It really dissapoints me to not see up and coming top NA players like Quanitc Glon on that list. Instead Korean pro gamers? In NA?

also @DeMusliM will now be joining us as one of the 32 - we had a cancellation...

Alright, this is going to be on page 30 or something but I hope some people will really see it because there are so many weird things being thrown around in here...

The way the invites have worked for North America is like this:

There are 24 invitations total. 16 of those invites were supposed to be going to American players (this includes Mexico, South America, etc.) and those are the following:

+ Show Spoiler +
The remaining 8 invitations were given to non-American players (Korea, Europe, etc.). Those are these:

+ Show Spoiler +
These 2 categories people were done seperately and even if you're residing in North America you are not a North American player. A controversial one is that people are giving MLG a lot of flack for having invited Capoch, Maker and a few others instead of DeMusliM but it's completely irrelevant based on how the system works. DeMusliM does not belong in that category, but he belongs between the last 8 invitation spots.

The non-American invites are 5 Koreans, 2 SEA people (TW and Australia) and 1 European. It's very clear that regions have been a factor as well as skill. I don't think the invitation is supposed to be stating that mOOnGLaDe is better than all the other contenders there were, but they were trying to distribute it to all regions so they wouldn't just invite 8 Koreans. What you can discuss is whether or not there should have been a different distribution and this is where a player like DeMusliM comes to mind for me. I could see it making sense removing a Korean invite (which in this case probably would have been Ryung) and given one more to Europe (DeMusliM or Stephano, but I assume Stephano would have gotten it if he had wanted it but he chose WCS EU).

Did the players know about these caps when they made the decision on what region to play WCS in? People understand the need for invite systems for the first WCS. The question is if the players were given enough information from Blizzard before they made the decision.

What competition was the seeds given out on? If it's purely based on WCS then Demuslim should've gotten a seed in the EU division over either HasuObs or ThorZaIN and MaNa and TitaN who finished the same as Demuslim. Even if its based on all tournaments, some of the invitees are (excuse my language) fucking horrible and makes no sense at all.
