28 players survived two days of qualifiers to earn spots in the second GSL Code S Season of 2018. The four seeded semifinalists from the current season—Stats, Maru, Dark, and soO—will join the qualified players to form the complete, 32-player roster for Code S Season 2. The list of players advancing through qualifiers is as follows:
herO was the most notable player who failed to qualify for Code S, ceding his spot to long inactive Protoss pro eMotion who defeated him in two crucial BO3 series. Additionally, a slew of WCS Circuit players earned their spots in Korea's most prestigious tournament, including Scarlett, SortOf, Zanster, Elazer, and TRUE. Returned veterans MMA and PartinG were unsuccessful in their attempts to regain Code S status after lengthy hiatuses.
GSL Code S Season 2 will be held between April 18th and June 24th with 170,000,000 Korean Won (approximately $160,000 USD) in total prize money on the line. The champion will earn a direct seed to the 2018 WCS Global Finals, while all other players will earn WCS qualification points based on their final placements.
Also why all foreigner that tries GSL qualifiers are Zerg.
SpeCial isn't zerg.
Many of the best foreigners has also been zerg for quite a while. If the best players have a go at GSL, it's only natural zerg is over represented.
Zanster, SortOf, and NoRegreT aren't top players though, and they aren't better than SpeCiaL, Kelazhur, DnS. Foreign zergs have gotten a bit luckier than other foreigners over the past few qualifiers I feel (though there were more foreign zergs participating than foreign terrans/protosses).

But honestly I doubt that Zanster and SortOf are considered to be some of the best foreigners either...
I guess for the most part (for the most of the good foreigners - like Showtime, Neeb, uThermal, maybe Snute - it's just not worth it to take a trip to Korea and probably be defeatet in the RO32
I mean it is 2,800$ but you'd have to stay for a while, so yeah... would be a lot of effort for almost nothing in the end

Kelazhur got closer to qualifying than Noregret by directly taking him out, what are you even talking about?

Anyway, kind of a lame way to get eliminated: face up against the same person twice and that's it? Had the opponent been an amazing player that would be even more unfair. Alas, no system is perfect....
What do you mean? He had just as many chances as everyone else.
He played yesterday and lost to Losira and Dear. He played today and lost to eMotion twice.
Edit: Oh I see it has been cleared up while I typed this comment .

eMotion has been around for a while. He played regularly for Samsung in Proleague starting in 2014. This is however his first time qualifying for a GSL.
