So few zergs.
Is it an attempt to equalize the main bracket distribution?
Not sure how I fell about that.

We run open online qualifiers and the open bracket registration was also open. So the distribution of races is based only on those who advanced online / showed interest in the open bracket.

I think it might be the other way around. Most of the top zergs already have a spot so there are less in the qualifiers.

No intriguing matches yet as far as I can see (hinging on who the remaining 5 players are), but I guess that's for the best since there's a good distribution of players in each bracket. Think group D is the group of death so far, by just a hair.

yeah there's a few favourites in each one but the level of competition in these brackets leading to the groups will be epic
bomber/nani
mvp/oz
nestea/puma
mc/forgg
look to be the favourites~

Potential TSL3 MVP vs Adelscott rematch.

Would love to see Socke vs NesTea, Lucifron or White-Ra vs MC.

Good stuff.

I think strelok has a good shot of getting out of bracket C, he does have some strong TvZ so as long as he avoids killer he could get through in the lower bracket.

It will be postponed. Just like HerO vs Curious.
If you make no mistake, yet still lose - you don't understand the game. Spiral out, keep going.

I hope foreigners create a major upset in the open bracket, long time since I saw guys like whitera, lucifron, tarson or strelok on the big stage. Now, let's be honest, probably none of them will make it :[

i think he'll cancel - WCS KR and IEM have similar prizepools and MC has a better chance of busting the bank if he goes to IEM :D

I really hope that he doesn't follow that reasoning..
There's more to life than just money. Being WCS Korean champion is a bigger title, not to mention it means qualification to WCS Asia and later the actual World Championship.

You were probably being sarcastic though
