yes but don't call it wild card cuz wildcards is the at-seattle runners up tournament. It's all on the announcement website and fairly simple.

The schedule will likely be "Get started on time or we simply move on without you" considering how many people it is.
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

It's the kinda of stuff that fixes what doesn't really matter anyway. Like the complaints about last years format, it wasn't very good for the 4th/5th place cutoff mark, but in every single qualifier the best teams ended up 1st and 2nd, which is what matters.

Whoever comes out of the open qualifiers, or whoever should have been invited but wasn't isn't really going to matter for the main event. It just pleases people.

Kaipi was only an issue because there were only 2 qualifiers. Last year format with a lot more teams already fixed that. Ti3 format wasn't that good, only 8 slots and cross regions with all its troubles.

Unless the amount of decent Dota 2 teams rises a significant number, I think everyone that has a shot will get an invite for the foreseeable future.

It's a lot harder for a team to uproot and move than any one person.
And if even one person on the team doesn't do well with the move and performs poorly, the whole team gets fucked right

If you think a team like HGT would dominate even NA, think again. China is nothing near SC2 Korea.

It's just quotes taken out of context. Colbert would also agree there are times to be skeptical. Just because you have to take risks in life doesn't mean you have to go full "SOLAR ROADWAYS ARE GOING TO SAVE THE WORLD WOOOO"

or "THIS SC2 DOCUMENTARY WILL BE AWESOME!"
