StarCraft II's summer classic returns to Seoul on August 15-18 at GSL vs. The World 2019. Eight players from Korea's GSL and eight players from the WCS Circuit will compete for over 100,000,000 Korean Won in prize money.

Last year's competition saw Finland's Serral topple the proud Korean representatives on their home turf, a precursor to his ultimate triumph at the 2018 WCS Global Finals. Since then, Korean pros have struck back at Serral at international events such as IEM Katowice and WESG. Now comes a crucial step on the path to redemption: returning the GSL vs. The World title to Korea.

Team Korea: Fan Vote

Eight players will play for Team Korea. The Terran, Protoss, and Zerg players who have earned the most WCS Korea points so far this year have been invited: Maru, Dark, and Classic. Team Korea's remaining five players will be decided by the TL.net fan vote.

Here's how the voting works:
  • The highest vote recipient of each TL.net faction vote (Terran, Protoss, Zerg) will earn a spot on team Korea.
  • The remaining two spots on Team Korea will go to the two players who receive the next-highest number of votes, counted across all three faction votes. So even if your favorite player doesn't win their faction vote outright, your vote can still help them earn a spot on Team Korea.
  • You must login with a valid TL.net account in order to vote. You can register here.
  • Voting will close on Thursday, Aug 01 7:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00).

GuMiho (고병재): Unpredictable and chaotic are words often used to describe GuMiho. The mech-Terran pioneer has built his career on a vast array of builds, which he deftly uses to bewilder, blindside, and bulldoze his opponents. Eager to spread the action to every corner of the map, GuMiho is a player who's guaranteed to entertain, regardless of his match's result.

TY (전태양): TY's storied career has seen him rise from child prodigy to become a winner of huge prize pools at the biggest international tournaments. He's achieved this with his stunningly quick hands, as well as his ability to create innovative builds that often become the standard. TY is sure to deliver top-tier Terran play and make your vote worthwhile.

INnoVation (이신형): Few players (if any) can match INnoVation's resume, as he's won ten major titles in tournaments all over the globe. Aptly compared to a robot for his sheer mechanical talent, INnoVation is nigh invincible when he's locked in. While INnoVation has become more inconsistent in recent years, there's nothing like the chance of a big payday to bring out the scariest version of this macro-monster.

Cure (김도욱): Cure may be more on the quiet side as a progamer, but don’t let that fool you—when he's playing at his best, he can go toe-to-toe with anyone in Korea and emerge victorious. While Cure's Cinderella tale of reaching two GSL semifinals may seem like ancient history, he recently said that he's made progress toward overcoming his mental block and playing to the full extent of his abilities in the GSL studio. If you like a bit of a gamble, then Cure is your man.

FanTaSy (정명훈): Choosing StarCraft II over Brood War after returning from military service, one gets the feeling that FanTaSy has unfinished business to take care of. The Brood War champion has brought some of his flair from the original StarCraft to its sequel, showing more proficiency for mech than bio, using dogged harassment to build toward the late game, and refusing to surrender in the face of overwhelming odds.

Bunny (이재선): Always on the move, Bunny works to keep opponents off balance with a constant barrage of attacks and drops. This constant aggression borders on being self-destructive and has given Bunny many a loss. But when Bunny gets his opponent to break first—man, is it impressive.

soO (어윤수): Once the king of kongs and StarCraft II's most sympathetic figure, soO finally escaped his second-place prison with an incredible title run at IEM Katowice 2019. Despite his recent Ro32 elimination in Code S, the long-term story of soO is still that of a player who can overcome any setback or hardship to become a champion. Will you give him a chance to show us what he's really capable of at GSL vs. The World?

Rogue (이병렬): It's been a rough year for 2017 WCS Global Champion Rogue, who has been performing below his usual, championship contender level. Yet, he's still one of the strongest late-game players in StarCraft II, and could be one or two game-play adjustments away from reaching his previous heights. Rogue's best tournament results have historically come in short-term events, making GSL vs. The World the perfect stage to make a full comeback.

Solar (강민수): One of the best players in the world during the first year of Legacy of the Void, Solar has struggled to recapture that form despite having a bright strategic mind. However, his recent run of tournaments results suggests he's ready to step back into title contention, sweeping his Code S Ro32 group and leading Triumphant Song Gaming to the title in the Chinese Team Championship.

