Bunny, whose best result up to to now is third in WCS Denmark, came out of nowhere to grab a WCS Premier League spot. Beating notable Protoss opponents such as WhiteRa, Welmu and even the Korean MVP player finale and showing off an innovative hellbat-drop-heavy mech TvP style in the process, he is certainly one to watch in the coming months.
The other player to qualify was feast, who was unable to play in WCS in 2012 due to school. He defeated foes such as Naama, Targa and South African Protoss PandaTank in the process of qualifying. While feast has always been at the fringes of making a breakthrough, WCS EU could be the opportunity he needs to really show off his true potential.
A really good qualifier, Feast earning his win after coming so close yesterday and Bunny been the great underdog story so far. How long do you think before people start saying it's only because of lag/timezone fatigue/three BO1 rounds?
I do feel quite bad for PandaTank, would of been great to have two complete underdogs qualify on the same day.

I don't think people will attribute that to these qualifiers, except maybe lag for the koreans. But even then, I don't think people feel bad for them, since they decided to compete here probably expecting easy points/spots/money/etc.

I'm starting to get excited at the realisation of EU (and NA) having a GSL equivalent. Not the actual skill level of course, but a long-running league with a Premier (code S) and Challenger (code A) divisions.

I'm ready to get my ticket for the bunny hype train. Going mech vP in his game vs. a very good korean in the game that determined his spot was really badass. I prefer bio but i respect M(ech)vPers. Bunny to win WCS Europe!!!!!!!
No Korean so far. Also, not alot of them even try to enter. Looks way better than I expected it to at this point. Also, congratulation Bunny and Feast! GJ!
