The WCS Korea Challenger league continues in a combination of on/off air matches in the second round, the Ro32. The winners in this round advaced to the final Ro24, where the winners win Code S seeds. The Ro32 losers still have second chances in the up/down matches.

Anyone know if MKP gets in Code S this season, if he receives the NesTea Award? Either way, I really hope he gets back into Code S. It's just not the same without MKP

OT: MKP is back? :D
He had some close calls but his play definitely looked better as the games went on. Games 2 and 3 he showed some much better decision making and micro than he has in the recent past. I would say it's too soon to say he's "back" and we should wait and see if he can beat Bbyong.

Yes he is still on track to get Nestea Award since the current season is OSL not GSL.

dont remember exactly, but i read that TRUE had some problems with his parents. I guess after coach-talkings-to-parents and T8 getting sponsors they found a solution for both sides

Why don't u just look him up in TLPD? You might find that he hasn't really done that much....EXCEPT WIN A GSL....

he won a GSL against Leenock then slipped off the map. The games were amazing and considered to be one of the best GSL finals to date.
Nice to see Jangbi make it to the RO24 and interesting about true not retiring anymore.

MKP played the best I've seen him play in a very long time, I think he is very close to being back. Hopefully these recent wins have given him a confidence boost. True probably wanted to come back after that horrendous final match against Bisu.

This is a sad day for Aiur
They dominate team leagues. Aiur is still very happy.
I would really like to see a Protoss win GSL though. It's been 14 seasons since the last time a Protoss won a final that wasn't a mirror, and Seed never really carried on from his win anyway. I guess Rain winning OSL counts for something, but it didn't feel like a comparatively huge deal at the time.

Sheesh, one would think there were so many (especially terrible!) ones to pick from that you are right!
Oh wait a second, there were not.
And last time I checked DH finals between Naniwa and Leenock were pretty badass.
So was Genius vs. DRG at the time to have a GSL example. When will people learn that it's not about race but about the quality of the players?
