One face Gsl SSL champions and others face retired players, wcs top 32 players, 6k2 kr serv players.
So ye, luck is a little less involved, but some players aren't lucky.

Well done NoRegret! Code S for life 
Sad to see MMA didn't make it but it was a really strong attempt and comeback.
All in all, amazing event for OnFire/N3rdStreet/Team Expert. Well done and keep up the good work, best wishes for 2018.

The overall format has to compromise between accurate rankings and number of games played. With a limited number of games, the format has to choose which part of its ranking it wants to be most accurate. Of course, it has to make sure the top ranks are the most accurate. So the accuracy of top 32 and beyond is what suffers the most in the compromise. But quadruple elimination is pretty forgiving. You cannot fail to make the top 32 without at least four people defeating you. Theoretically you could be the 5th best player in the tournament and not make the top 32, but it's very unlikely. The players who make goals of top 32 or top 16 have to accept the fact that the format is not designed for their goals to be totally meaningful.

I will write it. I'm salty AF because 3 foreigners took places for 3 ro32 material Koreans WHO CANNOT ATTEND ABROAD to try their luck there.
I don't care how. I'm just pissed. No matter the fact that Maru and $O$ made it.

Yes deacon.frost, they are happily nailing the korean scene in his coffin.
Really sad, poor Rookie, Cure, Forte, Ryung etc, brackets are completely fup because of that.

Sure they can. Just obtain a visa in any of the WCS regions and live there. For the longest time, that's what foreigners had to do to be the best and survive in the SC2 environment. Foreigners would come and train in Korea.
So when the Korean opportunities are more limited, they should have to make the effort to go to a WCS region and live there and see if they can succeed.
Honestly, if they can't make it here, I seriously doubt they would do that well in any other region.

The most exciting thing for me is to see foreigners in Code S. Go go Scarlett, SortOf and NoRegreT! I will be rooting for you in RO32.

Getting a visa isn't that easy... you can't just be like "Well hop on a flight to America where you know no english and have no connections whatsoever- no visa? Just get it"

When foreigners just have to fly, remember how long it took to TRUE.
You're a supporter of the death of the GSL, only because, at one time, the foreigners were not protected. And according to you, great bright spirit, the Koreans have to pay for this time ...
Really childish reasoning.

I'm still just kind of shocked that Major didn't make it. He seemed like an guaranteed qualifier to me

I've heard Apollo personally persuaded Life and Bbyong to match fix and KeSPA to abbandon SC2. Strangled proleague with his own bare hands. Wow...had no idea. Always thought he was such a nice guy. /s
