Will we see new players breakout thanks to the new gameplay ? or will the old guard hold strong ? ( maybe even some comebacks :o ) RIP MKP

I would have assumed this tournament would either seed all 32, or the bottom 24 (with top 8 from last season carrying over). But 2 is such a strange number.



Pretty sure this means there have to be other unannounced events as well, to seed the other 14/22/30.



edit: goes without saying that I'm super stoked, of course. INna Maru-da-FanTa, Bbaby, TY Dream that I'm Flashing you

Pure speculation, but it could be retirements kicking in?

If they keep the seeding structure, losing Flash and Pigbaby means that they're down 2 Code A matches, so they might be just shifting the two spots from those straight to Code S Pure speculation, but it could be retirements kicking in?If they keep the seeding structure, losing Flash and Pigbaby means that they're down 2 Code A matches, so they might be just shifting the two spots from those straight to Code S Writer Form is temporary, MMA is permanent || http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/508630-article-archive

chipmonklord17 Profile Joined February 2011 United States 8542 Posts #13 I wonder if this is the reason Byun isn't going to HSC. Also because most of this is online could anyone in theory play in it? I assume it has the same restrictions as the GSL qualifiers (masters league and whatnot) but is there anything stopping foreigners from playing? Outside of the need to be in Korea should they make the final

Last-minute flight to Korea gonna be way more expensive than what you get from the prize pool. But State and I think Harstem are in Korea and might play.
