I suspect the financial situation has changed a bit with crowdfunding.

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.
I'm just a cynical video game enjoyer who is probably unfazed by many business dealings many would find utterly distasteful, while not strictly illegal by the law as seen in a general sense in the world.

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.

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 ...

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.
