It would be great if you'd help me out ^0^.
UPDATE- Thanks for all the gamer's ID provided at the comments.
Dual Tournament Qualifier RESULTS & interview translation.
There are total of 12 groups A to L. Each group has 7 to 8 players. They each play best of 3 with the designated opponents. The first place gamer in each group earns the quali for DUAL TOURNAMENT. The second place gamers go through another best of 3 with adjacent groups' second place; (A's 2nd place with B's second place, and etc.). So there are 12(First place) + 6(Second place) earning the quali for DUAL TOURNAMENT. 18 players who stands above.
Here are the results so far. I will update it more tommorow.
UPDATE- It's all done
=================
Group A
▶Lee Hakjoo(T)=I feel great. I want to do well in the DUAL TOURNAMENT as well.
▶이학주=너무 기분이 좋다. 본선에서도 꼭 잘하고 싶다.
=================
Group B
▶Kim Sunki(T)=I like it even better that I have made it to the DUAL TOURNAMENT because it has been a while. I want to make it to STARLEAGUE this time.
▶김선기=오랜만에 올라온 본선이라 좋다. 이번엔 꼭 스타리그까지 가고 싶다.
================
Group C
▶Kim Hwanjoong(P)=I am not particularly happy making the cut. I have made it to DUAL TOURNAMENT last time and have fallen back here. This time I am here to finish what I wasn't able to last time.
▶김환중=진출이라고 크게 기쁘거나 하지는 않다. 듀얼토너먼트에 진출했다가 떨어진 것이기 때문이다. 저번에 못다한 것을 하러 간다.
=================
Group D
▶Ma Jaeyoon(Z)[IPXZERG(Z)]=Since it has been a while that I have made it this far, I won't be laid back so easily this time. And I will also prove that I am as a dominant player in the STARLEAGUE (as well as in MBC GAME STARLEAGUE).
▶마재윤=오랜만에 올라온만큼 지난번처럼 어이없게 떨어지지 않겠다. 그리고 온게임넷에서도 강하다는 것을 보여주겠다.
=================
Group E
▶Oh Minkyu(T)=It's my first time making the cut after about seven or so tries. All the matches were very close, 2 to 1. I am still shivering. I will practice even more now, so that I would make it to the 2nd round of DUAL TOURNAMENT.
▶오민규=7번정도 도전해서 처음 올라가는 것 같다. 2대1로 이기면서 힘들게 올라왔다. 지금도 떨린다. 꼭 연습 많이 해서 2라운드도 진출하고 싶다.
=================
Group F
▶Kim Geunbaek(Z)=I feel even more proud because it was so hard to get here. I will do better in DUAL TOURNAMENT as not to fall back to the preliminaries ever again.
▶김근백=힘들게 올라간 것이라서 더욱 뿌듯하다. 앞으로는 예선에 내려오지 않도록 본선에서 잘 하겠다.
=================
Group G
▶Kim Sungjae(P)=The match with Cho Hongkyu(T) was really tough. I did not know who he was, but he was just as good as Jun Sangwook(T). I am so glad that I have made the cut. I will pace myself through the STARLEAGUE.
▶김성제=조홍규 선수와의 경기가 정말 고비였다. 모르는 선수였는데 플레이는 완전 전상욱이더라. 진출해서 너무 좋다. 스타리그까지 달려가겠다.
=================
Group H
▶Lee Jaehoon(P)=I thought I would make the cut rather swiftly, but suffered more than I expected. I was a bit aimless in my play that there were many long running games also. I will do better this time. Yeah!
▶이재훈=당연히 올라갈 수 있을거라고 생각했는데 생각보다 많이 고전했다. 어리버리하게 해서 장기전도 많이 나왔다. 이번엔 꼭 잘하겠다. 파이팅!
=================
Group I
▶Han Dongwook(T)= It feels good. I will put in more effort. My goal is to be in STARLEAGUE.
▶한동욱=좋다. 열심히 하겠다. 스타리그까지 올라가는 것이 목표다.
=================
Group J
▶Kang Min(P)=I have much more to go. This is not the time to dwell in excitement. I will provide the fans with the results that they will feel satisfactory. I will show myself in the STARLEAGUE in 3 to 4 months.
▶강 민=아직 갈 길이 많이 남았다. 여기서 기뻐할 때가 아닌 것 같다. 이번엔 팬들을 기대에 부응하는 성적을 내겠다. 3,4개월 뒤에 스타리그에 진출하는 모습을 보여드리겠다.
=================
Group K
▶Jun Taekyu(P)[ZEUS(P)]=There were times when the maps were disastrous for the PROTOSS, times when I was in a slump, and the at the last preliminary I was faced with my weak vs. Protoss and didn't make the cut. This time I will never fall back to the preliminary ever again.
▶전태규=프로토스에게 맵이 암울했던 때가 있었고, 내가 슬럼프를 겪기도 했고, 지난 예선에는 취약한 프로토스전을 하면서 떨어졌다. 이번에는 절대 다시는 예선에 떨어지지 않도록 하겠다.
