Sixteen of the best players in the game's history that are still active and the currently top-ranked professionals were invited to take part in the event. The fact that legendary players like Ma "sAviOr" Jae Yoon, Lim "SlayerS` BoxeR" Yo Hwan or Lee "NaDa" Yoon Yeol are out proves how incredibly high the competition level is.

The quarterfinals will be played between:
Flash vs. Jaedong
Much vs. AnyTime
Berserker (Iris) vs. Bisu
Sea vs. stork

Every match of the tournament will be broadcasted to the international audience with commentary by Nick "Tasteless" Plott. The most revered StarCraft shoutcaster in the world took the time to predict the quarterfinals for SK Gaming:

Flash vs. Jaedong:
"I think this is going to be an incredible match. Althought Flash beat Jaedong in the tournament I still feel Jaedong is a stronger player, possibly the strongest in the tournament. Jaedong also beat Flash in the Starleague only days ago. I would put my money on jaedong."

Much vs. AnyTime:
"This is a tough prediction as it could go either way. Both players are very strong. I honestly can't say who will win this, they are both playing so well. This is going to be dead even."

Berserker (Iris) vs. Bisu:
"This will depend a lot on how aggressive Iris plays. Iris is known for his incredible aggression against good opponents. Bisu is ranked number one so I will have to go with him. Even though he's been weak vs Terran in this tournament."

Sea vs. stork:
"I hate to not pick a winner, but this match is SO difficult as well. Sea is stronger than ever before and Stork is simply a powerhouse. It could go either way."

The matches can all be viewed on the GOM TV website starting 10:00 CET on Monday.
