Yeah Cure definitely needs an easy group. Hopefully he doesn't meet the titan that is Prince.

Oh I get it. There's a 2nd day so Terrans have a chance to qualify

Really though I wonder what the reason for 2 qualifying days could be.

If a player needs an easy group in QUALIFIERS, they aren't going to accomplish much in the actual tournament.

Hopefully two qualifying days will make these qualifiers less volatile.

I wonder to what end it's 2 days though. In one day qualifiers like 90% of the favorites made it every time anyway. Having only 16 people qualify per day seems really inefficient and coming back the next day is just annoying for the players who barely don't make it on day 1 (especially if they're not from Seoul). And it's not like this is getting Afreeca an extra day of stream revenue since they're probably still not showing anything.

Cure did very well at the last Olimo League. He should be O.K.

Must be at least 12... wow it would be pretty amazing to see a 12-year-old play gsl these days considering how old the players have gotten.

GSL Qualifiers have always many byes.

Even back in the early days of WoL the youngest players in GSL were still like 15 or so I think (?)
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs
