well for me this is just too long time to know what will happen in next 5,6 months!we dont know what will happen with this whole situation till summer and will they allow people to travel and would be people still sick and now they talk about new wsop and especially because its in america! even if this will be good situation in usa,who know who will come there from europe and other countries and I think that they will have small number of players! last year in thread about wsop 2020 we had member who was sure that we will have live wsop,but ofcourse they couldnt make it,so also for this year,wait,its still long time to pass!

On the one hand, it is great that the WSOP returns, the largest series of poker tournaments in the gaming industry, it would be enjoyed in the best way, but on the other hand, we do not know if the pandemic will continue to cause serious damage or stop, it is difficult to forecast that, we'll see ..

It's great for American players as WSOP return with live tournaments, but disappointing for many online gamblers who would have preferred to be online this year. I didn't see the winners of the last edition because i was lazy, but i heard it was good. This year i hope it will be the same.

The plans are valid, but we do not know, nor can we assure that it will be carried out, we know that we are not in a good situation to be able to do the tournament, but hopefully until that date the situation of the pandemic has improved, but in general we all want bring back the world series of poker.

it's very hard to qualify for WSOP tournaments, but at least once in our lifes, i think it's worth a try. Even if you get there and don't win something good, will realize that in the end you learned a little more strategy. Some experience that will help in the future.

I am sure that this such a long time to think about wsop this year,because people dont know what they will do on summer and not to think about poker tournament in america on autumn,because nobody know what situation we will have in world and will people have chance to fly or not,will you need vaccine that you can enter in usa and other things!even players who can pay direct buy in,will think few times about it and not to talk about satellites!

This situation that we are going through in the whole world is difficult, we all would like this to end to enjoy high-level poker again, the plans that have been made are correct, we only have to wait how this global pandemic is going.

I think vaccines in these times are calming and nothing else, it does not assure you that you will not go back to infect, what we must be careful not to be in contact with other people, now this tournament I want you to meet the correct sanitary measures, poker should not stop, these world series have to give.

I try to stay positive and think that things wil slowply go to normal old way. That they are thinking about making live poker events again is just one of those thing. It would be fun watch live poker tourney again with good comentators and all that, so i hope that it will happen after all.

WSOP is the hottest annual series from the world if i'm not mistaken ( because i don't know what happens in Asia), but that competition from United States of America is prestigious, because most professional players come here to play for bracelets and big money. That thing makes a lot of good players try to get here and is very good.

In Europe I think that things are not going the best way, but even so we must always be prepared not to get infected, the important thing is to try to take care of ourselves in detail, but now the world poker tournament will be great if they do it with strict measures of health security.

if I were a European player who trying in every year online satellites qualifiers for WSOP, i would seriously think about what to do. I mean vaccination, because it's not normal for a law to ban you from traveling without that vaccine or Covid test. I don't know how they do it in other countries, but i don't want to get vaccinated for travel, even to a neighboring country. Many gamblers will leave, but it is their decision what to do with their own bodies. However, for some gamblers poker is their job and they want to get there.

I think vaccination is essential friend, the agencies will not allow you to travel without taking the covid test, that is mandatory, with respect to the vaccine, if your country has enough doses they will make you put it on, but if not It is not possible, now the players will have a difficult situation regarding their country and the destination country.

Vaccination will depend on each person and I do not want to try WSOP satellites if i am conditioned to be vaccinated to travel. Americans will play and many of them will not have anti covid 19 in them, so why do other gamblers need to do it? They said it would not be mandatory. Anyway, it's good that the WSOP is live again.

you can see on news in last days about euro 2020 in football at this summer,how some cities cant allow fans on stadiums,even uefa want that from them,so now they will lose euro and they will remove it in other countries!so this is on summer,you can imagine how they dont know what will be in six months and that we dont know what will happen in USA and who will allow to travel there or how players will back in their countries!

This situation is complicated, and not only in poker do these things happen, all sports in general are going through the same situation, hopefully later things will calm down, but today we are not prepared to eliminate this pandemic, we only have take care of ourselves.
