I'm looking forward to the obligatory lone Startale player to make it through.

Scarlett, Artosis, cArn, Whiplash, HuK and MajOr will probably be the foreigners trying to qualify.

If ThorZaIN, DeMusliM, SaSe or NaNiwa are around they'll probably try too, but I don't think they'll be in Korea.

MAYBE SLoG, but I think he might have retired. LastShadow is back to playing a bit of SC2, but I highly doubt he'll try to qualify.

That would be awesome both for GSL (and foreigner/korean fans) if all mentioned would give it a shot (and even better if some of them qualified + Show Spoiler +

Does this mean that someone in gold can apply if they get there first and there is room after the masters players all are accounted for?

I wouldn't mind flying to Korea and cheesing a few matches lol

Yup, it's right there in black and white, anyone can participate (and the brackets are never close to full)... I always wonder why more randoms and fans don't sign up, you might be able to play a Korean pro in a tournament, how many people can say that? Especially because there are so few open brackets left, and I'm pretty sure these qualifiers are free...

To be honest I imagine all 576 slots get filled by ESF/Kespa + other random masters players.

Haha while a gold player could even if they cheesed they'd still get 2-0'd easy

Pretty sure any gold could play. These things never fill up and there are always tons of byes in the early rounds.

Not even close. Usually they're not even half full. There are only 14 teams in both orgs combined, and not that many randoms sign up, so...

EDIT: 576 slots is 32 per bracket, and in at least the last couple of GSLs there haven't been more than 16 players per bracket: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2013_Global_StarCraft_II_League_Season_1/Preliminaries

So by all means, sign up! I totally would if I was in Korea, and I'm silver league...
