Blizzcon is going over the weekend. Its totally possible for them to still play in GSL, if one of them has a game on the friday. They could reschedule like they did with TLO.

I'm pretty sure its just like OSL/MSL. If you pick random. your stuck as random. You could play random in OSL/MSL, but needed to ALWAYS be random, no racepicking/mu picking.
Wow, A2 bottom half is stacked...I don't know who to support.
I was really impressed with HongunPrime in GSL1, but then Remind is the current WC3 world champion (he just won WCG), and then Garimto on top of that...
We're gonna see some big names going home today T_T
Edit: looks like Remind already lost in round 2, I guess playing SC2 part-time doesn't cut it
zergbong through to the ro8, so is 최준환 (playing against GodFather) garimto was most notable for sc, he may have dabbled in wc3 but i have no idea about that.
Sorry if this has been answered before (I'm sure it has) but is Nada even playing in GSL2? I see posts once in a while about him but I don't see him on the list. Is he playing on another alias or is his korean name just not translated? I made a quick search but didn't find much besides the "who will win GSL2" poll.
Thank you below poster. I assumed he would be in the "has yet to qualify list".

I'm sure someone posted in one of the season one threads that he asked the GSL organisers if he was allowed to pick random and they said that was fine.

if nada does not use a korean name, he is not playing today
This statement is false. A1 and A2 are only 2 out of 8 brackets that we will see today. Nada is likely in one of the other 6 brackets we have yet to see.
Lots of notable players left in today's qualifiers. We're due for a lot of upsets/eliminations, similar to yesterday. Best of luck to all the players! I really hope NaDa, Maka, Ensnare, Rainbow, and Genius make it through. Also would love to see GARIMTO make it through as well as any other "surprise" BW guests we may see today.

Aww sadpanda, he is the true great white hope. If anyone can do it it's Giyom. I thought he joined ogs or was that just speculation? Really want TheWind and Zergbong to qualify today, we need some more zerg.

He isn't even good at Broodwar by modern standards, I can't imagine him doing anything big in SC2. I think he had 80 Broodwar APM.

To be honest, it's gonna be really difficult for Garimto. Hongun is ranked in the KR top 10, and he made the top 8 in last GSL, beating Zenio and Clide along the way.
Here's hoping Garimto can get lucky and random Terran two games in a row...

He tried to qualify for GSL1?
He did, but I think he lost pretty early in the qualifiers.
It would be really cool if he practiced a ton, got his APM up, and qualified. Seeing him again would be amazing!

Yeah people don't really know who garimto actually is..
Well 533 people don't know who BOXER is. Although to us BW Toss players Garimto was one of the few successful people who we could look up to. I mean come on, two OSLs! Only a few tosses have ever even made it to two OSL finals (Only Stork has been in three).
He's pretty famous for coming up with creative plays, like the Repairion (timing push with a fast VC, some ground units like hellions or MM, and a wagon of SCV's keeping the BC alive). Hope he makes it this time too.
Little Sidequestion, because I read this on twitter:
TLO has now made his place into Ro64 winning over three protoss in a row. He has become the third foreigner to be in the main tournament. TLO seems to be as sharp as ever.
Third? Idra, TLO, and... ? Or do they count Loner?

Seems a lot of notable people still left for the final 8 spots. NaDa, Maka, Ensnare, Lotze, ITR and quite a few people who made the previous RO32 and 64 to fight for the last 4 sports.
GOMtv.net Nada, HopeTorture and MakaPrime is scheduled to play later today in the Preliminary rounds. Everyone is curious if Nada will follow Boxer to make it to Ro64. Also last season's runner up HopeTorture will give it another shot.

Nah, Iron sucked. B teamer for life. MVP quit for some odd reason (By far the best A teamer to convert), and Sangho quit because of the betting scandal although he was innocent.
YO. PlayXP is reporting that Maka was absent from prelims. They may have made a mistake but I don't know.
At any rate, based on new information about eliminated GSL 1 players, the list of players who have failed to qualify has changed. As always, that list can be found here.
i can tell you for sure that maka's name hasn't been in any brackets today or yesterday. not sure about day 1 but i doubt it would have been already, given that gom themselves said that he's yet to come.

Held a few tournaments a while ago, and was fairly active we could say. At least more than Grrr, and probably more than July, so compared to those other legends, he was supposed to have better odds. But note that he got eliminated by HongUn - Ro8 in GSL1, and one of the main favorites to win the GSL in general. It's a pity, because Garimto should get S code.

I think it's wishful thinking that they are "amazing". Even Ro64 and some of Ro32 of season 1 was quite lackluster. I don't know why you expect jaw-dropping stuff going on here.
those are all the people i recognize... there exists the possiblity that there are highly ranked players from ladder that were not in the 1st GSL though.

