Map Selection Rules:
+ Show Spoiler +
Best of 3 in all rounds!

In a Best of 1, Best of 3 and Best of 5 a map veto (removal and pick) system is used. The high seeded player(seeds can be found at round 1 on the grid page) decides who starts. Players take it in turn removing maps until only one remains in a best of 1 or until only 3 maps remain in a best of 3. Then each player picks a map. Maps are played in order they are picked. The remaining map is played last.

I think he meant the #1 of each race. In which case, that's reasonable.

Life, Maru, and any of those 3 protoss players are good candidates for the best Zerg, Terran, and Protoss.

Hopefully the Koreans try the other qualifiers. No foreigners allowed except Snute plz :p

Weeell, there's the ForGGuarantee. But Naniwa definitely has a shot, if he decides to try.

I really hope for Snute, of course.

When koreans can play the EU qualifier from Korea? Tough luck. Even with high MS the koreans are good at the game

Please, with Swarm Hosts being imba, PvP being stupid and Terran being Terran, there's no way Naniwa gloriously qualifies.

Either GSL/SpoTV reschedules (as it has been done in the past) or yes Maru/Life will indeed forfeit.
