I see Flash in the participant page, I hope the previous IEM champion is seeded into Stage 2... or given a wildcard spot. If they are trying to get as many people to buy tickets and watch the stream, they should do whatever it takes to get Flash & Jaedong to IEM.

popularity in foreign lands maybe? these are some of the best koreans that battle in foreign lands after all

and they are all in the top 8 of WCS points meaning they are the absolute best 8 players in the world

so its only seems fair that they get seeded into stage 2, and bypass the initial stacked qualifiers for stage 1 which many GSL koreans will have to go through

I was hoping to watch the qualifiers, but if there are no players, I'm not sure I can expect a stream....

IEM qualifiers have always produced amazing games, sometimes even better than the games at the actual event. Really looking forward to this, and hope my favourite koreans are participating.

Seems like the system using a collective Asian qualifier has made the non-korean asian players stop playing in the qualifiers.

Fuck yeah! Korean qualifiers <3. I always like these more than the actual tournament. Only problem is having to wake up 4:00 AM to watch them.
