2021 Global StarCraft II League: Season 2

The qualifiers for GSL Season 2 were held over the weekend, determining the four players who will advance directly to Code S, as well as the sixteen players who will have to brave the trials of Code A. For those who are unfamiliar, the new GSL qualifier system in 2021 awards four direct Code S seeds on day one of the qualifiers, while day two only awards spots in Code A.

Veteran stalwarts (Wiki)INnoVation and (Wiki)Solar claimed two of the direct Code S spots, while the other two spots went to (Wiki)Zoun and (Wiki)Bunny—two players who have hit a patch of great form in recent months.

Players qualified for Code S


Players qualified for Code A

Down in Code A, we'll be seeing a few blasts from the past join the competition once more. (Wiki)ForGG made a surprising run through day two of the qualifiers, taking down both Armani and Patience to earn a Code A spot. Terran fans have even more good news to celebrate, as (Wiki)KeeN attained his first notable result after his recent discharge from the military, taking down Zest to reach Code A. (Wiki)Trust was another surprise player to make it through the preliminaries, earning his first return to the AfreecaTV studio stage since 2019.

Overall, three spots changed hands since GSL Season 1:

In+
  • (Wiki)Trust
  • (Wiki)ForGG
  • (Wiki)KeeN

Out-
  • (Wiki)TY (military service)
  • (Wiki)Stats (military service)
  • (Wiki)Prince

Code A Season 2 will begin on June 14th. Match-ups will be announced at a later date.

Small correction, Percival shouldn't be in the "Out" category since he beat Ryung and made it out as the 3rd player in his Group C pool. It finished last so it only updated recently.

I would have liked to see Ryung return so he can stay motivated, but if he's losing to Percival then he's probably not ready. And it's nice to see new young players make it.

It's really awesome to see Keen, ForGG, and Trust back! It's exciting to have 3-4 new/fresh players.

I'm also glad to see Creator back finally. His group match vs Zest in the last GSL season of 2020 was a really good PvP. Too bad Patience didn't make it, as he also had a great PvP vs PartinG in that same season, but it's nice to see ForGG!

Patience
Prince
Ryung
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.

So Creator just had to beat Cham to qualify? Or do results from the first day are taken into consideration for the second day seeding? The time when the GSL qualifiers were super hard is really gone...

Although I'm super hype to see ForGG return, I hope he is good, and it's not just that the level of the qualifiers has gone down!!!!

The previous code S seeds four players into the next one

In the first code S of the new format they seeded in the top four players from the recent Super Tournament, but that might have been a one-off

Creator got a walkover in the first round, beat Cham and then beat Keen for seeding.

Forgg had a slightly harder run: 2-1 armani, 2-0 patience, 2-0 hurricane

Awesome to see ForGG and KeeN make it back.

ForGG's run I hope is a preview of his performance in Code A itself. Taking out Armani, Patience and Hurricane is no easy feat and with only 1 actual map loss in all 3 sets.