RagnaroK (신희범): RagnaroK has been Korea's most intriguing wild card player of 2019. His best performance saw him escape the group of death at IEM Katowice, defeating INnoVation, Solar, and GuMiho. At his worst... well he still hasn't gone past the Code S group stages. With potent late-game skills, the mercurial RagnaroK could become the next elite Zerg in Korea if he can consistently play at his peak level.

Impact (김준혁): Few players are as true to the 'pure' Zerg style as Impact. Every game is a Heart of the Swarm throwback for Impact, who looks to overwhelm his opponents with a flood of cheap, mobile, and plentiful Zerg units (although he does love his Ravager all-ins). Impact has been slowly but surely closing the gap the between himself and the best players in the GSL, and he could be due for another career breakthrough.

Armani (박진혁): Finding success after returning from Korea's mandatory military service is tough, but Armani has cleared the initial hurdles by making it into two Code S tournaments in a row. His clean 2-0 victory over GuMiho in the Code S group stage suggests there may be even more progress to come—perhaps it's time to give one of these old soldiers a chance?

Trap (조성호): As the latest breakout star in the GSL, Trap is a testament to patience and perseverance. Once he figured out how to bring his off-air skills to the GSL stage, his all-around solid play saw him reach the first Code S finals of his career. Having vanquished the likes of INnoVation and Classic in his finals run, Trap will be a top title contender should he compete at GSL vs.The World.

herO (김준호): herO is called the "Smiling Assassin" for a very good reason, as his charming visage contrasts heavily with the nasty, clinical all-ins he brings to the game. While one bad read might spell doom for herO's opponents, he also has a solid standard game to punish those who get too paranoid. For those who think Team World is long overdue for a healthy PROTOSSING, herO is your pick.

Stats (김대엽): Steady at the helm of the Golden Armada, Stats has been the most consistent, high-level Protoss—if not overall player—in Legacy of the Void. Last year, he furthered his reputation by being Serral's closest rival from Korea. Stats came close to defeating Serral in the finals of GSL vs. The World 2018, only to lose in a close 3-4 series. He had a chance to avenge that loss in the finals of BlizzCon but was handed another painful defeat. The third time could be the charm—IF the fans give Stats one more chance to take Serral down.

Dear (백동준): Dear may have reached the peak of his powers in 2013, but he's still showing us glimpses of that imperious form today. Case in point: top eight finishes in both Code S Season 1 and IEM Katowice, as well as a dominant 20-0 streak in PvT. Dear doesn't always make the flashiest plays, but he has a keen instinct for making all of the correct big-picture decisions—an underrated aspect of StarCraft success.

Hurricane (남기웅): Hurricane came out of nowhere to make a semifinal run in the last season of Code S, carving a trail of destruction through the GSL with clever builds and surprising adaptability. Some may question Hurricane's staying power now that he's made landfall, but one doesn't just fluke their way into the top four of Code S. Anyone who takes him lightly is liable to get blown away.

PartinG (원이삭): PartinG's wild and exaggerated antics as a streamer mask the precise, ruthless style he aspires to as a competitive player. There's nothing he'd like better than to pick an opponent apart with a carefully planned build, executed with flawless micro. He's even willing to put his streaming on hold to pursue success in the GSL so he won't squander any opportunity the fans give him.

Don't see it happening but voted TY in hopes that he can overcome Inno's China support. I want a GSL caster to represent GSL at GSL vs the World damn it!

Also, a Korean's plea not to vote for PartinG!

Voted TY, soO and Trap. I believe Trap earned it from his success this year and we have seen enough of Stats recently.
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

Isn't it problematic that a mostly western site like teamliquid (or am i wrong in that regard) is used to determine the korean representatives in gsl vs world? Apart from popular votes being not the coolest anyways imo.

Weird that Zest is not an option for Protoss... I'd vote for him over any of the six in the poll if I could. Does anyone happen to know why he's not included?

Damn I feel bad for Trap. In terms of pure results he is definitely the second best Protoss behind Classic this year but he is just getting demolished by Stats and even Parting and herO for some reason :/
