My impression was that Percival was the new player seen as having the best chance of breaking into the player pool but he hasn't made it to gsl yet.

More North Americans won the qualifiers in 2 days than Europeans have total in the 10+ year history of GSL.
This bothers the TL Europeans.

Is that...accurate? There have definitely been more than 3 Europeans in GSL, sure most of them were invited but still

Well I was also expecting Chance to do a bit better, but he kind of botched it the last Qualifier as well, so I had probably to high hopes.. He s appearently quite high on the Kr Ladder, but can t translate that into actuall tournament results :/ I pictured Percival behind him tbh, but with sose young players it s kind of hard to measure, as a lot of (small-) tournamet result is realy volatile for them and depends on who actually showes up as well...

I have some faith in Zoun, he has Prime and SKT past, he was sitting close to championship caliber players, plus he has wins vs INno, soO and Zest this year, I think he needs one breakthrough moment to boost the coinfidence. I was cheering like hell for him during IEM Katowice.

Do they look unstoppable? Really all they've been doing is winning a few PvPs.

Up to 11 Protoss may qualify. Creator is still in his match so we will know if 11 Protoss qualify. Only 5 Terran qualified. That's terrible.

5 terrans out of 10 qualified today and 3 players are already seeded in the next round because 3/4 of the semifinalist of the last GSL were terran.If you look at the first part of today's qualifiers almost every win by a protoss was a PvP,they lost almost every other matchup. I'm not talking about balance but you should be intellectually honest.
P.s. Creator lost so it's almost perfectly balanced race wise.

Here are the qualification statistics for all offline premier tournaments in 2020 for Protoss:
10 Protoss qualify for IEM Katowice group stages out of 23 qualification spots 7 Protoss qualify for GSL Super Tournament out of 16 spots 7 Protoss qualified for GSL 1 out of 24 spots 10 Protoss qualified for GSL 2 out of 24 spots
Here are the qualification statistics for all offline premier tournaments in 2020 for Terran:
5 Terran qualify for IEM Katowice group stages out of 23 qualification spots 4 Terran qualify for GSL Super Tournament out of 16 spots 9 Terran qualified for this GSL out of 24 spots 5 Terran qualified for this GSL out of 24 spots

Aww creator

Wait,as I said I wasn't talking about balance,I was talking about your comment about today's qualifiers. You were replying to ZigguratOfUr who wrote that TODAY protoss players won almost only PvP and that was the truth. More protoss qualified today because there were more of them who tried the qualifiers and 3 terrans were already seeded. 3 of 5 terrans today never even won a map so they were just less skilled,2 qualified and the last one won just 1 set and lost every game in the second round.I think that today's player playing terran were just not that good (or qualified). I can't see how you can cry about balance after today's qualifiers.

At least Super qualified after knocked out the new god Mondo

So sad for Creator
