Strelok, NonY and White-Ra - get ready to practice. The Korean invitees for PGL are known, and they have all played in the big Korean leagues.



Two are from CJ Entus, one comes from MBCGame Hero and one from eSTRO. Every player but OriOn have a ProLeague record. OriOn, unlike his Korean compatriots, has been playing in the MBCGame StarLeague for two seasons and should be considered the most successful solo player of the four.

nbs[gm] is no stranger to the ProLeague follower. Having played nearly in every ProLeague match together with either sAvOr or Kwanro in last season's 2on2 sessions, the Protoss player holds the 40th position on the KeSPA ranking. Individually, his match record shines less. He holds one win in this season's ProLeague, against GanZi. The 21-year-old partook in the GomTV Intel Classic Season 2, losing to by.hero in his first round.

The last two players are Kkong_V and Puma. While the aforementioned only holds one ProLeague match (a loss), By.Puma has represented eSTRO in ten.
