GGs to Reynor!! Good for him, that TY didn t make it to the qualifying match. He would be been the only one in his breaket to stop him 
|
Nice I wanted Zest and Reynor to Qualify, awesome.
|
Shame Cure lost to impact, I am really excited about what he can do this year. But the nerves, oh those nerves he has can block him to deliver when it matters.
|
Was TY losing to MaSa about the ping or did he send John Sun in his stead?

Considering everyone else he beat after losing to Masa he probably sent John Sun to start the bracket.

Good to see the old cowboy is still dusted off from time to time.
Btw should we make a LP page for John Sun with a list of notable series?

He was on the last patch. Now it's Cure until he plays a TvT that actually matters and he chokes. Definitely doesn't take rocket science to figure out that TY's TvT has been shaky on this patch, his WESG run almost ended with TaeJa.
Having seen the games he was definitely somewhat affected by ping but that shouldn't be enough of an issue to go 0-2 since he also had that ping when he 2-0'd Scarlett with bio.

Yeah, TvT went full baboon in this patch and map pool, and TY has the least baboonery of any korean terran.

It s the year of Clem :D
His chances to qualify in the EU qualifier are quite good as well.
He is in the Serral-less breaket, as long as he keeps his nerves against potential Koreans, he should be favoured.

Well Inno seems very off recently he even lost to Korean amateur protoss Zoun 0-3 yesterday...
And considering MaSa also beated TY 2-0. The online matches are meaningless as always been unless offline accomplishment from Serral.

It's all about flexibility when it comes to baboonery in a mirror match-up. Whatever your opponent can you, you can do it too,

I'm a little confused about how these qualifiers work with the new ESL Pro Tour. It seems like there is no region lock, ie, anyone can play on any server qualifier. So how does that fit in with the whole "11 pro tour + 16 + 9 Korea" thing on the ESL Pro Tour page? My apologies in advance for being dumb.

This edition of Katowice is still working as it were in the past.

Note that even under the new ESL Pro Tour, 2 of the 6 Masters events are supposed to be the equivalent of the global events under the WCS system (which is also why it's 11 spots from the Master events and 9 from Korea, since 2 of the Master spots go to the winners of the global events).

I'm a little sad none of our NA players (Scarlett, Masa, Neeb, Astrea) were able to qualify for the NA qualifier hopefully they make it on another qualifier. Reynor Maru and Zest doing work in the first qualifier though

It's interesting that the order of the server scheduling can matter so much
if you play out KR first, then that's probably 5 less top players who will play in the NA qualifier. Instead, you begin everything with the the NA qualifier, which means you get frickin' Maru trying for a spot. That's not so say NA players would necessarily succeed in a 'softer' NA qualifier (it might be the Euro players who benefit), but it's crazy how the order of the server qualifiers has the potential to affect who gets seeded to IEM.

Wouldn't the KR qualifiers be accordingly easier by three to five players then? Of course there's some asymmetry there since everyone wants their lowest ping server's qualifier to be last, and there's probably some difference in participants (e.g Serral would have participated in the NA qualifier if the order of qualifiers were swapped and he lost in the EU qualifier), but overall is does balance out a bit. I feel like NA players are more doomed by geography (which allows both EU and KR to have doable ping) rather than scheduling.
