ImageThe fourth and final NGL ONE qualifier was announced yesterday, this time a four participant mini-qualifier.

We were told before the qualifiers began that two discretionary slots would be put aside. Any player who the administrators felt deserved a spot in the league, but didn't quite manage to qualify, could be admitted regardless with the use of the two reserved spaces.

Now, the NGL has invited four players to compete against one another in a round robin scenario, this will decide who will take those last two spots in the league.

Fnatic's Hyo Sub 'FoCuS' Eom, who had a very tough run during the initial three qualifiers, has made the invite list. FoCuS was eliminated right off the bat during the first qualifier, in the second he was eliminated by his teammate Chul Woo 'Shy' Park, twice. During the third qualifier FoCuS was eliminated in the second round of the lower bracket.

Mousesports' Xiang 'TH000' Huang will also be participating, having missed both of the initial qualifiers as a result of the Chinese new year. TH000 was present during the third qualifier, but got knocked into the lower bracket by Min Hyuk 'MinHyuk' Jo in round one and out of the tournament by Samu 'BriNGeR' Riihelä in round three.

A now team-less Jae Wook 'Lucifer' Noh also made the qualifier list. His initial qualifier attempt went quite well, but was edged out by Daniel 'LiiLD.C' Claesson in the semi-finals, he skipped the second qualifier and was eliminated by Aleksandar 'Aca' Zivkovic and Kejing 'Like' Li in the third.

ALTERNATE's Marc 'yAwS' Förster is the fourth competitor to have been invited to qualify, after a rather impressive performance during the third qualifier. Wins over Jae-Hyuk 'SouthSea' Lee, Sung Hyun 'Space' Park and FoCuS put the German human over the top, now an equally strong performance on Saturday should see him right into the league.

The matches start tomorrow at 14:00 CET, there will be six matches total. The two players to accumulate the most wins will be admitted into the next NGL ONE season.
