    Link is up for KWC 2018 entry.
    https://www.gloken.net/en/kwc2018-entry/
    For those that have been there I have a couple questions.
    1) I get in Thursday evening and plan on staying near Narita Airport (Chiba) for the night and then go to Hatsukaichi on Friday morning. I don’t see any of these plans worth it for me as I plan on staying in Hatsukaichi from Friday-Monday but really want to go to Miyajima Island (Friday event). Does anyone know if Miyajima Island is accessible through public transportation? If not, does anyone know if I can just tag along with the Gloken bus and just pay a fee?
    2) does anyone know why global version is $89 USD but Japan’s is 7,000 yen ($64 USD)? I can read Japanese so should I just enter in the form in Japanese and save the $25? Or do I need a Japanese credit card?

    Thanks to anyone that can answer my slightly weird/dumb questions!

    You know, it's kinda intriguing that they reduced the wildcard by 4. Or that's how i understand it. Anyways this also compensate for the International seed of player who won each respective qualifiers.

    •So far there is Joris for EU
    •So Kanada already seeded both for winning last year's KWC & MKO but i guess the Nick is gonna take that seed spot.
    •I guess tamotsu is might sponsor the guy in africa(forgot his name) during their tour;
    •As well as anyone from brazil cause so far brazil has some established scene in SA
    •Asia is a bit split i guess cause singapore may have another qualifier for SEA region or in Taiwan which is pretty much in East region. Japan has it's own seed
    •Well as for AUS & Oceania, im not sure if they'll have any participant/s.

    i've read that the wildcard spot is qualified for anyone pass the score of 40, represent a country/region & if a certain country failed to produce a player with the said point then they'll pick one on the same region/country.

    Yes it is.
    It’s only accessible by ferry, in which you can purchase a pass for a certain amount of time, and a certain amount of yens.
    The said pass was purchased by GLOKEN under my tour package (we only had “Standard”/Hostel in 2016)

    Second option is to swim; no sharks in there so far.

    Kinda willing to wager that there’s a slight discount for locals.

    Sounds good dude I appreciate it! I think for now I might look into the dama village or just buy the competition pass. Whichever one is more convenient and more cost saving

    gloken or sweets will probably stream it this year. in the past, it's been streamed on youtube but this year could possible include twitch.

    someone will post the link in this thread when it is available
