so theres only 1 qualifier?
doesnt that seem to be harder than the NA an EU qualifiers then? since only 1 chance to get in?
for example
NA has 4 qualifiers to allow 16 players in (so players like Polt can try 4 times)
China has 1 qualifier to allow 8 players in (so players like Macsed, Toodmingt, Jim only try once) ?
pretty sure each region chose its own qualifier format

The pretty small active player base here probably can't support multiple qualifiers without lowering overall competition level. From what I know it pretty much took full 4 days to fill the 256 spots.

Who is Clavie and is he good?
Also it's a shame that courage and Jim are in the same losers bracket. I remember courage's games against Arium and thestc, they were really awesome.

I think the last four spots go to Toodming, Top, Jim, and not-Hunter. (Nothing against Hunter, of course, I just think he's outclassed in his bracket.)

Courage is now half a Heroes of Storm player, a quarter a commentator, only a quarter left an SC2 player.

Jim qualifies yay! Too bad for Ein, that was pretty nice game.

What was Ein doing after defending that blink stalker all-in? He threw that game.

Turned out he is a student studying in Switzerland, not a citizen.

Actually it is unfortunately that  Ein and  Jim are in the same bracket. I would not be surprised if  Courage get beaten by Ein. Ein is arguably on par with those Chinese progamers at the moment, though he is only an amateur player. However, he has his own career and family affair, therefore does not want to be a progamer. It is really a shame since Ein could have be shining in the foreign scene if he pursues to play it full time. But it makes sense considering the environment in China, where it is difficult to make money for progamers, except for the very top ones. For Clavie, he is a former Grandmaster player on EU server.
Thank you for the information!
Hopefully I get to hear familiar Chinese names when heroes of the storm gets released for real.
And damn shame about the environment in China. Always felt like they had great potential if only there was more attention given to them (especially considering how terrible MLG and Blizzard handled the first WCS AM qualifier where they essentially did a F-U to China).

Top has also transfered to play Hero of the Storm, though he somehow still manages to maintain his StarCraft performance.
