will not be able to get to them all in this
one short post, we did want to at least bring some attention to the ones we
have been hearing the most, especially as it relates to Season 1 of this year.
在過去的幾周中我們一直收到大量關於WCS2013的問題，雖然我們無法在一個帖子裡回答
完所有的問題，但是我們樂於回答其中被問得最多的那部分，特別是那些與今年WCS第一賽
季有關的問題。

Please do continue to ask your questions in whatever method you feel most
convenient (Reddit, Twitter, the StarCraft forums, etc.), we are following WCS
conversations very closely and will continue to do our best to answer concerns
as they arise. Thank you for your patience as we all work through these
changes. We are excited about where they are taking us and look forward to an
amazing conclusion to WCS 2013 at BlizzCon this November!
請繼續向我們提問，無論以何種方式（Reddit/Twitter/官網論壇等），只要你們覺得方
便就行，我們會持續關注關於WCS的問題和討論，並儘我們所能去回答那些最讓人關注的問
題。無論如何，多謝你們的耐心與支持，看到大家都在展望並討論最終會在11月的BlizzCon
舉行的WCS2013，我們就感到非常興奮！

Is it possible to see a calendar for the entire year? When do Seasons 1, 2, 3
start in every region?
現在是否有全年完整的賽程計劃？在各個賽區，第一、第二、第三賽季分別將於什麼時候舉
行？

We are working hard on compiling a complete calendar for the entire year, in
the meantime we plan to announce the start dates for Season 1 of the NA and EU
leagues tomorrow night. We understand that players and teams need to schedule
their time for the rest of the year, and we will do our best to post the dates
for Seasons 2 and 3 shortly after.
我們正在努力完成整年整個比賽的計劃，實際上我們正打算明天晚上公佈美洲和歐洲區的
第一賽季的開始日期。我們非常理解選手和戰隊需要很好的安排他們的賽程，因此在近期
我們會全力以赴，公佈第二賽季以及第三賽季的開始時間。

What are the key differences between the KR, EU, and NA leagues?
韓國賽、歐洲賽以及美洲賽的區別是什麼？

Our goal has been to make the leagues as identical as possible in terms of
structure, based on the GSL model. As a result of working with different league
partners, there will be minor format differences that arise based on the legacy
of a particular league.
我們的目標是讓幾個賽區的賽制結構盡可能的相同，基於GSL的運作模式。為此我們與不
同的賽事承辦方通力合作，他們會減少不同賽區之間的區別。

How does a brand new player who wants to compete in WCS get involved?
一個新選手要如何入圍WCS？

In general, we are working to adopt a similar process in each region based off
of GSL's three-division "Code" structure. Each regional league will have three
divisions (Qualifier, Challenger, and Premier) that will feed into each other.
In regards to Season 1 of this year, GSL is operating per usual and will
continue moving into future seasons. For North America and EU, we will be
announcing the plans surrounding Season 1 this week but it will likely include
some invitations as well as an open qualification.
總的來說，像GSL擁有三個區別的分組一樣，每個賽區我們都把選手分為Qualifier、
Challenger、Premier三個組。考慮到在第一賽季期間，GSL已經開始他們的比賽，在歐洲
賽和美洲賽，我們稍後會公佈不太一樣的第一賽季計劃，可能會採用公開賽的形式，並且
有一些邀請名額。

Thanks for your patience. We know everyone is anxious to get this information,
and we're working hard to get it to you as quickly as we can.


Are the prize pools the same between the leagues?
不同賽區的比賽獎金是一樣的嗎？

Yes. All of the regional leagues will have identical prize pools and point
distribution.
是的，所有賽區的比賽獎金及分配形式都是一致的。

The prize pool breakdown for the remaining part of 2013 is as follows:
Each Regional WCS League Season - $100,000
Each Global Season Finals - $150,000
WCS Global Finals at BlizzCon - $250,000
具體如下：
單賽季的分區賽總獎金：$100,000

單賽季的全球賽總獎金：$150,000

WCS最終全球總決賽總獎金：$250,000

In regards to NA and EU, how does a player qualify for Season 1 "Premier
League"?
對於歐洲賽區和美洲賽區，由於之前沒有像GSL那樣的分組比賽，選手們怎麼晉級到Premier
組？

