The third qualifier for WCS Europe Season 2 added four more players to the roster for the upcoming Challenger League.
 Liquid`MaNa, VERDI, Ai.Patience, Ai.Krr,  Ai.Golden, First, Vega.elfi, and EG.Stephano had previously advanced from qualifiers #1 and #2.
All three European qualifiers have concluded, leaving only the Ladder Wildcard qualifier to be played. As a qualifier with no region or residency restrictions, the Ladder Wildcard will award the final four Challenger League spots. The wildcard qualifier will be played on April 24.
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.

uThermal vs Lilbow make it happen ESL

uThermal has always been BM.

Someone might come in later asking for vods. If so don't give ToD vs GungFuBanda. Not cool.

mh reading ur post made me think there was some intense bm going on but apparently the deciding match was a 1h+ tempest tempest game
must be so disappointing to lose 2-1 in the deciding match in such a manner :>

Glad to see all 4 players qualify
|
ToD still hanging in and Demuslim coming through as well!
Hoping for a really fun challenger/premier league this season!
|
Yeah 3 terrans, im happy that Demu and Yoda qualify :D
Let show the terran power guys :D
|
|
|
..I left during game 2 of Tod's series because it looked unwinnable and I didn't want to see him make a snarky remark before he left. Well what the hell do I know.
In other news, the koreans are coming.
|
Cool players qualifying, good to see Yoda get through. Was afraid he'd be retiring
|
Poor HeRoMaRinE, he reached semifinals, semifinals and finals... so close. Happy though for ToD and DeMusLiM, carrying the WC3 human flag ^^
|
|
|
Are all those Koreans really living in Europe right now?

Wow surprising! Go Le ToD!
|
Haven't seen much of yoda in a while, glad to see him make it.

The reason uThermal qualified was because he pretended to retire the last time he got knocked out of WCS so he got the Choya/hyvaa/Verdi/Stephano/Nony buff
|
United States23455 Posts
Also all the bounty hunters have got in.
|
|
|
Was really hoping for Serral and Dimaga to make it through, but there's still another chance I guess...
Either way, really cool for ToD to finally make it back to Challenger!
|
Pleasantly surprised that DeMusliM might actually get some results now ^^
|
Le ToD!
Nice to see him qualify, looking forward to seeing him cast and play
|
If TOD is playing in the WCS stage, who will do the analysing?

...MC?
4 big head > 3 big head
In all seriousness, I think he'll still be analyzing most of the time, they can probably just get someone else for when he DOES play.

so.... since when did yoda and first get residency in europe?
|
Just realized all but 2 EG guys are in WCS something. Is that the highest participation rate? :o

lol, i love how people care so much and have to ask this about the korean participants. like really? are we so offended by the korean presence that we all have to play nosy internet detective about their visas? i'm pretty sure ESL probably has their shit together on verifying these things.

JonnyREcco went finals, semi, semi as well. bummer for both of them!

We sympathize with Heromarine and JonnyRecco today, but tomorrow, they very well may both qualify. The only Koreans left to play the Wildcard, AFAIK, are Patience and Revenge. And even if THEY both qualify, there are 4 (probably 5) spots to be won tomorrow.

Patience is already in, so yeah I'm pretty sure it's just Revenge left. Then again it's the ladder wildcard and I'm not sure if there are other Koreans planning a switch to EU who have been laddering a lot on EU

Looking at last season's list of Koreans in the Ladder Wildcard, we had First (now qualified), Yoda (qualified), Patience (qualified), Tails (Code S), Revenge, and Dragon. Also, the only Korean from EU that was knocked out was Daisy, who hopped regions over to play in the American qualifier, so he can't play in this one. I'm looking through the Aigulac South Korean Rankings, and about a hundred players deep, I can't find anyone else who isn't qualified in some region that hasn't played in a qualifier this season for either America or Korea.

Anyone knows something about Tzain? i saw he participated but did not see him even in the final brackets, is he still playing sc2 or he is just casual?

He announced quite a while ago that he'd be focusing more on his education, he'll still play when he has the chance but won't be as dedicated to SC2 as before.

Yey for le ToD and Terrans. Hope Dimaga qualifies from ladder wildcard, sad to see WCS without him.
|
What is up with Dayshi? I don't see him in the names.

He made top 16 in premier in season 1 so he kept his spot. This is just for Challenger

Happy that YoDa and First finally made it, its always so sad when you see good players from respectable Korean teams not getting picked up. Hopefully this will help their cause now. Really happy for DeMusliM as well, nice to see the devil terran still fighting.
|
SO sad for hero, he would have beaten everyone in this round expect yoda 
|
|
|
|
|
Forever Yoda haven't I seen.
So no casting/analising for Le'ToD for a while? GL to him
|
Kinda glad to see ToD succeed. GL Yoan!

Isn't there something in the WCS handbook about gross BM or something like that? or am I just hoping in memory?

If he plays he doesn't cast or analyze until he is knocked out, the same as last years WCS. Its kind of a huge conflict of interest. They could change it, but I doubt it.

So they have it, but just never enforce it. Sounds like any other organization.

I follow the SC2 scene somewhat closely and don't recall ever seeing uThermal's name pop up, but a lot of people here know things about him. What did I miss? >.>
