what?? Zest, soO, Flash and sOs failed to advance?
feels like we're back in 2012 with MarineKing, YongHwa, Seed, Curious
I'm also so many former WCS EU players made it too like First, MMA, YoDa, MC, San, I thought all the WCS KR guys would eat them alive.

I know its not possible logistically to do these qualifiers with bo5 formats but jesus this is brutal.

Wow, delightfully fresh results! When will the groups be drawn?
Oh BaBy!

Startale also has three players in life, curious and hack right?
Yes, they do. Also, SKT obviously signed PenguiN immediately after he qualified so they can be the only team with four players. Love the diversity in teams and races, and the fact we have many of the old guard and the new!

More like a qualifier is unforgivable, subject to bracket luck and hardly indicates that some players are clearly above others in term of skill

Oh, those no-skill zergs!

Yep but when you look at who Zest and Flash lost to, it's kinda disapointing...

The hunt's already happened. An entire herd of elephants were slaughtered.

I want to watch that Maru or TY win this season.
And zerg is very bleak this season.
Zerg players did not qualify much in the two leagues. I think that this season and latest season maps are very hard as zerg player.
|
Both SSL and GSL without Zest or soO  . Still a great lineup though, going to be an exciting season!

FLASH W!!!! WHere r U!!?!?!?!
I make Flash year 2014 ...
Please Flash Year 2015 okay?

Let's see you say that once the season actually begins. This isn't broodwar where the KeSPA guys were basically untouchable. Anything can happen in SC2.

They are probably going through a slight slump. The fact that SSL and GSL qualifiers were held a few days apart didn't help, tbh.

Well yeah I'm not saying that this is Broodwar. But I seriously doubt people like Zest and soO are "overrated" because they lost two qualifiers held a few days apart, and are suddenly worse players than, say, Terminator or Panic. And Zest, soO, Flash, Bbyong and Stats were eliminated by KeSPA players.

Yeah, maybe I put it wrong. I guess the Koreans in NA/EU are underrated then? I mean TaeJa is a great proof of that, dude is a beast. soO is still the nr.1 zerg for me, of course. Life close 2nd.

No soO
Stoked about Fantasy and Life though :D
|
I think the takeaway from the surprising results of the SSL/GSL qualifiers is a good one: Korea still has a strong and highly competitive SC2 scene that has no certainties.
Except PartinG. PartinG is now in Code S for 3 years straight no matter what format or name changes, no matter if he has to requalify or not.
