I suspect the financial situation has changed a bit with crowdfunding.
Anyway, glad to see this return.

I like having points tournaments like this, if solely to make there actually be a competition for the 3 'combined standings' seeds to ESL Masters events

Surprised to see so many notable KR players not try to qualify. Maru's the big one but also DRG/Bunny/Classic. Any word from any of them?

Some players probably seeing the list of players for the first qualifier, and think, unlikely they get through. Might just as well focus on the second and in the NA server one.

Maru make another insane TvT comeback like his usual self. And I cried blood when seeing Creator botched the Carriers timing so bad against Byun, seem like Classic is the only KR Protoss know how to play the lategame PvT correctly, hes making 4 Disrutors at a time and go bowling.

Sick players. Can't wait for the event and groups

Man Future had a pretty solid NA run only to just fall

Future has been popping off the last couple weeks. I haven't caught any of his games yet but did he reach a new level or something?

Since Matcherino took over part of what the former AlphaX team was, sounds like it's the case. Wouldn't have guaranteed anything, but almost makes you wonder what would have happened if the switch happened at the start of the season instead of just recently ...

Would appreciate if anyone can share any insights/vods on Reynor beating Elazer with Protoss.
|
Good luck all participants!
Group B is looking sick. Three World Champs in one group! And Classic, albeit no great wins yet after his military service, he is a true legend as well.
