Very sad for Bomber, who was in Scarlett and Keen's group... Wished he'd make it. And I hope he'll train to make it to S2 and not just give up on coming back. Sad about DongRaeGu aswell, after losing in the qualifying match in both days, especially after taking out Dark in Day1 ...  | ||

 Also I am extremely hyped to see Leenock this season, last season he was looking super good but everyone kind of forgot after he lost one-sidesly to TY in the ro8, due to his surgery. (Not saying he would have 100% won, but it would have been more close) Leenocktopus fighting~ | ||

C'mon, this was somewhat acceptable as an opinion before we had any actual data, but how can you say this with a straight face after we had a qualifier almost devoid of foreigners, with just one spot being taken by a foreigner and yet ZERO new people? | ||

I don't know what's so hard to understand about what I wrote. With MC, Fantasy, DRG, Dream, Bomber and TaeJa there are 6 ex top players who weren't in the qualifiers the last two years. It's not that much of a surprise no newcomers qualified. If the semi region lock would have been in place last year already the chance for new players to qualify would have been much higher. Acting like the foreigner invasion didn't hurt korean new blood is just disingenuos. TLDR The last two years there was place in Code S for newcomers if it wasn't for foreigners. Now unfortunately not anymore because the player pool increased with the returners. But they still have a better shot than they would have without the semi-region-lock. | ||

I am already curious where are you going to move the goalposts next year (assuming there is a GSL 2020, that is). | ||

Maybe she feels strong enough to go for glory over easy WCS points and money. GSL Code S actually potentially pays out a lot better than WCS though. If Scarlett makes it to the Ro16 GSL (not guaranteed she will) that’s the same money as 5-6th place for WCS America (she definitely would). | ||
