He has played nine ladder games in the last two weeks on his main account, I'm not sure he's in shape. Dunno whether he has smurfs. I'm rooting for Karont3_Ryo because it would be funny to have three brothers in Premier League and for Vasa who also has unexpectedly signed up. If they have to be players with actual chances I'm rooting for Welmu because he's awesome and sick good and for LoWeLy because they should have invited him to begin with. | ||

Why does RoX have barely anyone signed up? Just TitaN in Premier, and LiveZerg in the qualifiers  | ||

I just hope some more terrans will make it into the Premier League. The age restriction is pretty dumb btw. | ||

It's possible that exceptions have been made for him/WCS Korea for this season, as WCS Korea "took over" the running GSL Then make an exception for heromarine. He played wcs germany last year and barely missed wcs europe finales in the final match against darkforce. Hes turning 16 in two month im sure you can make an exception for this short time period! It works for maru too somehow and life was even gsl champion under 16. and in korea they have a lot more offline matches where age could be a problem. Its just unfair to make it so hard for a young up and coming player only because of two month. He has a good shot to qualify for premier league and otherwise he would have to go through the challenger division next season or even the third season. In my opinion he has enouh achievements to justify an exception. Most of it is online anyways so his age might not turn out as a problem at all from a legal standpoint. I would just omit the age restriction entirely because its not like anybody else below 16 would even stand a chance to qualify anyhow. They clearly dont have an age restriction in korea and establishing an esports scene like in korea is what wcs 2013 is all about, isnt it? thats just like having the qualifiers bo1 and mlg having an entrance fee for the qualifier. its bs and needs changing. plz  | ||

This guy is one of the few GOOD TERRANS we have in Europe, he MUST participate. WCS without this promising talent would be a shame. | ||

I haven't seen them in any of the qualifier lists, but I only skimmed through the signups for the last three qualifiers yesterday. Not sure how this will work out, maybe they got cold feet. | ||

Yes, I'm not sure what's up with that, surprised me as well. Don't know if it's really him, but it's not unlikely, at least he has China listed as his country. Strange that he could want to play on NA, especially since I assume his teammate Macsed will play on NA. I thought China had pretty terrible lag to any of the regions. | ||

Seemed doable for Macsed to US when he was streaming earlier. It would be a pretty strange (and unfortunate) outcome if EU is just MVP, MMA & the europefied ForGG, while the US WCS is packed to the brim with an assortment of Koreans. With the lock-in it's hard to see it change much. | ||

There are always surprises and unexpected runs. TSL4 had a sick player list in every qualifier and in the first four qualifiers (relevant because we'll also have 4 qualifiers here) players like Lalush or Pink managed to get to the finals. If someone achieves this in the WCS qualifiers, he gets a spot in Premier League. I wouldn't count anyone out, even someone you've never heard of, and I'm sure you have heard of XlorD. | ||
