2021 Global StarCraft II League: Super Tournament 2

The qualifiers for Super Tournament #2 concluded on May 3rd, deciding the roster of sixteen players who will compete in the middle Super Tournament event of 2021. Super Tournament #2 will be held from May 17th to May 27th.



With just fourteen spots up for grabs in the preliminaries, a couple of notable players were inevitably eliminated. IEM Katowice runner-up (Wiki)Zest failed to make the cut from his qualifying pool, losing to Zoun and Armani (Wiki)PartinG will also miss out on the Super Tournament, having been knocked out by the combination of Bunny and SpeCial.

The recently discharged (Wiki)Leenock and (Wiki)KeeN both gave the qualifiers a shot, but could not advance in the end (KeeN took a map off INnoVation, however).

Wonder if this is what Protoss representation will be like in tournaments from here on out with Stats and Zest leaving. Hopefully Classic comes back strong this year.

I thought I had read Special was going to leave Korea due to visa issues?

In any case, looking forward to the tournament!

I'm not sure if he's said when his visa expires, so possibly it lasts long enough for him to play in supertournament?

DRG also didn't make it. I feel like he's also a notable player to mention

Stats didn't enter this tournament. And Zest got bopped by a fellow Protoss (Zoun). Also, there is big difference in the level of play between the old guard, especially the old guard that played during the ProLeague era, and new wave Korean players. For example, the difference in play between Zest/Trap/Classic/PartinG and the new wave Protoss like Prince and Nightmare is just too great. If Zoun is considered a new wave Korean Protoss, then Zoun is the one exception that seems to have improved (he did join in the last year of Proleague) but he was not a notable Protoss player when Proleague disbanded.

Korean Terran has the same problem because the difference in level of play between Ty/Maru/Byun/Cure and Percival is also a big gap.

Protoss is not looking good atm. Losing two pillars of the race in Stats and Zest is going to be really painful. I imagine it'll be the same for Zerg when Rogue and Dark go to the military. There aren't many other premier level zergs in Korea.

Super Tournament isn't exactly the type of tournament that lets new talent shine.
