Like will those 32 players skip the bo1 rounds or what does that mean?

The players with the best seeds will face the players with the worst seeds first and play against each other as late in the tournament as possible.

Pretty amazing performance from Millenium players, especially Dayshi's one. Looks like we have another national hope finally.

What the hell. I thought Feast was gonna win it so I decided to sleep before the game.

Seems weird that these don't count towards points or something to determine code A...it's all about how you do on one specific day in one specific qualifier.
While that is similar to GSL, code B you play on one day, but with code B, they have tons of different bracket groups, so you only need to win a few matches, not win 6 in a row and still get nothing. it was confirmed that people that don't qualify (during the 4 qualifiers) but lost late in the brackets will have a better seed for the challenger qualifiers. so it's not all for nothing

you'll never get that easily in premier league ever again, its still a pretty good deal even if you have to play 40 hours in total because u barely managed to qualify just with the last qualifier. For next seasons premier league you have to go through the challenger league qualification, the challenger league and the up & downs with people like MC in there.
I think its still easier to invest 4 days in those qualifiers, so dont be all whiny because we live in a world with winners and losers.

The thing is, not all people participate in order to win one of the two spots. To be honest, a lot of players signed up who have next to no chance of finishing top 2, and they are probably even aware of it.
But it does not change that this is an incredibly big stage where they can show of their skills, over 20k people watched the qualifier across various streams! Of course, not everybody of the 20k viewers watched every game, but - that I want to stress out - the players (and their teams) definitely reached their key audience. Did the Spanish audience watch the game between Dayshi and GoOdy in the ro8 (or was that ro16?)? Probably not. Did the French or Germany audience watch that game? You bet they did! And French or Germany are the countries the player, the team, and the sponsors are situated in, the French or German audience is that part of the audience for them, which matters the most.
And in the last paragraph I am obviously assuming that the players were skilled enough to reach the latter stages of the qualifier. So it's not as if it were free publicity, they did work for it.

http://www.esl.eu/eu/sc2/wcs/2013season1_qualifier2/database/members/*/ .......some players are already in...im agree with some of them, but really......people like StarEagle? No coments...this is not justice.
I know im not going to win this.....(Maybe a 0'5% chance?lol) but if u r going to check-in by the face some players...invite all the GM's at least.....

I think Feast, Lowely and Fraer have the highest chances to qualify. Other than that there are a lot of contenders, I'm hoping for Goody, Krass and Xlord to make it through!
Out of the Koreans I can only see Finale having a shot, Tails and Daisy just aren't good enough and would already have a hard time qualifying without the lag issues.
