isn't it GSL+OSL = WCS KR ?

It's happening. On most streams too I guess, at least Kaelaris and Mori show it.

Krass was actually the most impressive Terran so fare because his bio multitasking drop vs Harstem was just a pleasure to watch. And his mech was just so solid.

Assuming Morrow plays terran, 13P, 12Z, 5T, with two ZvP still unfinished

However hellbat drops aren't really linked to mech play. So then you might as well do hellbat drops + bio. But will have a look at Bunny's games.

That's it. Even though, as far as I now, no OSL since the first in SC2 was never announced, so I don't know if an OSL would have been ever played without WCS. I think it would, but I'm not sure.

Harstem is like the Dutch Pandatank. He made the final (32) bracket in all 4 QF's if I'm not mistaken. Next round he's up against White/LaLush.

White-ra makes a deep run? All streams flock towards him haha

Anyone knows how WCS KR works?
1 WCS KR season = 1season GSL + 1 season OSL?
or it's 1 WCS OSL, 2 WCS GSL ?

In all honesty I'm rooting quite hard for PandaTank since the second qualifier. His regularity his quite impressive for a player of his profile, who's almost never played at pro-level in tournaments.

Zikto switched to NA server to help XiGua's latency despite having every right to remain on EU cause of the nature of WCS EU, thats such a kind thing to do
