I found this article today and thought I'd pass the information along since this will be the first event that anyone outside Gomtv has broadcast a Starcraft 2 event in Korea. I'm really excited about this happening and glad to see there is definitely a potential for more cooperation for future events so it's not all on Gomtv's back to bring Star 2 to the fans in and outside of Korea. Also cool the finals will be held in Busan.

I included the Korea Association of Starcraft 2 top 10 list also to help the translation along since I don't know how to relink in post. SlayerS isn't a member so they had separate registration for WCG event. Anyway this should be a good event. Let the restream's begin.

WCG: Moon and Lyn give up SC2 to focus on WC3

WCG South Korea has received registrations from the 9 teams of the Korean SC2 association, as well as Slayers (Including three 14 year old players on the rosters of the 10 professional teams). This edition of WCG Korea will be split into an online and an offline preliminary, to decide who gets the right to participate in WCG international.

This edition of WCG Korea will have 8 players who are seeds and can bypass the online preliminary to directly participate in the offline competition. The choosing of the 8 seeds will be based on using their results from SC2 tournaments to calculate the most fair rankings. Amateur players can register from 15 July through the official WCG website (Only masters league and above).

Besides, FOX's Moon, Lyn, and other WC3/SC2 hybrid players will not be able to participate in multiple competitions due to the rules and have chosen to give up SC2 in favour of WC3.

At the same time, Korean television station OnGameNet will broadcast the WCG Korea SC2 qualifiers from September onwards, this is also in accordance with KeSPA and Blizzard's reconciliation. This is the first time SC2 has been broadcasted by a channel other than GOMTV.

WCG: Moon and Lyn to give up focus on StarCraft 2 Warcraft 3

In addition, FOX's Moon, Lyn and other Starcraft 2 and Warcraft 3 players alike because they are unable to participate in the WCG provides a number of events to give up to participate in StarCraft 2 qualifiers, and the choice of Warcraft 3.

Could someone translate this part properly please? Will moon and lyn be playing sc2, wc3, or both?

They will not do both. Just WC3 which disqualifies them from participating in Star 2 event.

As far as I m reading this, Moon and Lyn are going to be playing WC3 because they are unable to sign up for the SC2 prelims, because they arent in one of the top 10 teams...? I duno, seems like a retarded system but it wouldnt surprise me ^_^!

I actually think they could probably sign up anyway, most likely, but they probably have better chances of winning the KR wc3 qualifiers? Although I dont know what kind of WC3 shape they are in.

EDIT: Or is the top 10 list completely unrelated? If so I dont get what its doing there.

they are committed to sc2, I dont think you recognize their skill in wc3, they are able to go back and compete in wc3 without much practice, compared to the practice they need for results in sc2.

Moon and Lyn probably have a better shot qualifying for WCG WC3 anyways.

Jinro, did you try to qualify for WCG Sweden or was that already decided? Also, sexy Frozen Arbiter icon!

i would be surprised if either moon or lyn decide to do wc3 instead of sc2. theyre too deep in to regress back to wc3.

I put in in there since I can't link within the spoiler for the 14 year old's. I guess I should've wrote the player names in the OP instead of confusing people. :/

From what I gather, moon and lyn are not participating by their own choice, as they probably have a higher chance of winning WC3.

I tried to translate the article, here goes:

WCG: Moon and Lyn give up SC2 to focus on WC3

WCG South Korea has received registrations from the 9 teams of the Korean SC2 association, as well as Slayers (Including three 14 year old players on the rosters of the 10 professional teams).

I guess it just means you can't compete in more than one game.

Just will like to add, DAMN that OP translation made my eyes bleed.

Yep, there will be match scheduling clashes if players participate in multiple games.

I see Huk's name in the oGs-TL roster. Would he be representing Korea if he were to undergo qualifications for WCG?

WCG is based on citizenship, which means you can only participate in the WCG qualifier of the country you hold citizenship in. So Huk could play in Canada WCG if he chooses to, but will be banned from Korea WCG.

To be honest i think moon and lyn have no chances to go on wcg even if they were able to sign fo kor quals. Its sad but they are not on this level yet. Will be happy to see what they will do in wc3 again. I think they dont forget anything because the game is far easier than sc2.

Hmmm 8 seeds? If its based on tournament performance my speculation is as follows:

Nestea
MC
Polt
MVP
MKP (won 2 FXO and 3 time GSL finalist)
Bomber (won code A, good chance to win this GSL)
MMA (MLG win and Super tournament final, plus amazing team league performance)

Unsure of the the final player, there are quite a few candidates: Puzzle & TOP(code A winners), DRG (team league performance, LG tournament winner and potential to win this MLG), hongun & byun(if they go further this GSL), Nada(consistency), Puma(NASL winner), July, losira.
