WCS America wrapped up its Challenger League for Season 2, with lvD.Apocalypse, ST_Hack, EG.HuK, and coL.TheStC winning the final four spots in the Season 3 Premier League. Here are the final results from the group phase of the Challenger League.
Top two advance to Premier League. 3rd place remains in Challenger League. 4th place eliminated from Challenger League (must play in Challenger League prelims)
*Sound and theognis forfeited due to retirement, viOLet forfeited due to visa issues.
Overall the Challenger Season was a surprising success for players from the Americas. With a worst case scenario that could have seen as few as just three 'Americans' in the Season 3 Premier League, a total of eight players were able to qualify (not including Scarlett, who may forfeit her spot).
A handful of newcomers also made their way up from the Challenger League, with the Koreans HyuN, Hack, ByuL, and Arthur qualifying for their first WCS America Premier League.

She has a wrist injury, if I remember correctly and needs to take time off.
I really hope she doesn't forfeit. I'm going to season finals and was REALLY hoping I could catch some of her games there! Although I can understand why she would want to take some time off for her wrists to heal.
So unless Blizzard purposefully delays WCS AM Premier for a month, she won't be participating.
Well, WCS AM won't immediately start now (Probably 1-2 weeks from now) and between the first and the last groups there are normally about 2 weeks. So if Blizzard is actually flexible regarding the schedule, I don't think it's impossible for her to participate :-P

This is true. If they wait a week and go by the format of EU and KR, the last two groups would be at the beginning of October and Scarlett could play!
