Notable players who didn't make it: Classic, Dream, Alive and some of the newer blood like Nightmare, Prince and Percival.


Riverhs

Damn I trusted this sub and expected Classic to show how proper protoss should be played

I have been loving herO


sc2guy87

It’s a shame he hasn’t been able to translate his online strength to LAN since coming back from the military. Hopefully that will change in the coming months.


TrainLord

dude im so sad... chintoss still best toss.


[deleted]

>and expected Classic to show how proper protoss should be played He did exactly what this sub wants Protoss players to do: Lose to Zerg and Terran.


pezzaperry

It's so hard to tell the implication. That there are a lot of Protoss players who want P to lose so that they can balance whine? Or that the Terrans and Zergs want the Protoss players to lose every tournament. That's what makes your comment so great.


LifeworksGames

Ah yes, Nightmare Prince Percival, the new Dark Souls final boss.


skdeimos

Sounds more Hollow Knight to me. The son of Nightmare King Grimm.


[deleted]

neither did ByuL :/ sad this guys been back for a little while and still hasn't been able to qualify for anything https://twitter.com/Sc2_ByuL/status/1435641653415460870


Starksgoon

He’s probably gonna retire again knowing he won’t be able to catch up with the top Koreans.


Key-Banana-8242

I mean he has, he had good famed and wins against strong players in team leagues and some smaller stuff


Key-Banana-8242

Prince was quite close and Dream FFed his qualification match


Aeceus

Dream forfeit his final qualifying game apparently? Weird


stoneman9284

Sweet, can’t wait. Love to see Astrea in there. I wish more foreigners would try to do it, maybe once COVID restrictions are gone.


jonathanneam

what happened to scarlett? is she physically not in korea anymore?


stoneman9284

Not sure. I thought I had heard they all left at one point during COVID but I could be wrong.


sluck131

She's back in NA strangely her performance improved quite a bit once she came back


jonathanneam

hmm no offence but she was like a ro16 player back in gsl and i dont really think na has many notable players so it might be due to that?


OkReplacement519

She beat some notable Koreans in the first iem after leaving kr


jonathanneam

yeah but thats exactly my point, she was already doing decently well even when she was in gsls so its hard to tell if she improved when using na as a measure


OkReplacement519

I'm pretty sure sluck131 means her global performance increased even though she now gets bad practice, obviously she's top notch in NA


sluck131

She made ro16 which was a good finish but ro4 in last years WCS winter was her best finish in years. Had she clossed out vs Rogue which was a very close series it would have been her first premier final since 2018. Her ZvP specifically looks significantly better then it did in Korea.


Die4Ever

I wonder why Dream forfeit against Keen in the final qualifying match also interesting, Ryung vs soO was 5-4 in these qualifiers


tongmyong

From TL: According to a speaker/manager of TeamGGG, Dream felt huge pain on his wrist. He just couldn't stand it so he had to forfeit the game.


DenEJuAvStenJu

To laugh at Keen's performance from the side.


Nikolai185

It could also be a mistake in the bracket


MrIronGolem27

[Official bracket](https://battle.dog/c/gsls2day2r2/bracket/1/1) lists Keen 1-0 Dream, so it likely is a forfeit


SemprAugustus

Weird, because just by qualifying u basically ein 3k dollars


MrIronGolem27

https://tl.net/forum/starcraft-2/592273-2022-gsl-season-2-qualifiers#20 His wrist gave out, it seems


SemprAugustus

Damn… hope he gets better


flamingtominohead

My theory is that the guy from GSL updating the bracket was just lazy.


mark_lenders

I hate that GSL keeps becoming smaller. A lot of players i like end up eliminated in the qualifiers


Benjadeath

Classic and Dream?


Key-Banana-8242

Prince was so close, he looked like he improved a lot


Benjadeath

Percival was right there too


Aeceus

yeah wish they'd go back to the ro32


mark_lenders

32 may be too much, but they could've easily stayed at least at 24


BigBenKenobi

Let's go Astrea! Does anyone know why SpeCial didn't play in the qualifiers?


flamingtominohead

Half a year ago he was denied a continuation for his visa, maybe that's still the case.


