I think they listed Supernova as Protoss by mistake, because I can't find his name anywhere else on there.

Yes looks like he is seeded past the qualifiers and straight into the WCG Korea tournament.

I looked through to see if maybe all 3 representatives of Korea from 2011 were seeded but Marineking and Supernova's names are there so I guess only Mvp is seeded.

Yeah I figured he'd get seeded into the main Korea tournament. They should probably just send him straight to the WCG main tournament as Defending Champion though? Kinda weird not to have the defending champ there.

Woah, the group with Skyhigh, Lizzy, Soulkey, and Light looks crazy.

And KT.hitmaN, the bonjwa of our time, is in the group with Horang2, BaBy, Fantasy, and hyvaa, among others.

Ohhh I am ashamed I missed his name.

He's definitely going to deserve the new bonjwa of our times title if he beats Horang, BaBy and Fantasy.

I watched every single MKP vs Leenock games in GSL. I feel like Leenock's style not good against MKP.

I don't think WCG did defending champ seed for BW either so it seems ok. 13 Kespa and 17 Non-Kespa = 30 players + IMMVP + 1 Kespa seed(All the top Kespa players seemed account for...) = 32 man group stage?

Hope Nestea wasn't kidding about the "unending training" for OSL and WCG because he's going to need it with that group -_-

He won't make it with how he's been playing :/

Well the WCG Korea tournament picks the three representatives of Korea each year, top 3 of the tournament go to the grand finals. You can't just seed the previous winner in every year since you only get 3 spots into the finals It's not really fair to the other players. If Mvp earns it by winning WCG Korea again ( or anywhere in the top 3 ) he can go back to defend his title.

WCG Korea is actually much harder to win than the WCG grand finals themselves. although Marineking and Supernova did not actually make it to the finals of the WCG last year, getting eliminated before they got there by foreigners. Mvp ended up carrying the flag for Korea winning both tournaments.

Unless WCG came up with some new rule that the winner of the previous year gets seeded in again and skips any nationals, and still gives 3 spots to WCG Korea it doesn't really make sense.

It's silly that only 3 people from a country so full of talent get to represent Korea in the finals, but I guess that keeps it more fair for foreigners and keeps WCG what it's supposed to be about.

Ah, this makes more sense and it rewards MVP by giving him seed to Ro16. But 30 players --> 15 will be different. Can't do Dual tournament. I guess they can have 5 groups of 6 and do round robin and top 3 advances? Or they can do 1v1 but would seem weird.

Also, it seems the schedule will be Kespa on 27th, Groups 1-9 non Kespa on 28th, Group 10-17 non Kespa on 29th (all FXO, Slayers are in these groups to avoid conflict with GSTL)

OGN did the production for WCG Korea last year but it was also streamed on GOM, all the vods were ( and still are ) free. You can find them on GOM's website.

GOM is broadcasting WCS Korea so OGN might do WCG to split the workload, I don't think anyone knows for sure yet.

I'm not a fan of the segregation of brackets between Kespa and GSL players... the second Kespa players catch up this type of segregated bracketing will disapear, and should the GSL players fall behind, theres not a snowballs chance in hell that the SC2 scene will cater to the GSL players by giving them seperate bracketing... It all seems very biased, everyone is trying so hard to protect Kespas interests. I guess it's necessary though, we do need Kespa to successfully integrate into SC2 to bring over the BW viewerbase..

Wow for a second there I thought this was WCS and was really confused because those were already played out. I dislike the separate brackets for Kespa and non-Kespa players, but it's probably the best they could do to even the playing fields given the fact that Kespa players transitioned so recently and still have to play BW to some extent. Hopefully the Kespa representatives are able to "level-up" their skill before the two types of players meet.

Looks like VODs will be on GOM for the WCG Korea prelims, they just put up a WCG2012 section on their website.

Yes looks like he is seeded past the qualifiers and straight into the WCG Korea tournament.

I looked through to see if maybe all 3 representatives of Korea from 2011 were seeded but Marineking and Supernova's names are there so I guess only Mvp is seeded.


Yeah I figured he'd get seeded into the main Korea tournament. They should probably just send him straight to the WCG main tournament as Defending Champion though? Kinda weird not to have the defending champ there.


I don't think WCG did defending champ seed for BW either so it seems ok. 13 Kespa and 17 Non-Kespa = 30 players + IMMVP + 1 Kespa seed(All the top Kespa players seemed account for...) = 32 man group stage?


No, it will be 13 Kespa + 17 Non-Kespa = 30 players qualifier round 1 -> 15 players + MVP = 16 players qualifier round 2 -> Final 3 goes to WCG

I'm not a fan of the segregation of brackets between Kespa and GSL players... the second Kespa players catch up this type of segregated bracketing will disapear, and should the GSL players fall behind, theres not a snowballs chance in hell that the SC2 scene will cater to the GSL players by giving them seperate bracketing... It all seems very biased, everyone is trying so hard to protect Kespas interests. I guess it's necessary though, we do need Kespa to successfully integrate into SC2 to bring over the BW viewerbase..


I actually think this is ok for the first few tournaments. We have to remember that in Korea, the BW teams have the big sponsors. As we have seen in the WCS qualifiers, although BW pros are playing well, they would be hard press to make it through mixed brackets (only Reality made it thru and a few others got to finals). Then we would basically have GSL players in OSL, WCS and WCG while Kespa players only have PL. I don't think sponsors will be too happy about that. Of course, viewer base is important as well. It is sort of like foreign tournaments holding qualifiers for each region (the server lag plays a part but let's be honest, plenty of koreans can qualify playing on EU/NA servers).

