Yeah it's a huge relief, I only wish the winner of this would get an invite to Blizzcon.

It's good that they don't. Stuff like that only punishes people who were consistent throughout the year but didn't actually win a tournament, especially because it's a very late announcement.

Seems only fair to me, but I can respect that argument.

Btw what except for Neebs recent run in the Olimo Cup makes people think that foreigners will be able to beat Koreans? I do not mean any offense, but when there is 8 people going through KR only qualifiers + herO, Maru, Zest and Stats the only chance i see for the foreigners is Zest going for a cannon rush lol


Is that the same Olimoleague that Neeb was manhandled by Byun?



No sadly ByuN lost in the semi Finals to Reality :-/

Imagine the hype if Neeb makes it kinda deep into the tournament, or at least doesn't die in the first round


nope, not gonna happen

all foreigners will clearly be practicing for the Blizzcon and refuse to show good games

Suppose a Korean player qualifies as a result of this tournament, will one month be enough time to obtain a visa for Blizzcon?

Korea is involved with the visa waiver program. You can get one immediately with a phone call at the airport basically.

Maybe the qualified players get "invited", as in having their travel cost paid for? Might just be a translation thing.
It's a Blizzard rules thing:

  • In addition to the required Global Qualifiers, WCS partners may invite additional players at their discretion
  • Any player in the tournament that did not qualify through a Global Qualifier will be considered an invitee
  • Invitees may not be seeded into the Top 8 and will only earn points after advancing a round
They're not from the global qualifier, so they're technically invitees. But Kespa may use any criteria to choose who they invite, including an open, region-restricted tournament. Until we hear more, we can't say anything for sure, but "Seed Challenge" sounds somewhat promising.

Holy shit, best tournament of 2016 apart from Blizzcon?

I hope some foreigners can make a good showing at least (as in don't get destroyed in the first two rounds).

And Korea doing the first global event is downright ironic. The fact that the first (and most likely last, apart from Blizzcon) such event is held at the end of the year is very telling.

Nice more korean starcraft to watch is always a good thing. Having foreigners there should be fun as well, Apollo was right we actually get a global event.
Apollo for president!
