I expected 12 Koreans and 4 foreigners to be invited, just like it was with Kespa cup a year ago. And the invites according to the ranking in each system (with the top 4 in KR already there, 5-16th place in the KR WCS, and the top 4 foreigners). Major isn't there, and Kelazhur next in turn (Kelazhur is 5th by WCS points) explains it. If the comment was true then it was 11 koreans and 5 foreigners, which makes less sense. It was top 16 in WCS points overall, minus the top 4 from Korea, who were already invited.

Indeed that is what they did. Kelazhur was invited already a week ago or so (so he is not the replacement). They invited 5 players from West and 11 from Korea. Not sure how they calculated the points for the players from the West vs Korea as nothing makes clear sense.

Not sure how they calculated the points for the players from the West vs Korea as nothing makes clear sense. Looks to me like they just took the 16 players with the most WCS points (excluding Stats, soO, Inno and TY, and also Major since he declined) by numerical value, no differentiation between WCS Circuit and WCS KR.

Also the final qualifier on Thursday overlaps with VSL for up to 3 players (including ByuN). That doesn't seem optimal.
E: Apparently VSL is moving all their matches to Friday

I hope creator makes it. He deserves it. He works hard, super nice guy, missed GSL s3 bad luck. One of the best streamers.

Open qualifiers are close to a joke. Closed qualifier is where the real competition begins. I could see one foreigner managing to sneak in (Neeb?), but no more than that.

I'm just excited to see what Serral can do vs Koreans. We finally get to see if that 3rd place ranking on aligulac is justified.

I would guesstimate him at mid-tier Korean, on the upper end of mid. A bit higher than Scarlett. On a good day he could take a game or two against the top-tiers in a Bo5/Bo7.

I could see one foreigner managing to sneak in (Neeb?), but no more than that. You cannot say this open qualifier as a joke, these guys (so far) are still competing for only eight spots: P: Zest, Hurricane, Trust, HerO, Hush, Super, TAiLS, MyuNgSiK, PtitDrogo, Nice, Has. Z: Losira, Leenock, True, Curious, Scarlett, Gamja, PenguiN, Rex, Cell. T: Forte, KeeN, jjakji, Cure, NaTuRal.
It's like a standard online cup roster, but yes, the true qualifier will be on 29th.

Can't wait to see foreigners get stomped in GSL, the 'Korean-only' tournament. Maybe it's better that way, since it will be broadcast for all to see.
Watching the foreign hype train derail in real time is always so hilarious. KeeN's legendary nuke, for instance.

Watch Neeb lose in Code A was satisfactory.

My own hypocrisy amuses me to no end. But hey, gotta fight fire with fire.
Irony, subtlety, and all sundry sophistication is wasted on the Internet.
