Korea's team for the upcoming StarsWar tournament will consist of eight players. Four of them were handpicked while the other four qualified through a tournament.
Korea is by many considered as the best nation out there when it comes to Warcraft 3. Later this year they will test their power against China and a European team in the fourth edition of StarsWar. Up until yesterday their roster for StarsWar only consisted of four players - namely FoV, Moon, Lucifer and ReMinD. Through a qualifier that has been played over the past few days another four players qualified for a spot in the Korean team.
The qualifier started off with 19 players divided into four groups where top two from each group advanced to a double elimination playoff. One of the players that advanced to the playoff was Zacard, who unfortunately had to forfeit his position due to his upcoming army service. He was replaced by the third placed player in his group - Susiria.

A total of eight players participated in the playoff, which ended when four players were left; Susiria, SoJu, Shy and ReiGn. A notable sidemark is that ReiGn (picture) went through the qualifer without losing a single map, thus ending up with a map score of 12-0. This makes the Korean team for StarsWar, which will take place in Shanghai later this year, containing only Night Elf and Undead players.
