With the qualifiers for WCS almost over (only Taiwan has yet to finish their qualifiers), we now know the roster of players competing for a coveted spot in WCS Premier League. While many players should be content making it to Challenger for Season 1 and earning a nice $2,000 paycheck, the dream of course is to reach the pinnacle of Starcraft 2 competition. Premier League is just one series win away for all these players, and it's difficult to argue that there are more deserving players than these.



So, before Challenger League gets underway it's a good time to take a quick look at each player and their prospects for 2015.
