The second qualifier for WCS Europe Season 2 added four more players to the roster for the upcoming Challenger League.
 Liquid`MaNa, VERDI, Ai.Patience, and Ai.Krr had previously advanced from Quailfier #1.
One more European qualifier remains, which will award four more Challenger League spots. A Ladder Wildcard qualifier with no region restriction also remains, where the final four Challenger League spots will be on the line.
The sixteen players from the Challenger League qualifiers will face off against the bottom sixteen players eliminated from the Season 1 Premier League in a series of best of fives. The winners will qualify for the Season 2 Premier League, while the losers will be forced to start over in the qualifiers.

Stephano is back! Crazy how he can just retire and come out of nowhere and qualify. Hopefully he will take Challenger seriously.
Also grats to Golden, First, and Elfi!

I dunno what to say about Stephano making it.
A part of me is impressed, and the other is mad.
|
Rumours of Stephano's retirement seem to have been greatly exaggerated.
|
Stephano is a monster. Gratz to elfi, Golden and First.
|
Just gonna throw this out now: We will all know whether Naniwa is playing or not within the next 48 hours.
Reason? Thursday is the Ladder Wildcard, and if Naniwa is not participating, they will need to qualify an additional player for it. There's no way ESL will let him just string them along through Challenger and then not show up.

LOL stephano still got it.
So is naniwa back or still on break?

Form is fleeting, class is eternal.

So I guess the status of Naniwa is still in doubt? Ah well. Congrats to everyone who made it. Lol Golden, if at first you don't succeed, yolo through the next qualifier. Also Stephano is surprising. Retirement my ass lol.
|
Stephano: better in retirement than most are in on the height of their active careers.
|
How many ''retired'' players qualified? 3?
|

|

Stephano is so goddamn good for barely playing. He said he is on break for holiday and just started playing again yesterday.

Stephano is still on EG. Like how Sheth was still on Liquid even though he wasn't playing for awhile. Certain players are more like family with their teams than just being a source of income and sponsorship.
