Merely making it to the main event of IEM is already probably a career best result for him in any event right? Cyan really has the time of his life right now, since he apparently will also participate in ESL Winter (Firefly couldn't make it) | ||

Coming from the Open side is pretty grueling -- any of the top25 Europeans could honestly upset any of these guys in a single bo3, so... it will be very tough for them. And just like that, Jieshi takes down Nightmare and Creator. Wowza. Korean Protosses always find a way to tilt me. Gerald takes down DRG. Vanya pushing Bunny to the limit. Good luck to everybody tomorrow. | ||

Not feeling hopeful he'll make it now with only AM qualifiers left :< I'm sure the ping difference is a pretty significant disadvantage... so it's not too surprising KR players are struggling i guess Congrats to Jieshi, i was surprised to see Gerald beating DRG, Wayne almost beating Bunny, etc. Seems like the skill gap between foreigners and KR is really closing in. And not just the foreigner vs KR aspect, but like the gap between high GM and pro seems to be closing too as the game gets more figured out | ||

But if she has to go through LB, not betting much on her because unlikely she gets through the American qualifier given everybody will play there on a ok ping. | ||

One of them won't qualify anyway. The only unknown is who. Picked up Scarlett because she has a higher ceiling than Kelazhur, but not by a mile either. | ||

Boy was I wrong, dude really delivers since then (Also a GSL winner losing three Bo5s against foreigners in a row must be some kind of record, right?) | ||

It's now confirmed that at least a couple top Koreans will be missing Katowice. I think the NA server should have had a few more slots. Maybe take 2 from EU and 1 from KR. I highly doubt Classic loses back to back bo5 matches to Skillous and Spirit on NA. So you want EU to have the least Qualifying spots instead of NA because Kr Players have a better Ping to NA?  Take. | ||
