Seven rookies and five former champions: We now know the 32 players that will determine the new champion of this GSL Code S and follow in the big footsteps of Royal Roader Joo ‚Zest‘ Sung Wook and almost Royal Roader Kim ‚Classic‘ Doh Woo. Here they are as trading cards.

To sum some facts up:

  • Four players out of the worlds best 10 is quite usual. It was the same number in Season 1 and 2 this year
  • [maru] is the youngest contestant once again just turning 17 years today – the oldest is [stork] who is 25 years old
  • There are seven rookies this season: [hurricane1], [avenge], [effort], [cure], [terminator], [hush] and [trust]
  • Five former champions compete this season: [dear], [soulkey], [classic (kdw)], [zest] and [dongraegu]. Also the defending WCS global champion [sos] and last years OSL-winner [maru]
  • [soo] was three times runner-up in GSL yet. Time to take the last step
  • [dongraegu] is the most experienced player with 12 seasons so far followed by [parting] (10), [maru] (7), [soulkey] and [rain (by.sun)] (both 6)
  • Each contestant has already won $1.427. but $66.612 await the champion

10 facts about the supposedly weakest group of Code A this season

Schreibe eine Antwort

It’s the final day of GSL Code A and the season ends with the supposedly weakest group in which no participant has a wide experience of Code S attendances. And though Song ‚Stork‘ Byung Goo is a Broodwar-legend he has yet to deliver great performances in Starcraft 2. But whoever makes it to Code S today will have the chance to beautify his vita. Here’s what you need to know about Fantasy, Stork, Yonghwa and Trust.

Trivia

  1. None of todays players is very experienced in Code S. [yonghwa] has the longest history with five attendances so far, [fantasy] played twice in Code S, [stork] once and [trust] never before
  2. [trust] tried five times to qualify for Code S in vain between March 2013 and January 2014. Last season he did not attend the qualifiers.
  3. [stork]s 9th place at last seasons Code S was his biggest success in Starcraft 2 to date though he of course is one of the biggest players of Broodwar.
  4. [stork] was one of the Six Protoss Dragons in Brood War, a title which was given to the top six Protoss players that dominated the scene from November 2008 to March 2009.
  5. [yonghwa] was the best player of GSL Team League in two seasons in 2011 and 2012 and third at the IEM World Championship 2013
  6. [trust] was invited to the newcomers tournament Warrior’s Challenge in June and won third place. He could beat [nightend], [elfi] and [terror] before losing to [avenge].
  7. [fantasy] has competed in 23 tournaments in his career but none of them was outside of South Korea. He mostly played in team leagues like Proleague where his best effort was being the second strongest player in January 2013.
  8. [fantasy] lost all of his three matches to [stork] in Proleague. Their last match was in January. But he is 2:0 against [yonghwa] and 3:0 against [trust]
  9. He played only one TvP in the past three months and lost it to [super]. Not the best preparation for a all-Protoss-group
  10. Neither [stork] nor [yonghwa] or [trust] have been very good in PvP lately. But Trust is 10:0 against Terrans