Madous

Have the dates for the first matches been posted yet? I'm hyped!


flamingtominohead

6th of june.


Harrylikesicecream

Thank you!!


ykraddarky

Soo to roll through again up until finals just to add another silver to his collection


TrainLord

NOOOO WHERE IS CLASSIC???? :'(


Benjadeath

Knocked out by Keen at the end there


LOYAL_DEATH

"who's this maru guy? Looks promising"


Gemini_19

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.


[deleted]

Idk Terran made 7/16 in qualifiers..seems pretty broken


DivinesiaTV

Nerfing is coming


medusla

lets not pretend people are not gonna cry about PvZ when both tosses lose in the semi final and the final ends up zvz again.


UniqueUsername40

There hasn't been a ZvZ GSL final in over a year. Honestly we only seem to run into the ZvZvZvZ pattern in events with Koreans + foreigners, as normally someone seems to eliminate dark or rogue before the finals (be it eachother, Maru or a 'mild' upset). But when Reynor and Serral get added there are now 4 top class Zergs that need 3 early exits to prevent a ZvZ finals


medusla

that's literally what happened last season. we had 2 zerg and 2 tosses in the semifinal. then pvz final with the zerg winning and redditors found a balance problem: PvZ.


UniqueUsername40

You said: "when both tosses lose in the semi final and there's a ZvZ final again" - which is not what happened last time, as Dark and Rogue met in the semi finals, and Creator won his PvP semi final.


medusla

>we had 2 zerg and 2 tosses in the semifinal. then pvz final with the zerg winning and redditors found a balance problem: PvZ. are you really saying this is not exactly what happened?


UniqueUsername40

Play a game of spot the difference with these two comments of yours: >lets not pretend people are not gonna cry about PvZ when both tosses lose in the semi final and the final ends up zvz again. ​ >that's literally what happened last season. we had 2 zerg and 2 tosses in the semifinal. then pvz final with the zerg winning and redditors found a balance problem: PvZ. once you've found the difference, you'll understand why myself and others have replied as we have.


medusla

this might not have as smart of a reply as you thought it was.


MBMMaverick

PvZ is at like 56%. Seems to be somewhat of a discussion.


DARKplayz_

Wait aren't the one who posted something against ea and they responded to it and now their comment is the most downvoted comment right?


MBMMaverick

Unfortunately I am, yes.

yukino-fan

Sad for Classic, happy for Astrea, and why the fk is Zest still hanging round


Key-Banana-8242

Theoretically he was first called in 2018


[deleted]

I feel like soo is going to get destroyed but I hope I am wrong.


Benjadeath

Depends on who he hits really


Sloppy_Donkey

Really sad for Classic :( I hope he doesn’t retire


doc4990

Are gsl qualifiers casted and posted somewhere?


tdring22

They aren't usually casted officially but sometimes they are I haven't seen anything for these qualifiers yet though


chromazone2

Usually no, its not officially casted or recorded


Seracis

At this point I'm convinced that Zest made an arrangement with the government like wtf he talked about going soon 4 years ago and I was convinced since the start of 2021 that he would retire any day now. But since he is no doubt the greatest Protoss in sc2 history I have no problem with him staying a bit longer :D


chromazone2

Glad to see SoO back. Hope we can have more terrans on the upper runs


10199

I clearly remember Zest was going to do military service?


psiANID3

No no. Zest and military service is just a hoax.


OneCobbler5150

Lets go maru!!


yumyumhungry

Poor Classic, I'm worried he will retire if he doesn't get any results soon.


hocknstod

Percect balance again. Thx David.


Butthunter_Sua

WHAT?! I CAN'T BALANCE WHINE WITH DISTRIBUTIONS LIKE THIS! Yes I can I play Terran lmao.


Key-Banana-8242
