The most objective measurement for the question who would qualify for GSL ro16 if it was a global event is the IEM World Championship were almost evey relevant SC2-Player participates. IEM 2019 and 2018 featured 3 foreigners in ro16. An it probably would've only been 2 this year, if Classic would've been able to participate. Most objective? Not really. Katowice is just one tournament, even if it is the one with open qualifiers; what if we look at Code S S3 2018, which is an actual a Code S(no need for comparisons)? We find two foreigners in the ro16, out of three who qualified. And guess what? Not every single top foreigner went to Seoul to play the qualifiers, in fact seventeen non koreans tried: half of those were Chinese/Taiwanese and few were of the caliber of Mamba; you might have expected Scarlett and maybe Drogo, Kelazhur and Has(in 2018) to get through. The majority of the best western players(who are on this list) didn't even try, yet there were already as many in the ro16 as Katowice results makes you think it would be the appropriate esteem. I don't know exactly why Katowice is so favourable to koreans, I think it's because the first "big" tournament of the year in which the two scenes clashes and koreans seem to adapt better in this early confrontation; it would be hard to explain BlizzCon's or the very Code S results foreigners had if you took Katowice as predictive model. | ||

Does anyone happen to know why he's not included? maybe his wcs point rank is not enough, it seems that they choose highest 6 players for us to vote | ||

He REALLY should’ve been seeded but Blizzard pulled the rug out from under him at the last minute. Vote Trap if you believe in justice. What a touching speech  | ||
