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. | ||

Why is the top 4 of Kiev going there (and the top 5 from Asia) but only the top 2 from America? 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. | ||

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. | ||
