Best of 3 in all rounds.

In a Best of 3 map veto (removal and pick) system is used. The high seeded player(seeds can be found at round 1 on the grid page) decides who starts. Players take it in turn removing maps until only 3 maps remain in a best of 3. Then each player picks a map. Maps are played in order they are picked. The remaining map is played last.

Yeah, why was SEA excluded from this IEM?

All players have been announced.

SEA was not excluded from this tournament at all. What happened was that since there was only little time to announce and run the qualifier, it has been preferred to have the players selected based on their rankings instead of running a last minute qualifier that could have gone wrong. We apologize for such a thing happening and promise this will not happen again.

Well, a friend of me from SEA wanted to participate but now he didn't have a chance to. And why do you say "there was only little time"? There was the same time for every region. It seems that you just didn't take care of the planning for SEA as early as you did for the others. Anyway, I will remember your promise.
