As with last year February and March have little in the way of direct WCS preliminaries to report on however things will be picking up as we head into May. Right now Brazil is beginning its regional rounds for WCS 2010 and Australia has already started making moves in its selections for 2011 as their national preliminaries are held soon after the WCS championship is held in August here in Japan. In the upcoming days I will have reports on those events for you.

On May 23rd the Korean preliminaries for the WCS will be held in Seoul with an interesting twist this year. Singapore will be sending a number of cosplayers to hold their own regional round at the Wonder Cosplay Festival.

I am also pleased to announce that Igor Inocima will be back again this year as organizer for Brazil! Igor began as organizer for Brazil with the countries entry into the WCS in 2006, he is active in the Brazilian Nikkei community and you can follow him on his Twitter feed here!
