Overall the Challenger Season was a surprising success for players from the Americas. With a worst case scenario that could have seen as few as just three 'Americans' in the Season 3 Premier League, a total of eight players were able to qualify (not including Scarlett, who may forfeit her spot).
A handful of newcomers also made their way up from the Challenger League, with the Koreans HyuN, Hack, ByuL, and Arthur qualifying for their first WCS America Premier League.
