EVERY grandmaster can participate in the qualifier and with some exceptions also masters players.
if you are not able to get into GM.- you prolly are not good enough to compete in the main event anyways
Thanks for organizing this event guys, I had a great time at the CK-99. I've never been that comfortable watching SC2 games! Too bad I suck at racing games, otherwise I'd had taken all those giveaways back to the Canadian embassy. Until next time!
