Sonic has just announced a 128 player selection tournament for the SSL.
See the post or the cafe for more information. Step 1) Be in Korea.

The signing up starts tomorrow Monday 8th and will go on until Friday 13th.
128 players will be allowed in on a first come, first served basis.

The competition itself will start with the round of 128 on Saturday 13th, 1PM KST.
The round of 32 and the finals will take place the following day at the same time.

① Format: Tournament group stage (Ro128), BO3 matches
② Maps: Fighting Spirit, Circuit Breaker, New Sniper Ridge

Starting with the round of 32, they players will be required to stream their matches.
The winner will receive some prizes from SBENU and will get to play in the upcoming Starleague.

Euh is this for amateurs only?
I assume so, right?

Everyone can take part it looks like, pros, ex-pros, semi-pros and amateurs. Would be somewhat dumb to not give those ex-pros that weren't invited a shot.

When SBENU parts with IU for modelling they know who to contract.

Apologizes, but isn't

기존의 9차 스타리그때 출전했던 선수들이 불참이 많긴 하지만 선수들도 일부로 출전을 못하는게 아니라...

Many players who participated in 9th SSL will be unable to participate. This is not because the players deliberately chose not to do so, but because they are already had committed themselves to other leagues which schedule conflicted with us, so please refrain from random speculations or blame certain players for their absenses.

instead of

Amateur players were very absent in the 9th Starleague but it was not something we did on purpose. We had decided they would participate in another league first and the coordination proved difficult so we renounced the idea, so I wish you would refrain from making assumptions and firing insults.

That explains some of the weird vibe in some comments, fuck I totally read that as if it's adressing the pre-SSL9 amateur qualifiers.. Even now I can kinda read it that way but you are certainly right. Thanks, I fixed it.

That's a bit sad, though I assume it means LSL3 is still coming?

LSL3 map test/Sponleague is ending soon (or at least season 2 of it is), so perhaps LSL3 is about to start soon thereafter?

I know we're just speculating, but it'd be a shame if LoveTV can't communicate with Sonic, seeing as she used to work with/for him, to avoid such a schedule conflict Why put the players in a position where they're basically forced to choose sides?

I don't blame a few top players, though, if they think they have a shot at the LSL3 prize money...

Looks like Sonic posted something about the amateur prelims?

+ Show Spoiler +
왜 엔트리도 공개 안된 스타리그로 이렇게 말들이 많은지 이해를 못하겠네요.ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
2006년부터 BJ 할때도 그랬고. 초창기 사업한다고 할때도 그랬고
뭐 이렇게 하지도 않은걸 안될것 같다고 생각하는 사람들이 많은건지 이해를 못하겠네요
지금까지 행동으로 많이 보여주고 있다고 생각하고 만족까진 아니더라도 성취감을 느끼면서 살고 있는데 다들 왜 이렇게 하기도 전부터 초를 칩니까?
엔트리 공개하고 나서 그때 망한다 안망한다로 싸우셔도 될 것 같습니다.
다 같이 좋자고 사는건데 헐 뜯고 싸울 필요 있습니까? 그리고 보지도 않은 저를 욕하고 쉽게 판단할 필요 있습니까?
화요일입니다. 엔트리와 일정 공개는 이번주에 할 생각입니다!!
기다려주세요+_+

It's just a reaction to certain afreeca netizens discussing the player entry before it's even released. Sonic addresses similar trollish tendencies on a regular basis and I don't translate them as they don't really have much to do with us or anything.

For example this one just says they should wait for the entry and then discuss it. And that there's no reason to fight over it anyway, let's just enjoy it all together. Schedule should be up during the week.

I suppose most notably netizens have been complaining about (possible) lack of Bisu, Terror, Sea etc.

Thanks for translating and explaining

Did Sonic address which players specifically have scheduling conflicts (LSL3 or otherwise)? Or if he is trying to work with the parties that are conflicting to see if they might work something out to avoid top names not being able to play in both tournaments...?

Hopefully the Facebook/Afreeca posters are asking him questions like these...

There's no new info, he's just addressing the ppl making assumptions as to who will or will not be playing, why and how it would affect the league.. And says they should wait for the announcement.