Awesome .. Can't wait to see him in GomTV (Ro64 and forward). Honestly I won't put my expectation to see him too high yet, but in couple of months i believe he will be on top.
If he is oGsSuperstar on ladder, than SC2Ranks lists him as a Protoss player for the 1v1 ladder. Obviously he could have changed and he plays all the races on Gisado, but I think he's been laddering as Protoss.

most likely when he got there today he either decided or was asked to pick a new name, because being named boxer when you aren't lim yo hwan is kind of confusing. his ladder account is boxer, which is why that's his listed name here and on playxp.

EllenPage is Boxer? But EllenPage is 이중훈 Lee Jung-Hoon, and Boxer is 임요환 Lim Yo Hwan. Won't Boxer be playing as ManOfOneway?
The fake Boxer is using the ID Ellenpage (he has the ID on KR ladder) Real boxer = Manofoneway
Oh. Well, to avoid confusion people should probably say 'fake Boxer' if they want to say his ladder name, or just stick with EllenPage, as weird and creepy as it is.
This is Ellen Page. He ladders as BoxeR, and has been very successful, reaching the top of blizzard's rankings. As you can see, he is not Lim Yo Hwan. Hopefully this clears up any confusion.

He said he used marines and SCV's to stop it, so I assume the blings broke the wall.

If NaDa have mules it's not a problem vs 1 base zerg
Awesome! So sweet to have Nada in the tournament, but am I the only one who is a bit sad that he had to knock out a, from what I understood, pretty good "new" zerg player?
Would be awesome to see more great zerg making a name for themselves in GSL. But even more awesome to see Nada!

It's great he's through but they'll be lucky to break ro64. Particularly Boxer.
Don't be such a pessimist! The game is still young and is heavily reliant still on creativity and intelligent play. Just ask Tester!!!
Sure their raw mechanics aren't 100%, maybe only 90 or 80.... but the experience coupled with the coolness in the booth... they are going to be golden.
Lets not forget how many nervous kids were in S1. They aren't going up against EffOrt, Jaedong, Bisu or Flash here... SC2 will be much more forgiving to their slight shortcomings in mechanics IMO.
Not to mention they really know how to "prepare". Koreans are all about that word in interviews

Yeah, seems to me both NaDa and Boxer have been playing for a significantly less amount of time so this GSL may be difficult for them. I have no doubt of their dominance in the future, however.

I agree. But I fear they just don't have enough practice (but I don't know if it's true, just a feel4) to compete yet with people that play sc2 from the beta. So their mega skill could not be enough, just because they play sc2 for like 2 month against people with 6+ months. But it's just my guess, and I hope I'll be proven wrong
I would really like to see someone VERY exciting qualify that isn't Terran though. All the attention so far is TLO, Nada, BoxeR... SC2 and SC1 have a lot in common so far >.<

Well, the replays are TLO winning twice nada and once boxer, and idra winning boxer. (obv not a shame losing against TLO or idra) But I think they will not be good enough *yet* to go far against beasts like hongun, ensnare, rainbow, cool...in 2+ month this will obv be not true anymore.

I will imagine they have hidden some ACE up their sleeves. Bombling didn't get really popular until fruitdealer start dishing those out like.....fruits. It makes sense for them to play weaker than they are in ladder and showmatches.

I think it is almost always ladder rank, but when GSL rank is significant they sometimes put in instead ( such is the case for fruit dealer and rainbow)

On a side note, for the time being I don't think we can say Moon is a decent player for SC2. As what I read from Lyn interview, they are just playing it for fun at the moment, and mostly only during their leisure time. And by just playing leisurely like that Lyn can get through Ro64 :D I can start to hope that they have more potentials inside :D
Yeah, Lyn is the only one of the WC3 players to qualify. Moon got close, but ReminD, SouL, Soccer and a couple of others all got owned. It's hard to compete with guys playing full-time when you can only commit maybe a couple of hours each day to practice.

Pretty sure this isnt the case --
But Lyn had to play WCG ~1 week before GSL. Considering thats the only tourny he hasnt won before and theres a fairly large prize pool at stake since he was already in the semi's he probably practiced more WC3 than SC2. I think for these people "leisure time" just means they dont do it 12-14 hours a day lol.

Yea, maybe, I can't know for sure. But aren't they still contracting as WC3 players as for the moment?
Honestly I do hope that they can do a formal switch to SC2 and perform well. Check did this and he's actually doing OK.

