The third and final qualifier for WCS America sub-region saw ROOT.CatZ, coL.qxc, SEED.Astrea, and ROOT.Illusion advance into the first WCS Challenger Season of 2014. Qualifier spots still remain for the South East Asia sub-region. Additionally, a "Ladder Wildcard" (regionless) qualifier remains as well, where Koreans such as Bomber are the favorites to advance.
The WCS 2014 system has changed the Challenger League drastically, with players who make it through the qualifier being matched up against one of the previous season's Premier League/Challenger players in a single best-of-five series to decide qualification for the new Premier League season.
