 SKT_PartinG,  Quantic.HyuN, and Acer.Scarlett made their way through the qualifiers to earn spots at Red Bull Battle Grounds: New York (Nov 23-24).
Scarlett won her spot through the North American Qualifier, triumphing over qxc, HuK, and ViBE in the final four.
HyuN advanced through a stacked Global Qualifier, defeating Symbol, Sora, and Bong in the final, four-man bracket.
Finally, PartinG earned his spot by winning the TLMC qualifier, defeating players like Bunny, jjakji, aLive, herO[join], and San.
The three players will join MC, Bomber, Golden, and Snute at Battle Grounds, who were invited to the tournament due to their success at previous Red Bull events. The eighth and final spot will go to the winner of the upcoming WCS Grand Finals.

Sad about Sora's elimination, but all three players will make it a great tournament nonetheless

Good guy Innovation forfeiting his spot so he can help his GSTL team out
|
All good players advancing, that's nice to see.
|
Cool one confirmed Terran... Blizzcon will be like Easter, birthday and Christmas together!
|

Grats to the qualified players. This tournament should be a lot of fun. I see Alive beat Rain in the qualifier, not bad.

why no euro quali ?
NA got a qualifier because it is specifically targeted towards the NA audience. EU got not qualifier out of the same reason why KOR got no separate qualifier. I don't think that many Europeans will be able to follow the whole event anyways due to timezone reasons.

Pretty stacked bracket, and not even all Koreans!

Congrats to the players that qualified! Also impressed that ViBE was able to go 3-4 vs Scarlett. He must be improving considering the last time they faced. Sounds like NA might be improving some!
|
Man this tourney is so concentrated it will be entertaining for sure
|
Let the best player win. Red Bull Battle Grounds is looking good.
|
Parting is a *** beast holy ***

Sucks that no Terran made it through as there's only one in there at the moment. And I'm sad Huk and Alive couldn't make it through. Still, looks like it'll be a good tournament.

Oh, this is the secret 8th spot that couldn't be revealed earlier today? Ok then.
Except what happens if one of the already invited players wins Blizzcon. MC or Bomber, for example?

They will, presumably, invite the 2nd place finisher. If two already attending players reach the finals, I suppose they'll pick a runner-up from one of the qualifiers.
