So does this mean on the other bracket all of these players that didn't qualify are edited in and then Startale's replacement gets Curious's spot in the other bracket?

This deserves more hype imo, hopefully any future broadcasts could be listed in the TL calender, also AcE should probably list his stream under SC2 to get more viewers.
Legend was observing earlier i've understood but had to leave and now Golden is observing, pretty cool!

I was rooting for JJ since only 3 Terrans have qualified sofar, but grats to Curious!

i submitted the event but TL staff ;_;

anyway, updating OP now! sorry i was away for a bit, but liquipedia had results etc

They already did. How do you think Naniwa qualified? Do you think he beat Koreans?

So did the Koreans but they also got another qualifier (this one) and this time 5 seeds will be given out.

Why does ESF get their own qualifier? Will foreigners get their own qualifier?

Because IPL and GOMTV are partners, eSF players get perks for IPL events.

Mvp lost to BBoong. :/

C'mon Mvp, crush through Dream/Creator then win in the finals and advance to IPL Season 6!

I'm rooting for you, now and forever!

BBoongBBoong > Tear

Life > BBoongBBoong

As such, both my head and heart are with Life on this one.

Good, there are more good players in Korea, so it makes sense to give them more qualifiers.

5 seeds is too much tho. Nothing but Koreans is not good for the viewership.

If you think that's bad there are 12 players coming from IPTL which is likely to be LG-IM and then one of startale or team MVP

Oh wow. Its IPL4 all over again, huh? This is bad for IGN and overall attendance. I will definitely avoid the LR thread and pray that Alive aka zero fucks given doesnt win.

IPL is basically the GSL of the west and has been for their past two events, personally I enjoy it but I know a lot of people wish there were more foreigners there. I think by now most viewers have accepted the Korean dominance and have learned to be fans of the popular Korean players. I think it if really impacted viewership so much then IPL would change their system, either way I understand if some people don't want to watch it.

At least there is the HotS open bracket which will likely have tons of foreigners in it.
