Nowadays with Europe being more competitive it's even more so. Though I don't think it beats whoever it was (KeeN maybe?) played the KR, NA and EU qualifiers back to back to back for like 16 hours before qualifying through EU. | ||

Solar is one online monster, offline he hasn't won anything big in three years; also, he was kind of lucky having to only face Snute in ZvZ in EU qualifiers. | ||

The EU qualifier made sense due to the latency but this little participation in the NA qualifier suggests there just aren't too many interested. I guess most korean pros don't know the tournament. Taeja, Bomber of course do. Also it's pretty late in Korea so maybe some found it too tiring and will just try the KR qualifier | ||

With the exception of Masa, the top NA pros are passing on this event and they have WCS points to gain from attending. (LOL Blizzard) The financial upside of this event is pretty low. | ||

The NA quali started at 4 am KST which also doesn't help, but so far the Korean qualifier has 16 sign-ups half of which are from non-Koreans. Also there's the whole deal about you having to cover your flight and hotel costs yourself, even if you get invited. | ||
