So cool, hopefully this ends up being akin to Courage tourneys or a way to establish a rookie draft for Kespa teams. SC2KR still growing!
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

Rookie appears to mean no appearances in WCS, GSL, NSSL, SPL, or GSTL in the last 2 years. Though translation is rough at best

I remember seeing some kind of Amateur KeSPA Clan League last year as well.

Still good news though, also if it gains popularity here there might be an english stream some day I hope.
I wasn't sure if it is super relevant, which is why I only posted it on Reddit and not on TL, I'll do both next time I guess. Luckily these press announcements are so easy that even my bad korean skills are enough to read them.

I wonder if that means we'll see some of the old-school players in this. Like oGs TOP has been streaming lately and I don't think he's participated in anything of note. Maybe we'll see InCa cheese the hell out of some people. But for such a low prize I doubt many would put any time if they don't actively play and want to continue a progamer career.

I think Top (and maybe couple other old faces who are ocasionally streaming) were all participating in WCS last 2 years, as in they failed to qualify but were signed up for qualifiers.

Great to see new Korean players soon! even though the prize money is a bit weak for a whole month, if I calculated correctly...
But with the LotV beta coming out, there will be a lot more motivation to start off with sc2 again

Ahh that makes more sense. When I tried to Google translate the original article, it said the maps were Blooming Garden, Catallena and Distress Not. I was hyped for new maps

Blooming Garden and Distress Not are sick map names though.

Does it mean that "rookies" may obtain a pro-player status through this tournament in one way or another ?

Great news anyway.
SC2 is the best game to watch and was the best to play before I grew old and slow...
