Hey folks! Coming in with the promised updates on the qualifier information for the Shopify TSL 7, plus a bit more!

Let’s begin with the specifics of the qualifiers, starting with a recap. As mentioned in the announcement thread, we will have a total of 6 qualifiers: 2 each for Europe, South Korea, and a combined “rest of the world”, with the “rest of the world” qualifier being hosted on the North American server. For ease of reference, I’ll be shortening the “rest of the world” qualifier to the NA qualifier moving forward.

Here’s a reminder on what the schedules for each qualifier look like:

:

RegionStart TimeEst. End TimeQualified
Korea #1Apr 30 4:00am GMTMay 01 10:00am GMTTop 3
Europe #1May 01 11:00am GMTMay 02 6:00pm GMTTop 3
N. America #1May 01 5:00pm GMTMay 03 12:00am GMTTop 2
Korea #2May 07 4:00am GMTMay 08 10:00am GMTTop 2
Europe #2May 08 11:00am GMTMay 09 6:00pm GMTTop 3
N. America #2May 08 11:00pm GMTMay 10 6:00am GMTTop 2



We’re expecting about 6 rounds to be played each day for EU and NA, and closer to 3-4 for KR, depending on registrations of course.

For the region restrictions, we are locking each qualifier to residents and citizens of that region. In the event of dual citizenship, or citizenship in one region and residence in another, it will be up to the player to decide which region’s qualifier they would like to participate in. They will have the choice, but will not be allowed to participate in qualifiers for different regions once they have registered. We will be requiring proof of residency and/or citizenship for all players who qualify.

And, just to be extra clear, here’s a list of countries that are part of each regional qualifier:

Qualifier Countries
KR South Korea
EU All countries listed on this page, INCLUDING Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates
NA All countries not listed in the KR and EU lists



Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get on to the new information! We’re running our qualifiers through ESL Play this time around, which will help automate the seeding process. This will allow for similar levels of competition as the ESL weekly cups. The specific tournaments should be visible early next week, on the StarCraft competitions page. That will be the place to go to sign up and play! Once the tournaments are visible there, you’ll want to follow all of the listed processes, rules, and schedule to take part in your qualifier.

For all of the community casters looking to provide coverage for the qualifiers, please fill out this community casters form at least 24 hours before the qualifier(s) you’re planning on covering begin. We’re issuing a blanket approval on everyone who applies to begin with, but may revoke that on a case-by-case basis if we expect there to be a negative impact on the players, staff, other casters, or TSL. For non-English coverage of the main event (beginning on June 12!), please also fill out the form, and we’ll be in touch after the qualifiers wrap up.

That should be everything on the Qualifiers, but we also got confirmation of the EPT points earlier this week! We’re happy to once again provide them and tie into the greater ecosystem of SC2, plus sweeten the prize pool that much more! Just to be extra clear, these EPT points are only for our main event, and will not be awarded during the qualifiers.

Placement EPT Points
1 250
2 180
3 125
4 100
5-6 75
7-8 50
9-12 25
13-16 0

"NA All countries >not< listed in the KR and EU lists"

Does that mean that KR and EU players can't play in the NA qualifier?

Yes, that's what it means.

You can also only play in qualifiers for one region so someone with dual-citizenship, for example in both the USA and the UK, would have to choose between either the NA or EU qualifier respectively.

At least, that's how I read it. Someone official correct me if I'm wrong!

The real question is; does UK belongs to EU category or NA-All countries?

Hey, sorry if things are unclear- you do not need an explicit confirmation for coverage. If you've applied, you're good to go, unless we tell you otherwise. I might have missed the other questions- would you mind repeating them?

There's a list that include the UK, a bunch of middle eastern nations that definitely aren't part of the continent Europe such as Qatar (which does make some sense given server location) and puzzlingly South Africa. Lumping most of Africa with Europe for server qualifier purposes makes some sense, but singling out South Africa is a bit strange. If you live in next door Lesotho, I guess you're part of NA?

Hey, I just noticed that the time for KR Qualifier #2 in this thread is 2 hours earlier than the time on the bracket. Unless I'm counting something wrong...

This is correct, we moved the tournament to May 7th 3 PM KST with consideration for the World Team League, but was unaware of their schedule change. We are aware of the current time conflict with NEXT KR Qualifier and have now changed the KR qualifier to another date
