Siguiendo el carrousel de cambios de la WCS Premier League para esta temporada, el acceso a la Challenger League será diferente tambien:
Big changes are coming for the 2016 WCS Challenger! For the first time in StarCraft II history the WCS will utilize the in-game ladder to determine 2016 WCS Challenger qualifier slots for the WCS Circuit Winter Championship. Not only that, but top finishers can also look forward to cash prizes from a US$10,000 prize pool, based on their performances.
The ladder competition will start today, February 1st, and will last until February 12th, 12:00 am PST for America and 12:00 am CET for Europe. Once concluded, the top sixteen EU and NA ladder players will be invited to a regional double elimination tournament run by ESL, where they will compete for the following prizes:
1st place - US$1,400 & direct qualification to the WCS Circuit Winter Championship
