The WCG ones are very similar to ladder versions, just forced cross position spawns, no golds, and different tilesets.

Why did so many qualify? :T

[FaDeBadger]

Cause it's top 8 from the 3 GPD's between Master's Cup. Hence 24 people qualify.

[ToRDjvillian]

Thanks but I wont be competing in the masters cup due to family.

[Kepler]

Ah ok, that makes sense.
