The qualifiers are called Code A for quite some time allready. Nothing to be confused about.
Are we going to get coverage this time PLZ?

Rip the ByuN dream (he is getting discharged from the Army on the 31st so he can't play in this).

I thaught it was in September anyways?
Question is going to be, if he could theoretical get enough points from ST 2 and ESL Opens alone to qualify for Katowice - and if his level is even good enough to get those results. Ladder isn t everything in the end.

there will a global (probably offline) event in January which will give a direct seed to Katowice and probably many points too

So I guess this means season 3 will be played immediately after the ongoing season. And will then be over by the end of October. So the only Korean SC2 from then to Katowice in February/March will be ST2.
Weird scheduling this.
|
Yeah, they could have easily streched it a bit, instead of sticking to the old schedule from previous years, were everything had to be done for BlizzCon.

I'll see what I can do, but after two consecutive "no" answers, I'm not hopeful.

do you speak of the presumed IEM China event?
I'm quite hopeful that the global pandemic situation improves enough so that we can still have it, but I don't want to count chickens before they hatch

meh, one would think there'd be no rush to have the third season start this early, what with blizzcon having been axed and all

Well, I think with the pending military service of players like soO, Zest, and Stats, and the large # of play-in spots in the new IEM Katowice format, ByuN has an outside chance of making it with a very good Super Tournament 2 run :o

Nice work man, thx a lot :D

yay! congrats Creighton and thanks for all you do!
|
YES, really hyped for this, the qualifiers usually bring some really exciting matchups that also sometimes ends up being very important series. Always so sad when I see those pivotal series taking place and knowing they weren't casted.
|
Will play in the GSL qualifier.  Hope to have some fun.
|
Looking forward to watching this.
|
I'm super hyped we are going to get coverage of this even if it isn't live. I imagine that was part of it, a lot of players not wanting to have obs during their matches for various reasons (lag, stress, etc). This seems like the best of both worlds, players can focus on the day of and we can watch the results. Here's hoping we get some of the epic results we've seen the past few qualifiers.
Big thanks to CO for his efforts in getting us this content!

Did Reynor come to participate as well?

Apparently Byun will be participating in the qualifiers today.
You can't make $ during the qualifiers so he has the OK to sign up.

Apparently he's been cited as a practice partner by multiple players and has at least 1 account near/at the top of the ladder in Korea. I wouldn't be surprised if he qualifies. Should be interesting

yeah, i'm happy we have Creighton casting this game. I hope he stream the games of ByuN

Creighton's casting? Is it gonna be available on his stream?

From replays he announced it earlier in this thread.
Question is when he gets the replays from Afreeca
E: on 20th of August, so when all Qualifiers are done allready.
If someone want to David spoilers, I d advice you to stay away from this thread then 
It s been a live report thread who allready qualified for the last few GSL qualifiers

I talked to Creighton, it seemed like he will broadcast here : http://play.afreecatv.com/AlphaXSC2. However, the replays are a bit late on 20th August.

It has been long time to see Maru and Dark fought with other pro players at Code A level just to get their spots in bracket-24.
p/s: I haven't seen yet Byun name popping out today . Did he give up?

That's a very harsh group. First Hurricane, then Dream, and on the other side of the bracket Cure is waiting... and then it has Bomber who may show up and be good, but probably won't.
E: in fact, D, E and F are all quite gnarly groups. Guess there's another chance tomorrow, though, when things will be easier.

Oh my god this is so hype and I'm so happy for Creighton for bein able to cast Byun's return the 20th.
|
btw Scarlett isn t playing today
Is her Visa expiering soon or only playing tomorrow?
|
Dark is facing LunaSea again. Scary for him
|
Parting 2-0 Nightmare
He's the first to get to a qualifying match
|
CoCa (?) 2-1 Patience
no idea if it's really him or just something with the same name, but if it's him that'd be pretty insane

Should be the real one, since Rogue trained with him for GSL playoffs.

Would make sense since Rogue mentioned practicing with CoCa for DRG.

Maybe he can beat Zest, and if Creator somehow beats Inno, he can ZvP his way into Code S!

Buny 2-0 Armani
Parting - Bunny is the first qualifying match of the tournament now in Group A

1.Creator

4.Patience
5. sOs
6. Trap
7. Zest
8. Bomber
9. ByuN

14. Maru
15. SpeCial
16. TaeJa
17. Armani
18. Dark
19. RagnaroK
20. Solar
21 soO
That means we get 3 of these guys!:
Chance, gyulzzing, LunaSea, NightMare, Prince, Super, Zoun, control, ForGG, NaTuRal, Percival, Rookie, Spear, SuperNova, CoCa, Curious, DRGLing, Golden
(yes i know some of them have been in Code S before, but i don't think they are expected to qualify in 2020)

Please CoCa, qualify! No idea what he plays like today, but in the past I really liked many of his games.

Not necessarily. The missing "regulars" could still show up tomorrow, when things are expected to be easier as the strongest opponents already qualified today. Seems strange not to take both your chances at it, but maybe the stress of playing today is detrimental?
Also, you counted Byun as a regular already?!

Which regulars are missing today?
|
Zest 2-1 CoCa
Means Zest and Innovation are in the qualifying match in group C now
|
|
|
Bunny qualified 2-0 over Parting!

ya i counted byun as a regular already because hes 6800 on kr ladder. not that ladder is equivalent to tournament, also his group is really hard, but i still expect him to qualify if not today, tomorrow then.

