Well just asking to know if any current non Korean living in Korea right now? Last time I remember Elazer/ Neeb/ Scarlett and Major were at Seoul that time.

Last tournamant before blizzcon. Maru, Solar, sOs, ByuN, aLive, and Rogue are all gonna be fighting for a potential last place
Also, if Zest doesn't get out of the qualifiers dispite getting 4 of the top 6 ladder accounts I quit

He should be fine, so long as he doesn't run into any foreigners 
|
If Zest doesn't make it then his ladder play is literally worthless. It's nice that he plays well on ladder, but if you cannot do the same offline it doesn't mean anything.
I think he will qualify though

If he fails, Zest is the textbook example of a ladder hero.

Now the question is will GSL S3 champion and runner-up get seeded directly to this tournament or not.
|
|
|
Which is kind unfair. This tournament is right after GSL Season 3, not Season 2, they should either seed four best players or seed none.
|
Bumping because the info was updated with the map pool. Ascension to Aiur, Newkirk Precinct, Mech Depot.

Are they going to stream it?

GSL qualifiers are always offline, IEM qualifiers are always online. IEM taking place in korea / asia doesnt change that

Good examination to test his mental toughness.

KeSPAevryday is back bois. Get hype.

Elazer is in a group with Stats and herO. Namshar's has TY and Classic.
Rip foreigners.

Well, was he?
Meanwhile Solar has been waiting for what feels like an hour for his next opponent.

R.I.P TY
TIME PLZ China hope

|
Ragnarok back to 2016 form where he 2-0'ed Innovation before 3-1 ByuN in Starleague.
TY doesnt need the spot anyway.
|
So TY carelessly gave away 3rd place in the WCS standings. That means he's gonna end up in 4th, 5th or 6th, meaning his opening opponent at Blizzcon will be Nerchio, Snute or Serral. If it's Nerchio, he's also with Neeb and the 8th place from Korea (potentially sOs). If it's Snute, he's with Stats and SpeCial. And if it's Serral, he's with TRUE and INno.

So basically for WCS
- Stats, Inno, soO, Dark, TY, GuMiho and herO are confirmed for Blizzcon
- Stats is forever 1st
- Inno is forever 2nd
- soO and Dark fight for 3rd and 4th (with an outside chance of GuMiho taking either spot)
- TY will most likely be 5th (he can only drop if GuMiho makes it to the ST finals, but there is also a theoretical chance of him getting 4th)
- GuMiho will be 6th unless he makes it to the ST finals OR herO does
- herO will be 7th unless he (but not GuMiho) or sOs make the ST finals
- sOs will be 8th unless he (but not herO) makes ST finals; or goes out in the first round while aLive, Maru, Rogue or Classic makes finals
At this point, the most realistic Blizzcon groups are:
A)  Stats, SpeCial, TY, Snute
B) Dark, Nerchio, sOs, Neeb
C) soO, Kelazhur, herO, Elazer
D) INnoVation, TRUE, GuMiho, Serral

These groups sound pretty ok for the WCS players as a whole. Better than the average group they'd get. They mostly avoid their worst match-ups. Serral might be unhappy.

Serral has arrived yesterday to stay in BTTV house, or sth like that, so I think he has a chance at improving his ZvT in the month and half before Blizzcon. Still not anywhere near the best draw he could have gotten.

thanks for that recap

Why do you consider herO as qualified for blizzcon?
How about such a scenario: herO doesn't get to the RO8 in the ST, Maru wins the ST, and sOs is the runner up. It will put Maru 7th, sOs 8th, and herO will be 9th.
Not likely to happen, but it is still possible.
Edit:
sorry, Maru won't get ahead of herO, I didn't count the points he already have for qualifying.
herO is in Blizzcon.

I believe in my boy Maru (or Rogue) to win it all and qualify for Blizzcon,
That would be nice, but it would take away the BlizzCon victory from sOs.

It can still change, Dark and soO can switch places.
I think Neeb is happy, Elazer is fine, but for the rest of the foreigners its not great at all. In Serral's group he gets 2 terrans, which is bad for him. Snute gets TY and Stats, Snute's ZvT is good but he relies on the late game, something TY is fine with among the Terrans, and Stats will win Snute the same way Neeb did. Nerchio isn't happy at all with 2 protoss players in his group. I guess he is more afraid of Neeb then sOs. Kelazhur may be have a chance vs herO if they get to play, but he starts with innovation, something he is not happy with. And finally major is with Stats and TY in his group, a practice partner and the players he is inspired by. I think he is not happy at all.
Among the koreans, I think Stats and TY aren't happy being in the same group (they weren't happy about it in the IEM, even though they both made it to the finals). I guess they hope Gumiho bypass TY, or Dark doesn't get another point so that TY can get ahead of him in a decider.

Time - Inno surprising nobody lol. Yeah pretty much best possible run for sOs.
|
Really?? Maru vs Rogue first match? wtf...
|
Inno probably loses to Classic in the ro 8
|
Since Artosis didn't know the answer either: last year the tie breaker between viOlet and Elazer was a coin flip.

Once again the Blizzcon champion of the previous year won't be able to defend his title.
sOs has a pretty good bracket compared to the other contenders to the 8th spot.. Ryung is more than doable for him, especially after taking 3 games from Innovation in GSL Finals, and then it's gonna be a PvP against Zest or herO.
Classic vs aLive and Maru vs Rogue in Ro16, so there's already 2 less contenders for that 8th spot, but it also means 2 will gather at least 450 points (which isnt enough tho even if sOs loses against Ryung) so they'll have to go further than that.
But winner of Classic vs aLive will more than likely face Innovation, which will probably be their final stop to Blizzcon (even tho I believe in Classic)
And Winner of Maru vs Rogue will probably face GumiGod, another hard stop I think.
All in all, it looks like a royal road for sOs to be at Blizzcon, which is great.

Classic is sligthy favored against INno imo. Unless INno get better at TvP.

Seems to me as legit as the SSL draws from back in the day, like Jim vs Maru and Scarlett vs TY.

that last run is gonna be harsh

As much as I love sOs to tear it up at Blizzcon, I feel there's a high chance Ryung will rekt him (maybe even 3-0).
It's just one of those sOs' things. Play brilliantly against top players, flop against mediocre ones.
Incidentally, Zest has an outside chance to win it all. It's one of those Zest' things, too.

If sOs gets past Ryung he could possibly PVP his way to the finals, however I personally prefer the scenario where he gets rekted by Ryung.
