 Empire.Siw and  cShuttle qualify for WCS EU Premier League!
The final qualifier has ended. With so many strong players fighting for those coveted 2 spots, it was inevitable that there would be heartbreak. But for Siw and Shuttle, it would be triumphant.
Siw was an old school former Empire player come again. After being out of the scene for months, Empire gave him one more chance for old time's sake and recruited the Russian player. Siw was able to repay that faith and qualified while beating Nightend, Xigua, Welmu, and Xlord.
On the other side of the bracket was the Korean Terran player from Clarity Gaming, Shuttle, who currently resides in the Clarity Gaming house in New York. While not having any of the name power of the other Koreans in the bracket, he was able to outlast finale and take out Tails on his way to qualifying. He beat a few other notables in Harstem and Targa along the way ensuring his spot in WCS EU and becoming the 4th member of team Korea in the WCS EU. Shuttle remains the only Korean to qualify for the WCS EU Premier league.
After 4 long qualifiers, we have our final 8 participants of Season 1 of WCS EU Premier league in 2013.
For the full roster of those who will be competing in the Season 1 Premier league, see Liquipedia.

I dunno if you are being sarcastic but I actually am very surprised O_O. Foreign zergs still seemed to be doing well vs other foreign players but it seems EU at least their terrans have figured it out and tosses.

They are all already invited. Remember, only 3 EU terrans were invited, so a lot of good one where left behind, that's why  .

sad for no PandaTank but grats to Siw and Shuttle

Dude Mentalking had been doing SO many Playhem and daily/weekly tournaments, and I am glad that he was the only Korean to make it through the qualifiers. Gives him some spotlight! Now the Premier League EU will be quite close to evenly represented across the board, both race wise and nationality wise.
As for the rest that qualified this week, I believe that one of the Terrans will be the strongest going into the main tournament. Strelok's TvP was absolutely devastating, using mech so god damn well and just crushing everyone. I see him and Feast doing well here!!
Can't wait until groups are announced so we can see how it might play out!

suprise suprise ^^ I am pretty surprised. I would have thought at least a few would qualify.
Actually, there are 11 protoss, 8 terrans and 9 zergs from Europe :p

Most of these guys are pretty small-time, what happened to all of the top players? Is there a lot of seeding going on? No offense to these guys, they definitely accomplished a lot, but I know we have some real monsters in Europe that should have crapped on the competition in these qualifiers.

so refreshing to see good EU terrans again
