The road to Code A
What does it take to qualify for Code A? It is something that no foreigner has been able to figure out since the GSL Open Seasons.
With Code A qualifiers less than a week away, Unstable will be spending the time with the FXOpen team documenting how they prepare for Code A qualifiers on the 10th and 11th of March. During this time there will be interviews with multiple FXOpen up and coming players on what they are doing to prepare, how they are feeling about it all and what they think their hardest challenge will be during this ordeal.
There will also be interviews with their mentors during this whole process. GuMiho, Oz, Leenock and Lucky will be working closely with the players as they try to overcome one of the hardest things any StarCraft II pro gamer can do.
Please let us know if there are any topics you would like to be covered in interviews or any questions you would like asked during all of this!
