I don't think so, part of the requirement is a broadcast, this gsl qualifier had no stream at all.

Gotta draw the line somewhere, it's blurry but I figure qualifiers that don't have an "official" broadcast don't count even if a streamer is broadcasting them (i.e., the SSL qualifiers had an official cast by Brendan and Moonglade, even if they didnt show every match, while Khaldor doesn't actually work for GSL anymore).

Well i didn't update this stuff back then, we can argue about this case right now though
I wouldn't change anything cause there was a broadcast back then, but i can understand your reasoning as well, either way fine for me

I know it hasn't been done in the past but maybe it makes sense going forward to just rule that qualifiers don't count for UWC purposes (though things like Challenger League do). Pretty much all qualifiers outside of Korea are online anyway and the ones in Korea never have "real" broadcasts like full tournaments do.

But they also have to be broadcast and Korean qualifiers are basically never broadcast. You can read the page above and yeah sometimes SOMEONE streams SOME of the games but you just get into a nightmare trying to figure out whether a particular qualifier counts or doesn't count and it seems to me at least like it's simpler to just say that qualifiers don't count.

Yeah I thought that was an exception just because Bear wasn't going to be playing anywhere else. So that's fine but then the rule in the OP needs to be updated to say that LAN qualifiers for Korean leagues count even if not broadcast.

He's a little-known player who got UWC in early 2013 by beating RorO in SPL and the concern was that unless you counted the qualifiers for Code A/Challenger League, in which he was participating, he might never play another broadcast game and by default remain UWC forever.
