Shopify TSL 5 - Qualifier info (예선전 정보/참가 신청)

공지: 4월24일타 대회과 일정이 겹치는 점을 고려해서 2차, 3차 한국 서버 예선전의 일정을 변경했습니다. 또, 한국 서버 예선전을 2일에 나눠서 진행하는 방식에서 하루에 모두 치루는 방식으로 바꿨습니다. [공식 입장문 읽기]

Update 24th of April: Some players have expressed a concern regarding scheduling conflicts for the Korean qualifiers. We have therefore decided to change the Korean qualifiers to 1-day events taking place on Thursdays. The information below has been updated. Our full statement is available here

So you are ready to compete in the TeamLiquid Starleague?

Here is what you need to know:

The TSL5 qualifiers are divided into Korean server qualifiers and North American/European server qualifiers (global qualifiers). Players with South Korean nationality are only eligible to play in the Korean server qualifiers (no change). Players with citizenship or permanent residency in countries other than South Korea may choose to compete in EITHER the Global Qualifiers (NA/EU servers) OR Korean server qualifiers (cannot compete in both).

We feel that this policy allows broad international participation while also avoiding the issue of non-Korean players being able to double-dip in both the Korean and international scenes.

One more important thing to note is that,before registering,your account must be at Diamond rank or above. You will also need to create an ESL account to use the ESL Play system. If you have questions about your region eligibility,please leave a question in this thread or email Manifesto7.

There will be a total of eight qualifiers for TSL5. Three for Korea,three for North America,and two for Europe. They will all be double-elimination qualifiers played out over two consecutive days. Here’s a breakdown of the dates and main tournament spots from each qualifier:
