It probably won't matter because if it's anything like normal GSL qualifiers they won't even be close to filling up

Way to post this when application period is almost over...

Do you actually have to be masters, or do they just get "priority" like in pre-WCS GSL qualifiers?

It's open to anyone masters and above globally. Its a tournament being held in Korea so why would the qualifier be on EU or NA server?

12 years old is the minimum age? 12 year olds shouldn't be allowed to be pro gamers.... People don't learn enough to live a professional life at such a young age o.o
Just my opinion... I know that kids like Life etc hit the scene when they were like 14-16, but imo 16 should be the minimum age. They still have high school to focus on.
Fitting into society should be important at that age, and high school is a big part in that. Being successful in GSL and getting a pro team at the age of 12 allows a high chance of disaster to occur in the kids future outside of SC2. (imo).

Maru was 12 when he debuted in GSL as far as I can remember. Maybe 13 but definitely not older than that

As long as they allow anyone globally it is a Global tournament. There should only be one set of qualifiers and it makes the most sense to host it on a server local to the venue.
Still don't see the issue.

The problem I see is that it will get more difficult for players in other regions to qualify since there's lag issues in the same way it's difficult for koreans to qualify for WCS EU.
I've gotten the feeling that they want to host the Global Tournament to get the best of the best to play in Korea, including players in other WCS regions. If that's what they want, a world class player like MC or jjakji will have a hard time qualifying if they play from EU.
It's obviously up to GOM how they want to do in their own tournament, but it wont be the "best of the best" players playing, just the best of the non-lag regions (which is close to all of the best!).
edit: Worth noting is that the players in other regions also can qualify via coming first or second in WCS, so there's a lag free option 
|
This is basically just the replacement for the season finals from last year's wcs.
Just smaller with less wcs points and open qualifiers because blizzard decided that wcs shouldnt be that dominant anymore and it shouldnt snowball that much anymore when you are successful in wcs.

What happens if they don't miraculously become #1 in the world players at some point in their careers though?
There's a higher chance someone will be a B teamer than an ace player.
When you've done Pro Gaming since 12 years old, you tend to not pick up other skills during a crucial time in your development.
Anyways, there are pros and cons to every situation, and freedom is good. Some people can become huge successes, but you don't hear about all of the failures that lead to people living harder lives than necessary.
Good for Maru and BaBy.

It's their life. Let them do what they want to. Who are you to tell them otherwise?

They are juniors. You don't get a life of you're own until you're an adult. Did you not learn that? It's literally society's decision, and not up to the kids.
In this case, if a kid screws up, the society he was raised in is to blame, as well as his parents.
Like I said, I'm all for freedom, but people shouldn't get ahead of themselves here... GSL gives them that freedom starting at 12, their parents give consent, and it's all good. That's fine, but if I were a parent, and I was really okay with having my kid as a pro gamer, I'd have him stay focused on school and train for games on the side.
12 years old is too young to enter a career in my opinion. A kid needs life skills to enter adulthood.
That's my opinion.

Twelve-year-old kids are twelve-year-old kids and not really fit to make that kind of decision. I think it's fine to let them play however, but team houses should probably have some kind of age-limit (maybe they do, I don't know) and teams should actively encourage such young players to not neglect their studies.

Could we not have this discussion that in threads where it's essentially irrelevant? Especially considering we've already had it like 500 times at least, all of which in threads not dedicated to it.
ffs if I hadn't seen your name around before I'd have thought you were a troll baiting for responses...

It is not society's decision it is their parents decision as their legal guardians.Society only lays down the law that kids need guardians to make the decisions for them until they reach maturity.

I don't think anyone knows but since it's being run by GSL there's a good chance it isn't

You guys are forgetting it's a 'global' tournament in the fact that they're inviting the top 2 players from WCS America and WCS Europe season 1 to compete.
And of course anyone can play in the qualifiers. It's just Koreans get the home-server advantage in quals compared to them playing with latency in a qualifier in Europe or America.

Is anybody covering this in any way? Live results from anyone or something?

He's playing Hydra next so I'd say he has a chance
 Choya first player in the semis rofl. oh wait not quite Ragnarok made it first. and on top of that some of the brackets are 1 round shorter so there are a couple of semifinalists already

If I had to guess I'd say Samsung
|
If Byul beats Sora I think he's through
|
|
|
Terror beating Keen isn't a big surprise - he's still Kespa. Slam beating Venus, now THAT'S a surprise.
|
|
|
Group E  Shine (who is now revised to losing to Parting) is MVP
Group G Shine is Samsung
The "MVPDream" that Fantasy beat is Monster (He also played under this ID in GSL qualifiers.)

Too bad Byul is also in the bracket :/

So, Impact has quietly made it to a Group Finals, clearing Seed and MKP in the process. His training is paying ridiculous dividends.
EDIT: Was it mentioned yet that Action beat Soulkey? Because Action beat Soulkey, and I think it's very important that we recognize that Action beat Soulkey.

im not saying they are NOT good, rogue and hydra are insanely good, i just get bored of people who just have no personality whatsoever. its not fun to watch. like even zest was a pretty boring winner. you won a fucking 4-3 grand finals and the increased prize pool of 70k and you barely show any kind of emotion. yes i know theres like one image of him holding a smirk for like 2 seconds. its hard to root for people like that. like there is a REASON why soO, who has reached two GSL finals IN A ROW, has only 5 pages in his fan page

If I won GSL I would cry, get so drunk and probably end up streaking and getting arrested. That is how you celebrate winning a GSL IMO

In ZvZ and ZvT he's doing very well but idk how his ZvP is. He struggled in his Proleague ZvPs

First round (round of... 10) is a 2 group 5 man round robin for the 10 people who qualified. 1st place makes it to the next round.
Second round is 2 group 4 man GSL style group containing the 6 Top 2s of each region + 2 from the previous round
then Ro4 brackets

Sorry I do not. But as you make edits you earn coins on your profile. You eventually get to a silver coin and that's when you get it I believe. It takes some time
