The StarCraft II World Championship Series 2013 in Europe is about to start. 24 players were invited to the European Premier Division last night, eight more will be determined via online qualifiers. This is your chance to get a spot in the Premier Division of WCS Europe's first season!

Since there was no preceding season to qualify players for Season 1 of WCS Europe, invites and online qualifiers will be done differently from how they’ll be done in future seasons. By participating in any WCS EU Qualifier, players are not allowed to participate in another region for 2013.

From 14th to 17th of April four online qualifiers will be held with up to 512 participants each. Every day the top 2 will qualify for the Premier Division of WCS Europe's first season. These 8 players join the 24 invited ones and form the very first Premier Division.

Heromarine is too young and can't participate in the first season. Second season probably not as well.

The ESL always had age restrictions for their leagues.

Only when necessary. The age restriction for WCS is set by Blizzard for all WCS regions.

According to what we have been told, yes. It's possible that exceptions have been made for him/WCS Korea for this season, as WCS Korea "took over" the running GSL
