[image loading]2020 Global StarCraft II League: Code S Season 2

The qualifiers for Code S Season 2 were held on June 4-5, deciding the 24 players who will join seeded players TY, Cure, INnoVation, and PartinG in the second Code S season of 2020.

A total of five Code S spots changed hands in the qualifiers. Among the Season 1 players, TRUE (military service), Bomber, Kiwian, Creator, and Hurricane were unable to earn qualification again. Replacing them are returning Code S players Patience and Super, alongside first time Code S players in Astrea, Zoun and Prince.

Race Totals for season 2. 11 Protoss, 8 Terran, 9 Zerg.

Not bad at all. Glad to see Zoun finally make it, he's been a hyped up and comer for a while. Also cool that we finally have 1 foreigner per race in the tournament now.

From what I've seen of him, Zoun's PvT is quite strong. His PvZ and PvP aren't so great though.

Not sure he can qualify as a hyped up and comer when it has taken him this long to make Code S.

At least he's already a Proleague champion though.

Technically, Terran has been doing poorly across all offline premier tournament qualifiers this year, with the exception of GSL Season 1, where about 1/3 qualified were Terran.

One of the cool things about the Code S qualifiers nowadays is looking at player lists and seeing which old names decided to stop by. Alicia is arguably the best player to never win an individual title, cool that he hung around for a couple days.

I really do feel bad for Creator... he seems to have such a mentality block when it comes to being on the brink of elimination... skill wise he should easily be able to qualify every time

Alicia, Circumstance, meet ByuL. (A player who happens to be known more for his skill than "that one picture with bad makeup)".

Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

Does anyone know how they handled EPT points for the players that were close to qualifying but didn’t make it?

The new format they used on day 2 doesn’t fit the EPT point distribution listed in the EPT rule book.

The best player in history to never win a Code S is Taeja, by an enormous distance.
