On December 17th, 2011, it was announced that PuMa would be attending,[5] but he wasn't listed in Blizzards HomeStory Cup IV announcement on December 29th.[6] Even though Revival qualified through the Korean Qualifier by placing 2nd, he was not listed in the Blizzard announcement either.[6] TaKe later said that PuMa was not attending because he wanted to participate in the preliminaries for Code A of the 2012 GSL Season 1.[7] DeMusliM canceled due to illness, DarkHydra would be his replacement.[8] White-Ra had to cancel too,[9] he would be replaced by PoYo.
