Creator is also 20 now, same as Maru.
It's been 5 years since Creator was in that Blizzcon finals vs PartinG... He participated at his first blizzcon finals at 15... god dammit.

The level has gone up so much that a BlizzCon finalist is barely a S code player now

It's useless to try at this point, players are just too good for amateurs now ...

There are so few actual pros left in Korea it's worth a shot, even if you're barely GM in Korea. If Noregret can qualify for Code S, any GM player can.

While that might be true, amateurs are not going for it (and the few that have like Prince haven't met much success). You do have to actually go to the studio for a day (in this case two) which disincentives people.

NoRegreT deserves some credit, but I doubt he can surprise people again which is I assume what happened when he qualified last time.

The top top guys are several leagues above everyone else. With no latency effects, players at the GM level don't stand a chance unless they're ranked top 12ish, and even then their game plan is likely to get studied and countered super hard.

This is getting closer ... any foreigners, who will try their luck?

Currently Scarlett, SpeCial, Zanster, SortOf, puCK, DnS and NoRegreT are in the foreign house. There could be some Chinese players staying elsewhere that will also give it a shot.

Hopefully some pirate mobile stream with live results again ...

Hopefully the lower tier of Korean Starcraft can rise up and drive out the dirty foreigners. If Korean SC2 is going to survive into 2019 after some major retirements we are going to see in 2018, it will need players like Creator, NightMare, Impact, Pet, etc. to step it up.

Impact has been doing well recently, so he should get in. As for the rest...I mean their gap already closed a long time ago.
