True, but the investment can be well worth it for players who think they could do well. And least you only have to advance I think 2 or 3 rounds in the offline qualifier to get 600$ which at least covers part of the travel.

That's assuming they have the funds to invest to get there in the first place I guess. Although I doubt Zest or TY are short of any right now
edit: theres just so many players I'd wanna see there for only 12 qualifer spots. it's a shame the KR qualifier is played before the EU/NA one. Having TY, Inno, soO etc qualify beforehand would make this one way easier.

You only have to get top 44 which I think is past the losers round 2 or something like that to get paid 600 which Zest and most other top Koreans should be able to do. Hopefully if he fails to qualify he at least signs up for that since there isn't much else offline to play in.
Damn small mistakes seem to just be killing him right now like engaging right before 1-1 in game 1 against aLive. Oh well, still a bit hopeful for the 2nd qualifier because his form doesn't seem to be bad and he is losing very winnable games.
Seriously KT teamkill again. At least Stats is in the bottom half. I expect whoever wins between TY and Zest to win the top half at least, they are ahead of any of the other players.
If they fall to the lower bracket they'll have to face Stats or INno or Nerchio as well