Also, this is just for the qualifiers and to make it to WCG, you need to make top 3 so I think it is fine. It is not like Kespa gets 1 of the seeds and non Kespa gets the other 2.

Wait, there are only 30 spots open in the qualifiers, and 1 goes to mvp, any idea what happened to the last spot?
edit: nvm^
They are determining all 3 seeds for the wcg grand finals this weekend? That's really unfourtunate, I liked how they did it last year where it was drawn out and every match was broadcast.

30 spots from qualifiers --> 15 bo3 to select 15
these 15 + mvp -> play tournament to determine top3

Actually, the way I'm interpreting the page is this:
Day 1- kespa prelims
Day 2- non-kespa prelims
Day 3- first 10 bo3s (out of the 15) of the preliminary winners
Day 4- (which is oddly enough 2 days after day 3) the last 5 bo2s of the preliminary winners.
^day 4 is also not listed on the gom page or schedule, so I wonder if gom knows that this is supposed to be a 4 day qualifier.
It is unclear as to what they will do the 15 bo3 winners + MVP.
Perhaps there is hope that it will be long and drawn out like last year. =D Hopefully there will be an english stream too.
It's also weird that the 2nd group of kespa players are scheduled to be playing on aug 1. If that is true, this whole qualifier does not make sense to me. -_-
It's disappointing to see so much potential in a tournament, but terrible clarification. Hopefully stuff gets sorted out soon enough.

hmm
day 1 - kespa prelims
day 2 - nonkespa prelims groups 1-9
day 3 - nonkespa prelims groups 10-17 (since too many groups and also slayers/fxo are busy on day 2 with GSTL)
AND
10 BO3 (these 10 are between some kespa players and nonkespa groups 1-9)
day 4 - 5 BO3 (between nonkespa groups 10-17 and the rest of the kespa players)

i think.

Yes, last year, basically it is Code B qualifiers (but with ALL players except 8 seeds) + Code S (32 man 2 group stages, then 8 man single elim) all rolled into 1 and took like 3 months (aug 6th - Nov 13). This year, it will be slightly shorter since we will have single elim until Ro16 (not sure what happens after that) but we have Kespa players as well so the tournament is huge. The number of full time pro players in Korea is probably close to the rest of the world combined.

And MC's comment sort of makes sense. Maybe he was originally slotted for day 3 which was going to conflict with ASUS ROG. All the players going to ASUS ROG are scheduled to play on Day 2 EXCEPT Hero. Not sure what is up with that. Maybe he plans to play on Aug 1st and then head straight to the airport to make it in time for ASUS ROG on the 2nd.

True. But remember he won GSL season 2 as well which is what got him the WCS seed. OSL seed was from being the top Terran in terms of results and WCG seed is because he is defending champ at WCG Korea and WCG itself.

Assuming he gets through his WCG group, he will still have one more best of 3 against another group winner so it is probably be pretty late Korea time when he finishes. If he has booked a late flight, due to time difference, he will arrive at ROG early morning of the 3rd. Which still gives him quite a bit of time to rest since his group doesn't start until 7PM local time. So I think he should be fine. He has Socke, Elfi and SortOf in his group.

Saw quite a few early team kills for Startale players, but I guess that's one of the drawbacks to their absorption of Zenex.

It would be nice if all the premier/major tournament built up to one titanic event.

It would be nice if all the premier/major tournament built up to one titanic event.


Well they kind of do, that's what the Blizzard cup was. Inviting the champions of lots of tournaments and the top of GSL points, which are the GSL champions.

i dont get why they are still splitting kespa and gsl players, bigger games vs gsl players are only going to give the kespa players more confidence if they win.

When are these qualifiers? Sorry if it's been mentioned already in the thread, must have missed it somehow then.

They ought to be hard qualifications across a wide range of tournaments: the winner of Dreamhack gets a spot, the winner of GSL4 gets a spot, the winner of IPL4 gets a spot, etc.

I'm not a fan of the segregation of brackets between Kespa and GSL players... the second Kespa players catch up this type of segregated bracketing will disapear, and should the GSL players fall behind, theres not a snowballs chance in hell that the SC2 scene will cater to the GSL players by giving them seperate bracketing... It all seems very biased, everyone is trying so hard to protect Kespas interests. I guess it's necessary though, we do need Kespa to successfully integrate into SC2 to bring over the BW viewerbase..


One group has a few weeks of full sc2 practice, the other has 2+ years. I think it's fair; if the GSL players fall behind it's due to lack of skill, not starting 2 years behind the other group of players.

GSL winners 1-5 get a spot
Winner of final MLG event gets a spot (on the scale of providence)
Winner of final IPL event gets a spot (assuming each IPL event gets bigger)
winner of final dreamhack gets a spot (assuming each DH event gets bigger)
MVP of winning team in SPL and GSTL and IPLTAC get a spot

etc etc

that would be awesome~

Let's not get too ahead of ourselves guys. Remember, because of wcs korea, gom is going to be down a month when it comes to casting sc2. I would be surprised to see them finish a fifth gsl season by the end of the year at the pace they are going. =/ Honestly, it doesn't bother me too much either, longer tournaments = bigger buildup = not crap finals. XD

August - WCS Korea
End of August/September/October - GSL S4
End of October/November/December - GSL 5
End of December/Beggining of January - Blizzard Cup

Probably something like that.
