Edit: Anyone know when the four remaining TBA guys are going to be announced? Still pros left who aren't completely confirmed or will they pick random people from the venue?

The remaining spots are up for grabs tomorrow at the ESL Office.
The original plan was to split it 16 before and 16 via walk-in, but the interest was so overwhelming, that we decided to give out more spots in advance once players paid and confirmed their attendance.

Okay, cool! Nice that you're still doing at least some walk-in spots, tournament looks to be great in any case.
As long as the XMG booth isn't there and the stage is a bit more quiet.
I'm excited for this tournament. The player roster is decidedly B tier (read: not many koreans), but I think it's great that we get to see a lot of exciting up and comer and fan favourites have a chance at getting far into a tournament instead of being knocked out early by Code S Koreans.
Maybe see an old favourite like Kas or Demuslim finally get that big win they've been looking for. We get to see how top players from fringe scenes fare against the wider playerbase (Killer, the top South American player, Moonglade, the top SEA player, Minigun, a solid American that is picking up steam). We got Vortix, Slivko, and Sortof, emerging players who are sure to be a factor in the scene for some time to come. Throw in some European stars in Nerchio, Hasuobs and Feast and we have a really well rounded group of players.
But of course the likes of Taeja, Squirtle, MC, DRG, Alicia, etc. are probably gonna show up, tear through the open bracket, and litter the top 8 with Korean flags, but hey, so it goes.
