– (P)StarDust, (P)BlinG, (Z)Starbuck and (Z)AlaStOr qualify for WCS Europe Challenger League

– (P)Arthur, (T)Hack, (T)Sound and (Z)HyuN qualify for WCS America Challenger League


The first half of the Challenger League qualifiers for WCS America and Europe have concluded, with four players qualifying for each region so far. Europe saw two familiar names in DH champion Stardust and Britain's Bling top the first qualifier, while qualifier #2 ended in upsets as Alastor and Starbuck advanced, defeating NightEnD and Genius respectively in their final matches.

In the American region, Korean domination continued to be the main story as Arthur, Hack, HyuN, and Sound took the first four qualifying spots. While non-Korean players like Xigua, Comm, and LsEbA managed to make it to the final eight, none of them were able to reach the semi-final round of the qualifier tournaments.

Four more Challenger spots remain for each region.

WCS EU seems pretty well set up, mainly EU players and has fresh new European players popping in through the qualis and at least StarDust lives in EU too. Wish the same could be said about WCS NA!

EU's wall of lag holds!
It is probably that less Koreans tried EU numerically and quality as well but there is no denying that the wall of lag is a significant factor.
Hopefully we will see a foreigner come out of the NA qualifiers, but I strongly doubt it.

title says: "Anime New: the best anime-series for free!"

I wonder if high school of the dead is really one of the best series ... I havent watched every series displayed (I cant even name some of them).

I marked 1 Pic red as I wanted to ask what anime that is, it seems so familiar but i cant put my finger on it ...


you should ask in the anime discussion thread


LOL, how the f*** did it end up here ;D im sry im gonna nuke it.

Good to see another Spanish in the WCS Europe. Go AlaStOr!!
I should warn you, getting what you want and being happy are two quite different things.

I know you nuked it, but I figured I'd just give you the answer anyway. It was Last Exile, anime from 2003, hence why it was probably very familar

Is it just me, or is the WCS AM qualifier now at least as scary as the WCS KOR qualifier? And Europe fighting! Two more qualifiers to go! :D

Wow you are bitter. While its not the best of the best or worse Koreans than the ones participating in NA , check out who they lost to. Its not like CPU, Chatorsws, Avekatten, Melle or Dizdemon are flagships of the European server.

I wonder if the koreans use VPN to connect to EU? I have used this technology quite a bit and it should be able to smooth out latency, a top class business isp with guaranteed packet delivery will may be reduce lag by 100ms

Bitter? I'm more than positive about Koreans winning spots in WCS NA.
Also, you made my point. They lost to players that they should take easily in offline events.

Not saying this isn't the case, but there is a clear difference in latency from Korea to America and Korea to Europe.
