He qualified for NA finals but could not attend due to other commitments in Korea. If he failed to qualify because of lack of skill that's one thing, but if he didn't qualify due to not being able to make it to NYC, that's quite another. | ||

To be fair, Idra withdrew from the US Qualifiers, so technically he didn't 'fail' to qualify. Source: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/IEM_Season_V_US_-_Regular_Season_Cup#Results | ||

weren't there like 4 or so online qualifiers where the top 4? or so qualify for an online group stage, then the top 2 guys from the each group go to a live lan in IEM new york? idra never won an online qualifier, he famously lost to silver in one of them, but after some drama about match reporting, he eventually qualified for the online group stage... but when it's time to play the group stage to qualify for the live event, he did a no show cuz he thought IEM new york conflicted with gsl or something... and bubba replaced him... then fenix and qxc took 1st and 2nd in IEM new york and qualified for NA.... so technically, idra never "failed" to qualify... not saying for sure he would have made it out of group stage if he played or won 1st or 2nd over fenix and qxc in new york either so since they are doing directly invites from korea.... inviting idra is perfectly fine and a very good choice for the fans...yup | ||

 Doesn't matter how he went out of the American qualifier, what matters is that he was participating. You can't just take part in a qualifier and not qualify and then get invited anyway, it's not fair to other Korean sc2 players nor is it fair to other American and European players. Personally I find inviting players to the IEM World Finals by itself being quite pathetic, everyone from the American and European qualifiers have been playing both online and offline since September(!) to qualify for these finals. Just because the ESL dont have the manpower or resources to do Korean qualifiers doesnt mean they should just invite whoever they want. On top of that they invite someone who has already tried to qualify... | ||

Same goes for Moonglade. Win their place in code A and withdraw? | ||

If a Code S player chose to come to the Intel Extreme Masters World Championship and missed a Code S match, he would automatically find himself in Code A. Therefore we were not able to invite any of the Code S players. | ||
