GomTV GSL News: First Preliminary Round Complete for Season 2  | read this item

The first day of the gomtv gsl season 2 qualifiers are complete. Now we know the first 16 players that are going to be taking part in the broadcasted part of GomTV’s Starcraft 2 GSL Tournament. A couple of names, particularly IdrA, have made it in among the non-Koreans. However, at the same time, some more names didn’t quite make the cut into the Starcraft 2 Tournament.

Among those that got knocked out this time around include GomTV’s english commentator Artosis (who did make the cut last year). In addition to him, a couple other names that were hopefuls coming in also got eliminated. Luffy and Moon, that latter of whom made the transistion from WC3 to SC2.

Just a reminder that this is the first set of players to be qualified for the RO64 matches that will start on October 18th. There are still 3 more days of qualifiers before we’ll get our complete bracket going into the live broadcasts.

As a side note on the Starcrafting Forums side, we’re looking to setup fantasy brackets for this season of GomTV. Much like the setup of NCAA Basketball’s March Madness. You can show your interest and give comments at http://starcrafting.com/forums/showthread.php?t=300
