Yeah I'm also confused, why did G5 get invited? I've only seen him on TL, didn't know he was good enough to qualify for this :O

another tournament with a ladder stage, great! (this was sarcastic for those who didn't notice)
I don't wanna be offending against anyone but isn't it a bit silly to let the ladder stage take part even though another ladder stage of another tournament is taking place parallely?

we have 24 invited players!!! only 8 qualify through ladder and the ladder is only 1 week long... what more do you want?!?! there should always be at least a small portion being laddered as it allows newcomers to get in on the action of playing the big fellers!

Can people play the ladder stage before the get accepted to the team ? or do they have to wait until they get accepted to the ladder team?

Why can't you have a ladder as a qualification tournament? :S If you mean a single elimination tournament instead of a ladder, then you need to consider the advantage of a ladder is that it allows for more players to have a chance to play, since they can make their own schedule on a ladder. An elimination tournament with 200 people would have millions of issues with schedules.

because EVERY tournament is having these little ladder stages and they're all overlapping and happening at around the same time. SCL, ASL, VAL, and now this one... before that there was Stamina. people are gonna end up suiciding because of too much bw.
