National Qualifiers[edit]

A number of 40 nations have been announced to participate in the event.[6] However, the list of participating countries has not yet been released. No information is available about the Qualifiers on the IeSF website, so the following information may not be accurate.

The following nations will have a national StarCraft 2 qualifier:

United States United States(e) Zerg IdrA Protoss Agh US Qualifier
  • (a): Bulgaria will not send Kalin to Korea because of passport issues, and will instead send a player with a valid passport. The Bulgarian e-Sports Federation is blamed by the players for their bad organization.[7][8] The only available information about the qualified player is pictures, but no name.[9] The StarCraft 2 player has been identified as Petko "Kose" Dilchev (Петко "Косе" Дилчев).[5]
  • (b): Due to poor communication between the Greek IeSF representative and the official winner of the National Greek Qualifier, as well as the latter being too young of age, it was decided that Moutas would represent Greece.
  • (c): On September 27, it was announced that there wouldn't be any Korean players competing in the tournament, because the KeSPA doesn't recognize StarCraft II.[10]
  • (d): A StarCraft II qualifier was announced to take place on July 9, but not any results have been published since. It is most likely that Sri Lanka will have no StarCraft II representant at the World Championship.
  • (e): IdrA and Sheth will be participating in IPL 3, scheduled from October 6 through October 9.
