The preliminaries ( = offline qualifiers) are the first step for qualifying for the OSL/MSL. Those who get through prelims will qualify for the minor individual leauges (Dual/Survivor). The Dual league is the qualifying tournament for OSL, and the Survivor league is the qualifying tournament for MSL.

All players are divided into groups. Almost all registered progamers come to the offline qualifiers, including some team-less pros. There are more than 150 pros who show up for these things.

Each group is a single-elimination tournament, best of 3 each round. One or two players per group are seeded based on past results and Kespa rankings. Seeded players usually get a bye in the first stage of their group. So for example, in the MSL prelims Stork only needs 3 wins to advance, while other players in his group would need 4. Also, groups are arranged so that there are no teammates in the same group (no two KTF members in the same group), and that race numbers are evenly balanced (not all Ts in group)

MSL prelims are straightforward : 24 players from 24 groups. The group winners will qualify for the Survivor League.

OSL prelims have a twist: 18 players from 12 groups. Each group winner will advance. Then each group runner-up will face each other, and the 6 winners will also qualify for the Dual Tournament.

So in theory, all the seeded players should make it. Of course, that never happens.

I hope Draco does well, but I don't think he has much of a chance. L.x and PJ have a shot of qualifying for the MSL though...

1. It's in Korean.
2. It is progamizer-proof (the brackets are not text but image files)

Having said that, here are the links.

Thank you very much, HonestTea. Finally got a full picture. Much appreciated!
Perfect. Plays low-econ, high-econ, plays orthodox, plays funky, plays Mozart, plays Run-DMC. Micro, macro, strategy, management, fundamentals, and balls the size of Brazil. He plays Zerg the way the Xel Naga intended - like a ball of mercury. -HonestTea

Our Protoss, Who art in Aiur HongUn be Thy name; Thy stalker come, Thy will be blunk, on ladder as it is in Micro Tourny. Give us this win in our daily ladder, and forgive us our cheeses, As we forgive those who play zerg against us.