=================
Group L
▶Cha Jaewook(T)=I had the really sore heart. I want to make it to the STALEAGUE so much. Please root for me along the way.
▶차재욱=정말 한이 많다. 꼭 스타리그 가고 싶다. 지켜봐달라,
The 2nd places' best of 3
=================
Fron the Top = Na Dohyun(T), Park Chansoo(Z), Park Daeman(P)
=================
Group A & B
▶Na Dohyun(T)=I should have won over Kim Sunki(T), thus avoiding the match with An Seokyeol(Z). I feel sorry for Seokyeol(they are in the same team). I will put in even more effort for Seokyeol's place in the DUAL TOURNAMENT, and hit all the wins earning the fourth SEED in STARLEAGUE.
▶나도현=김선기 선수를 이기고 올라갔어야 하는데 패해서 석열이를 꺾고 올라가서 너무 미안하다. 듀얼토너먼트에서는 석열이 몫까지 해 전승으로 4번 시드를 차지하겠다.
=================
Group C & D
▶Park Chansoo(Z)=I feel good. Starting in PROLEAGUE and racking up confidence seemed to be of great help. I will try to make it as far as I can in the DUAL TOURNAMENT.
▶박찬수=기분 좋다. 프로리그에 출전해서 자신감을 쌓은 것이 도움이 된 것 같다. 본선에서 올라갈 수 있는 데까지 올라가고 싶다.
=================
Group E & F
▶Park Daeman(P)=I feel dumbfounded. I can't quiet define how I feel right now. I will put in more effort.
▶박대만=얼떨떨하다. 무슨 기분인지 모르겠다. 열심히 하겠다.
=================
From the Top = Cho Yongsung(Z), Sung Hakseung(Z)[Moomyung(Z)], Lee Jaehwang(Z)
=================
Group G & H
▶Cho Yongsung(Z)=I am so happy. I will prepare myself to be in the STARLEAGUE.
▶조용성=너무 기쁘다 이번엔 정말 많이 준비해서 스타리그로 가겠다.
=================
Group I & J
▶Sung Hakseung(Z)[Moomyung(Z)]=The Qualifiers seems so much harder than the DUAL TOURNAMENT itself. I would never want to come back here.
▶성학승=예선이 본선보다 더 어려운 것 같다. 다시는 예선으로 오고 싶지 않다.
=================
Group K & L
▶Lee Jaehwang(Z)=I am shivering. I made the cut so close, it was really hard. I was also had came so close at the last season's DUAL TOURNAMENT. I will never be back here.
▶이재황=떨린다. 정말 힘들게 통과했다. 지난 시즌엔 아쉽게 떨어져버렸지만 이번에는 예선으로 다시 돌아오지 않겠다.
So there it is.
I will update it more tommorow.
UPDATE- it's all done
- Nar_rA made it ^_^!!
- Oh Minkyu(T) is a first timer. Let's see if he's gonna be another monster breed TERRAN following the footsteps of Slayers Boxer, NADA, ooV, and Xellos. July was just like him one year ago.
- Yes we are all weeping. Tossgirl's fatal loss...... is simply too sad. T_T
- uh.... Pete and Brian didn't make it... damn it. Pete even won the first bracket, but didn't make it to the next step. (sigh)
* Well Overall, it is obvious that the experienced gamers prove themselves dominant. There is only one new face who made the cut. This indicates that the gap between the progamers and semi-pros (and amateurs) are just widening even more. They are just... damn good.
* We all can see what the progamers really want. Pretty obvious. -.-;; They want to make it to the STARLEAGUE, and not be in the prliminaries ever again. Progamers loathe the preliminaries. They are never sure if they will ever make it. And since the STARLEAGUE is the life long dreamt World Series Match for the progamers, they are just there putting out 10 hours of mental physical training everyday. Let's root for the 18 of them here who stood above the others fair and square
^ ^/~~ hooray~
* I don't want to patronize MBC GAME STARLEAGUE, but still it is true that MBC GAME STARLEAGUE is more like a minor league compared to the STARLEAGUE. MBC was blessed with great matches, on top of my head like, Nar_rA's Hallucinated Arbiter Recall. However among progamers, there are even this little joke; "there are two types of progamers. The normal everyday progamers, and the 'STARLEAGUEr'". That's why the DUAL TOURNAMENT 2nd round is so intense, and so is the DUAL TOURNAMENT 1st round, and finally the DUAL TOURNAMENT QUALIFIERS. It is heartaching for the losers, and exhilarating(if not overwhelming as seen in some interviwes above). Call me a nerd, but aren't they just great? GL and GG to all the 18 who made the cut, 6 more who are seeded for DUAL 1st round, and of course the 16 who are in the next STARLEGUE. They ROCK =_=!!
Enjoy
leave me a word or two if you like this thread. Oh and help me with the bw ID's. Thx a lot~
UPDATE- Thank you again for helping me with the ID's ^ -^
