Same as last season, qualifiers are nationality based, so you can only play in Chinese qualifier if you are a Chinese citizen. The Worldwide qualifier is for non-Korean and non-Chinese players.

Pretty badass! Great invites, too. While Stork might be the weakest one there (we shall see just how weak in <24 hours), soO + Flash + Parting is really awesome to see.
Also yay for Bo5. Might take a bit longer, but almost always results in a better series.
|
Dem invites doe. Fan favorites, so this is going to be hard to choose..
I hope MMA qualifies and wins the entire thing! :D
|
This is awesome! So hyped =D

China "only" takes 20% from prizepool? That's little in general.

We'll remove any ineligible sign ups before it starts.
Also the global qualifier is moved to September 2nd to avoid conflict with MSI MGA, this is the final date and won't see further changes.

Hello Gamers:
If we have any question about the Season 2 of Kung Fu Cup Worldwide Qualifier who can help us ?
Do they have a support team that can reply to our emails concerning this tournament?
Thank you !
|
These invites are solid, thank god they invited god.
|
The entrants for the Global qualifiers seem kinda lacklustre, was/is there a clash with something else?
|
Wow, gz Zhugeliang! Shaping up to be a solid lineup!
|
I will try my best to make Finland, China and luca lin proud ~~~

I wish I could watch your games with my Chinese friends but they're into LoL and all that moba jazz...

Thats weird that groups are not up yet, even though there is 3 days left till the 1-st one
|

Oh I forgot to mention that the groups are being rescheduled since WCS is way too close. Will update the thread when new info are available.
|
Is this still going to happen

Groups and new schedule coming in a day or two. Too much things going on in September around WCS and Korean events means it's hard to schedule around those.
|
So when is this actually happening?

I've given up hope tbh

Groups and schedule coming on Monday guys, don't panic. It'll start after Proleague finals and run through October since there are likely no tournaments then.
|
China6330 Posts
Thread has been updated with groups and final schedule! Sadly we have to change group stage matches back to BO3 due to time constraints.
|
Hype! This should be exciting, forza KT & ZGL!
|
Pretty cool despite the lack of Terran. Last season was great.

Next time we get Flash Stork and Jaedong to make up for it?

This is awful What could this mean for Flash? It his only tournament in a period of 2 months, so why would he withdraw?

Could be taking a break or what i hope is the people who are now not in blizzcon before the new game comes out, piling all there time into LotV. Lets see him practice and practice on that ladder and get himself prepared for the new game.
|
Guess the KT players that aren't at BlizzCon are already practicing Legacy? I hope that's the case.

No player on KT other than Zest plays HotS now, that's why the replacement was changed from TY to Zest in the last minute.

If that's the case that's excellent news! I am always worried about the other senario these days, which would guarantee multiple heart attacks

Well that's what I am told, I assume Life still practices HotS for a bit but probably not a lot?
