After the 2016 WCS Circuit: Shanghai Tournament ends on March 26th, we would start the All-Stars Challenger Match on March 27th.
Full list of Korean players have been announced.
Player List:
Korean All-Stars :  ByuN,  Stork DRG, ByuL TY Dear
International All- Stars : Top 4 players of WCS Shanghai + 2 revived players who have been voted in.
Vote is conducted here: http://gold.blizzard.cn/minisite/allstar , however you need to have a bnet china account and to register for one, you need a chinese identification no. , so limited to chinese citizens.
So far, the most popular players besides the chinese are, Scarlett and Snute, who actually have more votes than some of the chinese players.
Format of the All-Stars Challenger Match is as follows:
1. International All-Stars will be competing against the Korean All-Stars. Each team will comprise of 6 players.
2. The teams will be competing on 6 maps. There will be 4 BO1 played on each and every map for a total of 24 BO1.
3. Every player will play 4 games. They can be sent out on the same map but the whole team of 6 players have to finish 24 games.
Prize Money:
1. The Winner of every BO1 will win $500 USD.
2. So there is a total prizepool of $12000 USD.

Byun isn't surprising considering he's on a Chinese team. Guessing PartinG will join them if he signs for ZoO. Going to be tough to get names though with the Proleague Round 1 final scheduled for the day before

Hey I like that format, I hope we get some top kespa, and not just the traditional, Hyun, MC, Taeja, Parting, Jaedong. I don't know if it would be possible with pro-league going on but it would be nice.

I think it's better to have MC, taeja, parting etc because they don't have anything to play in except gsl/ssl.
Kespa players still have proleague

It looks like a great idea and I am looking forward to that but it still makes me kind of mad that all players have to be there so early and leave so late because pretty much everyone stays 1 day longer just so 4 players can play this all-stars. Meh ;p
Tournament is 21-26 and my travel is 18-28 TT

Well, they released the date/info in the original announcement so shouldn't have been a surprise:

This is a pretty great format!!!! I expected one BO7 and instead, there will be 24 matches! And even if it does not involve the best players, BuyN is enough so far for me, I will be happy with Stork as well and will hope, they manage to get someone from the teams, who will not play Proleague on the previous day. As it looks in the moment, e.g. Jin Air will not get into the play off, so they might have time :-)

Don't worry Nerchio, they wrote "International All- Stars : Top 4 players of WCS Shanghai + 2 revived players who have been voted in." and nobody will be voting for you ...
