Best of 3 in all rounds.

In a Best of 3 map veto (removal and pick) system is used. The high seeded player(seeds can be found at round 1 on the grid page) decides who starts. Players take it in turn removing maps until only 3 maps remain in a best of 3. Then each player picks a map. Maps are played in order they are picked. The remaining map is played last.

The Korea version of these qualifier tournaments are always so ridiculously stacked.

Look at some of the confirmed participants: Dear, Life, Parting, Maru, Rain, Effort, Soo, Soulkey...

I hope that most of these games will be broadcasted.

I guess Sen might, he has a tiiiiny chance of making it through. Then again, Korea gets lumped in with China and SEA for the Asian qualifiers any ways, so grouping Korea with Taiwan/Japan isn't too silly, as they wouldn't get in even with their own qualifier.

I doubt Sen is even participating. It feels like he's on his way out of SC2.
