Yes! Can't wait for more GSL!

Especially hype to see qualifier content as well, thanks Creighton!

Prince is a new player who qualified for the GSL last year.

Players like gyulzzing, NightMare, or Percival might be the new Korean blood, but they are still quite far from the top, and without infrastructure and the reduced number of big tournament they can participate in (or even qualify), I'm not sure they will be able to progress enough to do anything more than qualify for the first round of GSL. Maybe the new Code A will give them more chances to play big games.


But there are a ton of smaller, international events like Wardi does. Or the weeklies. I mean the "upcoming events" tab is always full of interesting stuff. Ofc there are some server issues but other than that? Can't imagine them not knowing about stuff like this

I have the feeling Team GP is actually doing a good job motivating its players to participate in a lot of qualifiers/tourneys. I saw a lot of their players in Qualifiers lately. Ryung and Tails are signed up in pretty much everything, Wardi throws out there.
But some other Korean 2nd and 3rd Tier players just don t signup for a lot of stuff for some reason.

The argument, that they are probably not full time (like for example Prince) shouldn t realy matter, as pretty much the entire NA scene isn t full time either and EU Players like Kelazhur, Gerald or Gungfubanda (or Stephano when he was still at Uni) manage to maintain a decent level of play and of tournament participation, despite not beeing full time either.

Hey gang - bit of bad news. I’m afraid that there will be no broadcast of the GSL qualifiers this season. AfreecaTV staff told me it takes too much time to collect and check each replay, and of course, players are reticent to show their strategies before the season. I suspect that for these reasons, the GSL qualifiers will never again be broadcast.

Looking forward to the normal GSL season though.

Thanks for trying! It makes sense though. Any idea when the games are being played? I’m excited to see the results.

March 10th and 11th! Coming right up. Liquipedia is usually pretty good about tracking the challonge brackets, so you can usually follow along in relatively real-time.

Inno, Armani, Rogue, Solar qualify for Code S, joining Trap, Zoun, Zest and Dream from ST1.
Maru, Cure, DRG and RagnaroK qualify for Code A.
Tomorrow 12 more spots in Code A are up for grabs

Dark, TY, Stats, sOs, Bunny and Byun didnt even qualify for Code A yet. LOL, this is brutal. I am sure they will all qualify tomorrow, but Maru, Cure, DRG and Ragna are already waiting in Code A. Depending on the format, there is a possibility some big names might be eliminated :O

Edit: At least 2 players from this batch wont be able to make it to Code S. And that is only if the brackets are favorable and they wont get eliminated by each other
Top 11: Rogue, Maru, Inno, Zest, Life, sOs, Stats, Dark, soO, Mvp, Classic/Trap/MC/Rain

Armani beating Dark twice and Maru once is pretty sick.
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

those qualifiers actually look pretty stacked, maybe the cutoff was a bit harsh

Parting, Patience, Byun, Bunny, Stats, TY, sOs, Dark, Hurricane, Special ought to be the shoeins - that's 10 players. Which leaves 2 spots for billowy/creator/younglings, maybe one or two more with upsets/bracket disparities

Highly unlikely, but it'd be amazing if Curious managed to qualify now that Code A exists again. THE GATEKEEPER
