The slots are distributed considering the results and appearance during the recent Intel Extreme Masters events and seasons.
Example. If the two Americans will be placed first and second in Hannover America would have more slots for future events.

i think whitera really gave 3 games away

everyone knows he never makes phoenixes so hes open to drop harass for the _entire_ game, he never managed to stabilize 2 bases against sjows drop play which is a bit laughable imo

3rd game is xelnaga, almost undroppable that map

4th game he 4gates....

well it was late into the night but i was extremely underwhelmed by ra's performance in the final game

On the other hand, wow replays available for dl? Yay


"Poor Whitera"? Dude, it's okay if you're just not badass enough to not take FOUR tournaments in like 2 weeks. Even Whitera needs to deepen his medal repertoire! (with silvers!)

I kinda agree, it felt like he was trying to force something special against an extremely safe player.


Really really nice write-up btw

True.. he seemed really tired tough.. especially the three forcefields in his 4gate attempt in sjows base.. they seemed.. random.

We don't have an even distribution of slots between continents. Normally we look at prior results in ESL competitions (and others if we believe it would give us a better idea of the region's strength) and assign a slot number arbitrarily.

For this season the Americas received 2 slots (remember IdrA is counted as an Asian since he lives there), Europe 4 and Asia 5. The last, or rather first, slot was to be won in the Global Challenge in Cologne.

Thanks for your clear answer Carmac & KiNGxXx. Looking forward to the finals. Also I didn't know that foreigners currently living in Korea would be counted as Asians. Good to know.

Yeah, but if Idra was there I think he could have had a really big chance of winning.



Idra changed nationality? Last time I checked, USA was far from Europe.

But Idra played the American Qualifier, why is he counted as korean now? Isn't that competitive distortion?

Are you sure he played the qualifier? He was not in the online group stage http://www.esl-world.net/masters/season5/america_sc2/ , i don't know how the amaricans qualified for the online group stage but sounds strange that Idra didn't manage to qualifie there.
