Edit: Btw the qualifier is global, but for some reasone it's on the KR server instead of the NA server where EU players could also try. | ||

Well it's basically a WCS Korea event, open in the same way as GSL and SSL are open. But still meant for Korean players (as Apollo confirmed on reddit). | ||

I'm not trying to be picky here but they are not the same. GSL and SSL are months-long event. You have to be physically in Korea to play. IEM has open ONLINE qualifiers for everyone to play. If you qualify, then you get the tickets to fly to Shanghai and play for like 4 days (weekend). That is it. How is that the same as GSL and SSL? It is more like Super Tournament. | ||

It is more like Super Tournament. Even if it's not the same as GSL/SSL it is the same as IEM Gyeonggi which was a WCS Korea event. I'm just repeating what Apollo said. https://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/6e89td/iem_xii_shanghai_on_july_2730_announced/di8hzhv/ The event is targeted for WCS Korea, in a very similar capacity to IEM Gyeonggi last year. Similar to the GSL/SSL, qualification is always open to all players who want to compete. I am not saying I'm not happy about another WCS Korea event, I am super happy. But let's not pretend it's a global event | ||

But let's not pretend it's a global event I see. Thanks for the info. Open qualifier + no visa/physically present requirement. That is global even to me. It does sound like IEM Gyeonggi as Apollo said. | ||
