I think OP currently has the wrong half from Premier listed, it's 32nd-17th that play Challenger, not top 16

wcs doesn't promote racial diversity

I am surprised that Golden, First, Yoda and Patience played in the European Qualifier. Are there no region lock for Europe qualifier or are those players actually living in Europe? I was thinking at least for Yoda and First that they were still living in Korea, but I might have outdated information.
Great to see Mana back in WCS, I hope that MarineLorD can finally make it this time!

Yoda and First are living in the GEM House in Europe now, together with MC and HyuN afair.

And Patience is living in Ai house in Duisburg, not in Korea as well.
Finally kid qualifies! <3

Congrats to everyone that qualified. Curious to see what will happen to Nani's spot since they haven't mentioned allowing another qualifier yet. I guess that means there's still no definitive move to leave by him yet.

He hadn't confirmed anything yet.

that race diversity! :o ^^

I am sad for Alastor, Mana didn't deserve to win, Alastor literally ate Mana's brain in game one but Mana's colossi were enough to eat Alastor's army apparently.

To celebrate Verdi coming out of retirement to qualify for WCS Challenger, I will come out of my posting retirement to post this comment.
|
Cant say I knew Krr played this game. Kinda cool to see !
|
Grats to MaNa! Huge fan and hope to see him qualify for premier under the Liquid` flag.
Also been a fan of Patience since his deep run a few months back. One of the Koreans I really enjoy to watch playing, so grats to him, as well.

TT Golden :/ Surprised Yoda and First didn't make it through, but more chances are coming

I thought Verdi switched to Terran?
|
We need Welmu to cast WCS so we can hear how sexy Krr sounds in finnish 
|

|
So Verdi isn't really retired?

Well done, sir. Well done.
I really hope First can qualify this season.. I'm really curious how he is playing lately since he hasn't been around in any tournaments or anything else recently and last I remember is him being a friggin' beast macro toss who could also throw in some sneaky plays every once in awhile. I'll never forget that epic game against Rain on Akilon Wastes, literally solidified the Zealot harass to keep opponents zealot count high while remaking that supply into Archon's before the maxed out Colossus/Immortal/Archon battles in PvP. Brilliant play that basically everyone uses now in the matchup, and Rain as good as he was just couldn't deal with it. <3 First and hope he makes it! Losing to Patience in the final series isn't bad so hopefully he can get back and win this time! :D

Congrats Mana, but really just as expected. He belongs in Premiere, nowhere else.

I uh uh uh uh uh uh Verdi uh I thought he uh re uh tired uh but I cannot find the news anymore

He retired then said just because he was retiring didn't mean he wasn't going to keep playing / streaming on occasion, just that his focus would be on his studies. I guess he decided to go the the qualifers and made it?
|
Oh thats awesome, let's see how far he can get :D
Thanks !

This is some great news! I never thought that a fellow Lithuanian would make it through the qualification! I'm so hyped!!! Hope Krr has a good run!!!
Krr kovojam!!! :D

Lithuania / Korea / Polish / Russia. You gotta love EU for that. No full korean BS. Even if finals are koreans vs koreans most of the time. :p At least we can see great diversity of players! Good job guys .

Krr played really well too, most of the series wasn't really close at all.

Do only protoss deserve spots and tournaments? "Game is balanced", isn't it? David Kim please!

Just Europe being Europe. When the game came out the world got divided and each race was given a region. Korea was handed to Terran, Zerg got the Americas and the proud Protoss ruled Europe. Legend has it that there was a fourth region that was so scarce that only the roughest Zerg savages could inhabit it.

Yes, I have watched all 3 final ZvPs as well as almost all CIS players games. Intense games with blunders from both sides. For some reason protoss won all these deciders. Have you looked at Premier Tournaments 2014 statistic http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Premier_Tournaments ? Don't you think that there are too many protoss players there?

I am glad to see new talent from EU. I don't mean to offend anyone but I've never heard of Krr or Verdi.

Actually, both of those have been around for a very long time. Krr for atleast 5 years and Verdi atleast since 2010 iirc.

Krr is as old talent as it gets, TSL1 and TSL2 player :D

And here I thought Lithuanians could only play basketball. Looks like there's at least one guy over there keeping it real in SC2 as well. Though I do remember another player from there, Arew I think was the name. Played some BW back in the day. Anyhow, nice to see some actual europeans getting through into WCS EU, even if they are just on the way to the inevitable thrashing they're gonna get from the koreans.

4 protosses, what a surprise ! (This is a joke !)
|
|
|
Congrats to Mana for sure! Lots of Liquid in EU these days!
