IEM Katowice 2020: Qualifiers


(Wiki)Serral, (Wiki)Elazer, and (Wiki)Cure advanced from the European server qualifier of IEM Katowice, earning round-of-24 seeds at the main event as well as flights and accommodation. Just one online qualifier remains for IEM Katowice, Korean server qualifier #2, where two final seeds will be awarded. Korean qualifier #2 is set to take place on January 15-16.

The main IEM Katowice tournament will be held between February 24th and March 1st. It is set to be the first event in the newly announced ESL Pro Tour—the official successor to the previous World Championship Series system. Twelve of the spots in the 24-player main event will be awarded through the online qualifiers. The remaining twelve spots will be awarded through the live, "open bracket" portion of the tournament.

Cure has been pretty impressive lately throughout his online tournament runs. He defeated Dark, even. Barely losing 2-3 to Serral while handicapped by high ping is no small feat.

Dude has been an online beast for a while, but he falls strictly into the "I won't believe it until I see it" category for me in terms of performing well in live events (well, the ones after 2016).

Serral looked pretty much invincible in the games he won against cure though. This guy just makes this game look stupid sometimes with his incredible plays.

Also in game 5 of Cure vs Serral we kind of saw an Idra gg timing. Being down army, economy and failing his push he gged out even though he had 3-3 on the way and Serral was still on lair. He had a slim chance still

I knew, it would be super hard to advance, but I didn t expect, that all 3 of them drop out THAT early

Don't know Kev.
I don't think Serral has let anyone ever come back when he was ahead

Edit: With the exception of Reynor in ZvZ

i wouldnt rate qualifier performances so high. serral had a really long offtime between hsc and iem qualifier. didnt played for a month or so, so yeah, cure is a beast nontheless, but i guess with a really active serral, this match wouldnt have looked so close.

still i dont understand, why zergs still try to roach rav allin a terran. i NEVER saw, how such an allin didnt put the zerg behind in every way. even unscouted, the counter to it is so easy.

My predictions of Protoss struggling with this current balance is starting to show itself already, I fear we are gonna have a Zerg dominated year again with T maybe able to compete.

Why? Because we had one qualifier not 1/1/1 ?

Sure Classic's departure hurt, but I think we need more time to let things settle

And HSC and WESG both which showed continued protoss up.
Byun is a convicted match-fixer.

Exactly. HSC had 3 Protoss in Top 8

Terran will fight hard and win titles in 2020, they are fine.

With the retirement, imminent or already happened, of the best Protoss players in the world, I think the race will indeed struggle; looking at the stats, PvZ looks still Z favored(not in the late game), so it either needs to be figured out or Protoss need some help in the matchup.

Was Cure's ping actually high? Hard to believe he could nearly beat Serral and crush everyone else on high ping

Playing from KR to EU he had pretty high ping, yeah. It was pretty noticeable. The only match he played on even ping was against SpeCial because Juan also played and almost qualified from KR.