8-12hrs of WC3, and then another 4hrs of SC2 is still much more than usual commoner like me who can only manage 8hrs ... per week :D

I think technically they're playing it "just for fun." Here is my reasoning. I think the only reason they were able to participate in the qualifiers to begin with as WeMade players is that they are still contracted as WC3 players, and their main game is still WC3. So, this was a sort of side-project or something they did in their free. So, it would appear that they are only able to play SC2 in their free-time due to their structured practice regiment for WC3.
However, seeing the amount of time/dedication they've put into the game so far, I think they'll definitely be switching over to SC2 full-time when their contracts have expired. I think its been said by the player in interviews that they will switch over sometime next year. I'm assuming thats when their contracts with WeMade will have expired.

They have free time?
MLG: Give us an idea of the lifestyle and practice regimen of a pro gamer in Korea.
Idra: We practiced for 12 to 13 hours a day, had around two hours of free time during the day, and got, on average, two days off a month—couldn't really leave the house other than that.
Seeing the number of WC3 players trying to qualify, I have a feeling we'll be seeing almost all of them try out @ GSL#3
check is a beast! more than ok . Moon is awesome, hopefully he will be back, he wasnt the best player ever at the start of wc3 either. So hopefully he will adjust and do something awesome .Although i feel like he should play zerg!
I'd be kind of interested to see the racial distribution of everyone who attempted to qualify/qualfied. NA seems to have so many Protoss as opposed to T or Z for actual signups (i.e., not who actually makes a splash, or wins a tournament)... wonder if it's similar in Korea, or if the distribution of races played/signing up is closer to even.
Hopefully Gas (who is insanely good) and Rainbow make it through from D-1, then Maka from D-2 (don't know any of the others from D-2 apart from ChipmunkPrime...).

I didn't express myself properly. ITR was a very good player what I meant is I can't imagine a gaming scene where ITR would be more popular than Nada or Boxer, because it is actually very possible as ITR was praised to no end by his fans for his looks and is said to model.
I remember him saying he wanted to quit gaming for modeling only... so it's like weird... ah

Quite alot of sc pros have pretty good looks, from what i've seen so far.
so 40 players from last GLS did not qualify this time, out of which 28 lost in the ro64, and another 7 in the ro32. so only 5 players that made ro16 last time didn't qualify for GSL2 (4 if you discount liveforever who didn't attend): Tester, TOP, Lotze and Anypro. Feels to me like they should start seeding the top16, or at least put them in a position where they only have to beat one person to advance.

These are the GSL pre-season events. They are designed to set up seeding for the real GSLs starting next year.

I think it would be ridiculous to seed in tournaments that are supposed to determine seeds; let's say two unknown but extremely skilled players have to play against each other in round 1 prelims - that's not fair either, but hey, that's life; some seeds, in fact, must exist, otherwise it wouldn't be possible that so many top players can advance in the first place (probability of some of them not playing against each other would be extremely low)

that's why I said seed 16 or 32 players or whatever from previous GSLs in a "ro128" and make them play the winners from 64 player brackets. This will ensure high level players in the ro64 as well as guaranteeing that known players won't face each other early on.

I think its pretty obvious they're already doing some sort of seeding even if its not actually said...what are the odds that out of all the big names/favorites none of them were really in the same bracket now that its over? All the big names that have been eliminated so far didn't lose to another big name but to an unknown which would've happened the same even with seeding.

All the big names that have been eliminated so far didn't lose to another big name but to an unknown which would've happened the same even with seeding.
CellaWerra had to play Clide in qualifiers, both qualified for GSL 1. Just wanted to point that out, Clide and Cella were in a position where only 1 of them could qualify for GSL 2, so I think that if they did seed people, all they did was seed the ~top 16 away from each other.
These are the GSL pre-season events. They are designed to set up seeding for the real GSLs starting next year.

I think it would be ridiculous to seed in tournaments that are supposed to determine seeds; let's say two unknown but extremely skilled players have to play against each other in round 1 prelims - that's not fair either, but hey, that's life; some seeds, in fact, must exist, otherwise it wouldn't be possible that so many top players can advance in the first place (probability of some of them not playing against each other would be extremely low)

Yea to clarify I don't think they went all out with it but they did clearly tamper with brackets to make sure the top 16 wouldn't face each other and huge names like Boxer/Nada would have fairly easy brackets.

That's really all the "seeding" they should do in GSL 2 and 3 since the first three GSLs are supposed to be like a preseason. Just prevent the top 16 from playing each other before the RO64.

It makes perfect sense.
Seeding the whole Ro 64 from GSL 1 would give a high chance of the GSLs looking identical, they are looking for the 96 best as I recall not the 64 so they don't want to seed too extensively. On the other hand they need to seed the higher ones because having Cool vs ITR or Cool vs Boxer in a non streamed match would be plain stupid.
This is my first post on TL and i'm proud to say i've been following this site for quite a while. Just wanted to say..... NaDa FIGHTINGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!! My terran hero has returned

CellaWerra isn't as known in Korea as he is on TL.net