As we mentioned in the question above, we are working hard to get the exact
details out to you as soon as we can. In short, Season 1 will be an exception
and will likely include some invitations that we will send to top players in
each region as well as open qualifiers, but all future seasons will adopt a
three-division system (Qualifier, Challenger, and Premiere) that will
appropriately qualify players into the top division for future seasons.
就像我們上面提到的那樣，我們正在努力尋求一個完整的方案並儘快公佈，在第一賽季可能
會邀請一些頂級的選手加入其中，未來則會採用GSL那樣的升降級賽制。

Have you considered a residency requirement for the Leagues? Wouldn't it make
sense to require players who are playing in your region's tournament to live in
your country?
你們考慮過關於選手國籍的限制麼？難道限制一個參加對應賽區但卻不生活在對應地區的選
手是不合理的嗎？

We have discussed implementing a residency requirement but feel that this would
add additional complexity, especially for players outside of the three main
regions, and particularly for 2013. This is the kind of thing we'd really like
to avoid if at all possible.
對此我們討論過國籍限制的問題，但是我們認為這會讓事情變得更複雜，特別是對於那些
不在這三個主要賽區的選手，我們正在努力解決這一情況。

Many people feel that the abrupt global change, combined with locking players
to the region they play in for the entire year, is remarkably unfair to KR
players, especially those currently competing in GSL?
很多人認為這是一個很突然的變化，把選手限定在一個固定的地區裡整整一年，這對韓國
選手很不公平，特別是他們正在參加GSL的角逐。

We too agree that Korean players currently playing in GSL were put in a
difficult situation regarding making a year-long commitment to a WCS league as
GSL started right on the heels of our announcement. With this being the case,
we will be making a one-time exception at the end of Season 1 to allow players
to make a change in their regional commitments for the rest of 2013. If a
player currently playing in GSL would like to make a change at that time then
they will be able to do so. We will have more information on exactly how this
process will work well in advance of the conclusion of Season 1.
我們承認，對於正在打GSL的韓國選手來說，他們陷入了一個比較艱難的境地。因此，我
們決定在第一賽季結束的時候，允許選手再次選擇賽區，然後完成全年剩下的比賽。

What is the point system?
積分系統是怎樣的？

We are working hard to finalize all the details surrounding the WCS points
system. At the moment, we are mostly ironing out exactly how points earned
outside the WCS leagues will integrate into the system. We should be able to
announce the initial system next week, although some some adjustments will
probably need to happen as we move forward.
我們正在努力確定和完善WCS的積分系統，此時我們研究怎樣把非WCS賽事的積分整合到整
個賽制中。下週我們應該能公佈一個初始的方案，隨後應該會做進一步的調整。

How lucrative (in terms of points) is it to compete in a tournament like NASL,
DreamHack, or Iron Squid?
考慮積分問題的話，像NASL、DreamHack或者Iron Squid這樣的比賽具有多少價值？

Players who qualify for the World Championship at BlizzCon will have to compete
in the WCS. That said, points earned from outside the WCS Leagues should be
meaningful in terms of qualification and seeding at that tournament, especially
for those who might be on the edge of qualifying.
通過非WCS賽事獲得的積分對於那些要獲得WCS參賽資格的選手來說非常有用，特別是那些
處在晉級邊緣的選手們來說。

How much of the tournaments for each season will be played online?
每個賽季有多少賽事是線上賽？

The intention is that most of the Premiere league (all in the case of WCS KR)
for each region will be played offline in a studio, but we are working with MLG
and ESL on the details. We might need to have additional online matches in 2013
based on logistical challenges that may arise.
Premiere級別的比賽必然是線下比賽，然後關於MLG和ESL我們還在就細節問題進行工作，
另外我們可能會有額外的線上賽事。

What steps is Blizzard taking to ensure that cheating/hacking is not going to
take place for matches played online?
暴雪娛樂將如何保證在線上比賽中不出現作弊行為？

Our goal is to minimize the number of online matches and eventually to
eliminate the need for them, for as long as online matches will take place we
will be taking great precaution to monitor and ensure fair play. We will be
working with our tournament partners to ensure best practices and the integrity
of each league.
我們的目標是減少線上比賽並最終將其完全捨棄掉，但只要有線上比賽舉行，我們就會加
以特別的監督以保證公平的比賽。我們會與賽事合作方一起保證比賽的質量。

We are aware that there are certainly questions that remain. As another step in
process, Blizzard is intending to host a Reddit AMA regarding WCS, so please
stay tuned for the exact details in the coming days!
我們都知道，仍然會有存在的問題。緊接下一步驟，暴雪打算在Reddit社群網站說明關於
WCS的賽事詳程，請在未來幾天的具體細節敬請關注！
