Even the ESF guys? And even the Liquid and Axiom guys?


WCG is still fairly prestigious in Korea I guess?

It gives eSport medals...of course it's prestigious, just like that martial arts stuff...

Hopefully HerO can claw back some of the WCS points he lost with his NA exit.

If IEM aren't doing a tournament based entirely on qualifiers, I suppose WCS points is the next best thing. After all that was one of the points of implementing the system wasn't it?

that is exactly what happened


if this was the case why didnt innovation play the qualifiers instead of accepting an invitation (besides later on giving up his spot).

knew the question of how they chose players would come up. sounds like a generic bullshit answer from iem. so many players wouldve jumped on the invitation if it were true

It will be a fun event but I am starting to wish we had more teams willing to travel, having EG/TL players at every event and rarely getting to see so many other top players does start to get a bit boring. I guess it's more WCS's fault for giving points to every tournament.

Hopefully the open bracket is nicely full of top Koreans!

Is there a better way to confirm? i can't find anything on wcg website or liquidpedia on korean wcg qualifiers this early in the year. Especially since grand final always in late December. Also is this why innovation dropped out after he did the IEM qualifier and got a paid trip?

Korean WCG qualifier has always taken place in August and September. It doesnt take an investigation to confirm

HyuN becoming the new MC recently by attending every tournament possible. After MLG and DreamHack he goes on to participate in IEM and ASUS ROG, and with the amount of WCS points he is accumulating, even a decent showing at IEM will probably secure his spot in the Ro16 despite never playing in any Premier league region-locked tournament.

Groups are balanced and don't have any major favorites if there are more than two Koreans in each group. Looking forward to this tournament for sure this weekend.

Meh player pool, funny thing is, it feels like the 4 recently announced players could just place top 4 XD

The only two other players I can see doing good are Polt and HyuN, the three noted open bracket players are doing terrible in HotS. :/

I just dont see the reason that they had by inviting the first 4 going down the WCS points list since it seems like so many declined. Once you reach rank 20, which I think is what Jaedong is, then you have a problem.

It'll also be interesting to see the Chinese open bracket, since this is the only big international tournament that has had one in SC2. We might see some Chinese pros make it out, like XY and Jim (who, if he is there, will surely make it out). Also to excited to see Taiwanese players there, hopefully Slam and Sen are there!
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.
