With at least 1-2 spots going to NA players and now another going to this tournament.
this leads to a question. Is it only 1 spot a month or 1 spot per week
Teamless players can participate in this "Korean weekly", right? It would actually be a great possibility for unknown players to get a Code A spot besides the Code B qualifier.

Awesome news bro. I dig it. Congrats on the partnership.

AWWWWWWEEEEEESSSSOOOOMMMEEE!
This is really, really cool. This is such a great partnership.

It will bring more status and importance to your league, congratulations!

This is great. Well done ESV !

It's a bit of a case by case. Being it's replay cast and has a very extensive rule book (9 pages to be exact) it's not totally open. However if I am made aware of a strong but teamless player I will work with them.

Awesome, congratulations on your deal! I have really enjoyed your Korean Weeklies so far and am looking forward to seeing your qualifier

Well Done Diamond!! Keep bringing us China / Korean Starcraft. Much appreciated, thanks!

Do foreigners that go to Korea to train participate in this? For instance Grubby is going to Korea soon would be cool to see him in this =)

Lol I do the same thing.
But AWESOME job iccup guys you've been around for a long time and this really is something!

Congratulations! This is win-win for all parties. It allows players who unfortunately hit a really strong player in the qualifiers to get in, as well as players who just have an off day and have to wait another 2 months. Not only that, but it will no doubt give the Korean Weekly more viewers. This is great news!

I see. It would be great if you could include them in the future. For instance we have players like San & SaSe that are teamless that would be great if they have the option to qualify for Code A this way.

What happens if the winner is already "coded" ? Would the first uncoded take the spot ? Yep. On September 08 2011 18:23 Asha` wrote: So sick, such an amazing tournament and I'm so glad you guys have made this happen! =)
I do have a question about what this means for the scope of entrants now? We've still had a good number of Code S/A participants lately, will they still be allowed to compete if winning gets you a code A spot, or will we see it become exclusive to code B? Code A/S players are welcome, if the winner of the monthly is coded, the 2nd place gets it, if he is coded then 3rd gets it, etc, etc. If you didn't see my post on the last page, please spoiler the day 2 up and down results in your post, it's been less than 24 hours and it'd suck for someone who was trying to avoid them. It's been 24 hours, I'm pretty sure that's long enough.
Well 24 hours might be enought for not getting a warning here or something but it still would be nice to spoiler it. I think for a tournament that a lot of people here watch over vod's, cause of the time its casted, 24 hours is not enough though. Give it 48 or 72 hours. Well for me the damage is done I got spoilered. ![](/mirror/smilies/frown.gif)

I tried to warn him -_-
Adding "(Spoiler)" in the same line of the spoiler doesn't really help Diamond. Just change Jjakji's description to something else if you don't wanna use spoilers. And your description of him is wrong anyway. He made Top 8, not Top 4 of Code A.

Having more tournaments like this get recognized in korea will be great
