Bizarre schedule for the qualifiers, basically eliminates anyone with school or a job.....wasnt TSL's idea to find new talent and bring them into the scene?

Other than tha, I really like the points schedule, it makes it so much better than a 1 off lucky placement like alot of tournaments.

So excited for this, I'll have to catch the vods though because of the time. Too bad, because even though I'm only diamond I played in it last time and beat a master player in the first round, the highlight of my Starcraft career haha

what if, for example, puma visits the NA EG house for a few days - can he qualify through NA that way? or any other korean player like that

Yeah he can enter through NA/EU but if he does he is stuck in that group until he qualifies.

No, PuMa is a citizen and resident of KR, he must play the KR qualifiers.

Basically, what Tree said. A player needs to be living there, ie moving there with the intention to stay. There are probably a few situations like PuMa that would remain a bit subjective but it isn't fair to allow PuMa to be in the US for a day and then play 9 more qualifiers from back in Korea.

Really looking forward to this. My only gripe is the inclusion of Antiga... that map is so far past its expiration date that it's really starting to stink up the joint.

Why is Korhal in the map pool over something like Bel'Shir? I can't stand that map T_T

Solid map lineup- didnt expect anything less from TL!
Though I do wish they would replace Antiga Shipyard- that map is just really bad for taking a 4th

Antiga is old, but it has always been a pretty good map, one of the first good macro maps on the ladder. The fourth is hard to take in some situations too but no worse than alot of other maps, its just that the first 3 are are so nice and easy. Its also nice to have a little variety and the high ground in the middle being so important makes this map interesting at least.

I don't like Entombed Valley, but otherwise it looks great!

You're welcome to enter in the NA/EU qualifiers

To be perfectly clear, nobody is banned from participating based on where they're from. The post outlines the main pro population but of course people from locales not mentioned there are more than welcome to participate.
