Nada, GoRush and JulyZerg were qualified for being TOP3 at IOPS Starleague. Stork[GM] qualified as Challenge League champion The rest qualified through the Dual League.
Hmmm the last group must suck to be in, not only do they not know who their last opponent is (so can't practice properly they only get a few days warning) then on top of that its the (supposedly) toughest player possible!

Am I blind or why don't I see Stork's name anywhere? Instead I see Kingdom?
stork qualified winning the Challenge League, so he didnt need to participate on Dual League =p also.. I think the decision of 3rd/4th place of IOPS is going to happen on same day of Dual League group F, how can that be?
[edit] well, Kingdom is the 2nd player qualified in the group E

I'm surprised that Boxer hasn't gotten in. SKT-T1 still has some strong representatives though, who are Kingdom and Iloveoov. I think Reach definitely has a good shot of getting to the finals in this league, maybe against Oov. Hopefully he'll win ^ ^v
we have at least 4 toss players next osl! WOW well, either gorush or gf is tough, and considering chojja's zvp, it seems like no more toss. Pusan is unfortunate again ;o
will boxer ever win another major? t.t i wont say that he's slumpin tho, because he got into the finals v. iloveoov and before that v nada in past year.

He will.I am sure of that .And btw for me Boxer is the winner (I mean the OSL vs oov).cauze he dominated all his opponents.3-0 2-0 3-0 all games without lose and then he loses to oov 3-2 BUT oov won 2 games on Bilfrost (on that stupid cheesy map :p) ,before the games oov said that he found a strat that he was sure he wont lose the games on Bilfrost.I think Boxer's 1st game and 4th are two of the best TvT played this Year.Boxer <3
I think by the end of this Starleague we will see that Alchemist and Guillotine = Easy win for Protoss. Balhae seems pretty good for PvZ too. If Requiem is the map removed this time... TT Zerg.
sorry to sound a little uninformed, but search is hard to use... did they release the maps for the next one yet? or confirm which ones are being carried over?
one thing that I noticed in this dual league is that all the qualified protoss (not counting Stork, he qualified in the CL) qualified themselves by the loser brackets

Probably not. He simply doesn't have the raw speed necessary to keep up with the top players anymore. He can still put on a good show and win games but the consistancy in which he does it now is bad. BW has evolved from cute tricks and a very micro oriented game to raw power.
after seeing the vods: thank god doggi didn't qualify..
i used to support him since we were in the same clan together about four years ago but !()$=!"(=) he can play so shitty it's not fun to watch
this is also the first time i realized that there is a huge skill gap between players like pusan and kingdom. there is so much more reflection and knowledge of creating/handling a battle situation in some players' game.

Iris played looked very solid. He's another "real" terran, perhaps not as good as cloud perhaps, but the match against chojja he made good decisions and his control was excellent.
Also the match against Pusan, well Pusan didn't stand a chance the poor guy on the dream of a chance in hell to win as protoss map, whatever it's called. Dream of balhae or sumthin'.
I used to support Goodfriend to some extent, but now he's getting annoying. He always does a proxy factory. Sure, it's a good tactic to tear down zerg creeps early, but it's not entertaining to watch a terran grind a zerg to death.

You = Wrong. Too many people are thinking like you though and its pretty sad. First you say Boxer does not have raw speed. Based on what ? Have you ever seen a FPV of Boxer ? He does not have raw speed ? And since when did ONLY speed matter ? Boxer held the probably best tvt player in the world to a veery close 2-3 final around 3 months ago. As for slumping this happens to anyone. It does NOT mean they are washed up as players. People were saying this a year ago when Boxer was not in Starleague(Hangame or gillette cant remember). Please dont make fast conclusions like this, because then you would also have to say the same for people like Nal_ra who won OSL less than a year ago, and he is the fastest player ive seen to this day in his FPV vs July@Raid Assault.
