The Korean Qualifier

As mentioned above, the only qualifiers that are still running are the Korean ones.

The system is slightly different from that in the other qualifiers, as there are four cups that each allow one player to qualify for the Korean Final.

Players SuperNoVa, PuMa, MMA and MC have been seeded into the final, while KeeN and inori have already qualified through the two cups on July 13th and July 18th.

Two more cups are coming up on July 23rd and 27th, while the Finals will be played out on July 30th.