Zest 2-1 Innovation, he's the second player to qualify

As you can see these are not.
Creighton asked every time this year to cast them and only now he got permission but only from replays, so still no live broadcast allowed.
But yeah, it s realy strange..

Big win for ByuN there. If he can take it Cure too we at least know his TvT is top notch already. Looking forward to seeing the vods, can't believe CO would not want to cast the ByuN games.

Scarlett is moving back to Canada at the end of the month. I hope she can enlighten us on her future plans when she streams next

Byun has amazing micro on low unit counts, as soon as he has a bigger army it's not that amazing anymore.

Looking at that Clip from Clem v Showtime I think we can throw him in there as well.
Clem makes Disruptors look like a waste of Money.

There was an In Depth episode about him, I died laughing when they showed how he pulled 3 warp prisms with F2 But they said a lot of interesting things either, would recommend watching.

PartinG qualified over Armani

is that THE CoCa?? If so...stick around friend!

This is the same 3 tries (or 6 with double elim) format as last season, right? In that case, everyone who is supposed to qualify is gonna do that tomorrow despite the upsets
|
maru qualified over Ragnarok

Matches left are Zoun - Teaja + Winner - Dark
and Special - soO
E: soO 2-0 Special, only Darks group left
Teaja 2-1 Zoun, now vs Dark

Left for Tomorrow are
Armani

If Dark falls to TaeJa here, he really is in bad shape at the moment.

He had quite a long break between his upper breaket final vs sOs and his game v teaja now, should be enough to rest his wrists I hope. Otherwise I could absolutly see him fall to Teaja here.

Wait, so last qualifiers a random zerg named Mondo was a match away from the qualifier, but he doesn't even show up to the third one? Who the fuck was that guy?

Maybe a smurf? But official breaket shows the actual name, so can t realy be either..

Teaja 2-1 Dark
Day one is done

Dang Dark rly is slipping recently guess his wrist really drags him down, hope he can recover soon :/

Patience revenge killing CoCa makes me sad. Then going on to 2-0 Inno is hilarious though.
Special getting 2-0'd twice by soO must hurt.
Byun's TvT seems legit if he beat both Dream and Cure. Impressive stuff.

You need to get to lower breaket round 3 to play in the Round 2
so he is out.
E: losers Round 3 as labeled on Liquipedia. in the official breaket its round 5

Just saw there is a losers losers round. That is kinda cool to get some underdogs in, but also means Ro24 will be boring af. Korean player pool really is limited these days :/

Maru, Cure, soO. Just randomly throwing names around, don't know why

Group C looks doable for CoCa, depending on who is going to be the fourth player.

That was in the last season as well. Zest lost like 3-4 times and still managed to qualify through that bracket, its pretty much impossible not to qualify if you are somewhat decent..

It‘s mainly a way to bring new players in. And looking at the bracket, there seem to be quite a few players I have never seen in GSL having a shot to qualify. Which is good for the scene in general.

this 4 bracket will be incredibly luck based
last season formula for the last round was clearly much fairer

Rookie, Spear, Yewon, CoCa
Let‘s go, CoCa, won‘t get easier than that.

it's basically the worst formula they could ever make up: If Creator didn't lose to Natural, bracket A would've had Creator, Bomber and Prince while the other 3 brackets being a joke in comparison
and 2 guys didn't even play so 2 brackets are actually 3 man brackets...
they waste 2 days with useless double elimination brackets just to confirm that the top guys qualify (like there's a realistic chance of someone else eliminating them in 2020) then for the last spots, the ones that really matter in a qualifier, they do this? come on!
i'd rather have the entire RO16 of S2 invited to S3 and a more meaningful qualifier, a real code A, for the last 12 spots
|
Natural, Spear, Percival, and Chance would all be new to code S right?

It's tough to be a fan of Creator but today is a good day

Unfortunately I think Korea was ignored for too long for new players to enter the stage. The damage seems irreversible. At this point, old players will return and some of them might do well (I‘d be surprised if ByuN didn‘t do well, tbh) , but I don‘t see young players joining the scene.
Although I would disagree that the state is sad. It‘s just kind of... fixed with little to no change in the field. The players that are there are mostly still good though. Some might get smashed, but that happens in every sport, every league - and even in Finals.

Feel free to disagree. But Code S was already reduced from 32 players to 28 this year, and considering these qualifier brackets it won't be long before 28 is unjustifiable. For every 1 guy coming back from the military several guys leave.

The sky has been falling since 2011. I know someday GSL will be over but it's not this year and I'm going to keep enjoying it as long as it lasts.

For guys that are worried about GSL becoming less competitive, please keep in mind that because of the Covid situation we only have Special as the sole foreigner still in Korea.
Hopefully next year when the situation eases, we have players like Astrea, Scarlett and even EU ones qualifying and making GSL very competitive and exciting.

Actually having less foreigners means more monies to the Koreans, especially some new talents in Korea. What Blizzard couldn't have done while doing it for their foreigners must have done some silly named stupid virus.

Can't say I'm enthused about fewer Koreans in the one whole one tournament left to them. I'd be a lot happier to see no foreigners making it and a new crop of Koreans in their place...

The chance for some new blood is now but it doesn't seem anyone is really interested in taking it. Maybe Korea needs Starcraft 2 mobile for it to be competitive
