Honestly, I think this qualifier bracket is harder than the recent Code A bracket. This does offer 4 chances though. But I think the Kespa/ESF players would have had a better chance staying in Korea imo. Then again, once you get Challenger/Premier League here it's a lot easier to maintain/advance so I guess it's a risk worth taking for a lot.

So..? What's the difference?
As if that was a legitimate reason for that in the first place.

Not sure if stupid or just trolling... O.o Or maybe you just consider Koreas C-players as a harder bracket than Code A? Take a look at the players http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=419788

He was so happy he chose Korea in his interview when he qualified.

O.o It's probably your ignorance. To get Code A you had to win 2 or 3 matches.
To get Challenger League in WCS NA you have to win 6. The player pool at the Code A qualifiers wasn't all that impressive either. Perhaps slightly better compared to these qualifiers.

Well, kespa teams dont send their players to tournaments like these normally. Thats why it is strange. I wonder if they the players that are here have/are going to retire from their teams.
