So Stats and Classic are flying in for the round of 76 RIGHT?!?!?!
Quick, think of some pithy cliche and toss it here

Probably. They both have teams and Katowice is one of the most prestigious and lucrative events in SC2.

Very impressive play from TY. He almost swept the qualifier save for a BO loss against aLive.

Quite impressive run by both Zest and Rogue. Falling off to Losers bracket in the first game with 0-2 score and advancing on through

Most of the Terrans qualified from the foreigner lands and while I am surprised by microThermal, major Special was the 2nd best foreigner of Blizzcon and TY, Dark or Rogue were not in the NA qualifiers(while TY is mentioned as a notable participant I cannot see him in the bracket on ELS/TL). From the 5 spots in the Korean qualifiers 2 were Terrans, from the 6 spots of the foreigner lands 4 were Terrans, 3 of them really big names(Maru, mjr Special and Innovation)

Edit> Actually thinking about it who else (besides mjr Special and Neeb) should advance through the European qualifier? I think that uThermal is good enough to take a spot when Serral receives the invite.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

I hope sOs, Classic and Stats could enter the ro76, that's 3 out of 4 absolute top tier KR Protosses not seeded.

The PvP between Zest and Classic was great.

I only caught the very end of the qualifer (Zest vs Gumiho, Classic vs Zest), so can't say. Classic vs Zest was on Wardi and ZG's streams, so check there!

With more than half of all qualified players being terrans (Serral was seeded), I guess more terran buffs incoming LOL

I just hope Serral is in great form, I don't want to have to suffer through 2 TvT semifinals
