$170,000 is up for grabs in the GOMTV Global Starcraft II League in South Korea, though a few Liquid members and one from MYM and a few others have managed to make their way in!
Update We've just recieved confirmation that Jinro was unable to qualify
When the tournament was first announced with a prize pool of $170,000 the buzz was incredible. People checking their bank accounts to see if they could afford to fly over at the chance, and if it was worth all of it. For three Liquid players it was and a few more who were already in Korea.
Over the two qualification days, the numbers will be brought from 2000 to 64. With each day 1000 gamers vying for one of the 32 spots.

You may be wondering why Idra is clanless?
Fomos: You're still CJ player as far as I know, did you have any problems entering the league?
Idra: I was in CJ, but I left already. My contract ends the 31st of this month, and since it's almost over, I joined GSL.

There you have it, the first 32 of 64 players that have qualified for the finals. Included in day one, the races total are 15 Protoss, 11 Terran and 6 Zerg. Best of luck to all the foreign players, you've got everyone cheering you on!

| hope all the international players make it through. would be a very interesting tournament :P |
| #1 they haven't released the full list of players yet, when we know.. You'll know! |
| TLO vs 3 toss :D |
| who is TORCH? |
| #4 I'm trying to find out myself, all I know is he's 153rd in the US server at the moment. |
| IdrA , former CJ member? Did he leave or something? |
| #7.. I knew I forgot something, re-read the news in about 5 minutes. |
| No shit, this is a SC2 competition. Look at them participants' flags hahahaha really makes me wonder why anyone even bothers watching a Korean-infested game that surrounds only themselves. |
some koreans..... idra...... some more koreans..... TLO.... some even more koreans.... Artosis..... some extra koreans  |
| How is Artosis both going to play and cast the event? :o) |
| Woah focus playing sc2 and wc3 at the same time. |
| where is jinro?-.- |
| where is Genius? |
| Remember, this is DAY 1 of 2. There's still 1000 players trying to get into the 32 spots. |
| hope for some good replays |
| oh crist i hope there gonna be full replay pack about this! if any1 know something about dropp me a pm plz. |
| wtf focus :D "Another protoss" x_D |
| Korean guys ... |
| I thought Jinro/nazgul was in this? Didnt he make it? wow thats sad Edit: Nvm Hasnt been released yet. |
| why is tester leave from oGs ? |
| does any nonkorean missed quali ? ps: LOL GARIMTO OUT HAHAHA |
| Whats with tester and idra? Both left theyr teams? |
| #21 oGssSKS aka tester`? |
| #14 He should apear tomorrow, he´s a beast, he ll be fine. Hoping for a toss victory. |
| Calling this shit "global" is laughable. If it was truly global it would be qualifiers in all the different regions. The fact that you have to be in Korea to qualify excludes almost anyone outside of Korea. This is one big fail if you ask me. |
| #26 +1 |
| Fake picture, idra smiles! |
| Sad that Garimto went out. Many p though, seems to be a very popular race in korea. |
| #28 Oh you make me smile :) ty :) Can't wait to see replays or VOD's from these games , but i must agree whit #26 , Archaik you are right , but who cares...we going to see epic games , try to enjoy it :) |
| im not in korea :( |
| gogo 포커스!! |
| Haypro ._. I read something, heard your name and typed it ^^ |
| what up with oGsTheStC? |
| and by the way i would kiss you guys for uploading a replay-pack! |
| I hope Nazgul ll qualify in day 2... |
Idra should be picked up by fnatic.MSI or EG or some prominent e-sports team  |
| Awesome, good luck TorcH ! I have never heard of you at all but since u paid ur own way to Korea I hope you some how win the whole fuckin thing :D Also, Polt, I hope you get knocked out asap thanks for taking out GARIMTO T_T |
| So, has fruitseller not played yet or he didn't qualify? |
| LOL at TLOwnage |
| god i can´t wait for all these nice games O.O |
| haha so sick that Torch made it! pretty ballsy of him to fly out there n' all |
| i cwal for the inning of the current bw pros |
| tester is out of ogs? |
| #37, SK.IdrA for sure |
| #37 x6.IdrA or maybe MYM.IdrA |
| @24 yes ogssks aka tester is clan "clanless" so why he left ogs ? thought he was with orga there ? (just his name is ogs not mean he IS in ogs ...) |
| @ ogsthesc was elminated by check 2-1 |
