Forgive my ignorance as I haven't followed SC in a very very long time. How come some of the top players like Life and Maru are not included in this tournament? Sorry for the stupid question. Thanks!


There was only 2 spot for the corean in the qualifier witch INno an SoO took and most kespa team won't paid to send their player and sometime won't even allow them to play in qualifier since it clash with pro league which is where the team make most of their money

I see thanks. So is IEM not that big of a deal actually? Obviously players make time for GSL/S2SL.

Life, Maru and a few others are also already confirmed to have a spot at Blizzcon so that just makes it slightly less attractive to attend a lot of tournaments.

You could say the same for Rain, who is also locked for Blizzcon


Besides the schedule issues:
Maru and Life are top earniers in Korea. Both are these kind of players who achieve a high salary. Even if they win IEM Cologne, the amount they win would be arround 2 monthly incomes. or less?
Also Rain plays on a foreign team which has certain interest to show its players sponsored by western companys in western events. Maru and Life a sponsored by korean sponsors. What do they gain from sending them?
Maru and Life also have to play in ProLeague, while Rain does not have to do it.

you could literally replace "maru and life" with "soo and innovation "and everything you said would sitll be true.

Doesn't look like Drogo's going to go for Foreign Hope 2: La Bougalou Électrique. Unless he wins his first PvP and then gets to go for a Zerg bracket with TLO and Ret.

Would be nice to see him take a game of soO tho!
