Qualification





Here is the breakdown of the 32 player spots in the TSL4:



3 players seeded from TSL3



10 winners of TL Open qualifiers on NA/EU servers



5 winners of TL Open qualifiers on KR server



8 highest placing players based on points from the TL Open NA/EU qualifiers



6 highest placing players based on points from the TL Open KR qualifiers



In other words, 18 players will qualify through the ten NA/EU qualifiers, and 11 will qualify through the five KR qualifiers. Since the winners of the tournaments automatically gain entry, there will be two separate point rankings (one for NA/EU and one for KR) that determine the remaining qualification slots.
