Grubby in? Are you joking me? What exactly has he accomplished in Sc2. Really great work there. Maybe we should just add an entire division of Wc3 legends or legends from any other RTS. Doesn't even matter if they have ever touched Sc2.

Where is Dimaga?? :D Okay, bad joke....

Srsly, I think regardless of tomorrow's invites the organisers can be criticised because surely there will be non-invites (Morrow Sjow Thorzain Demuslim + all the super good S-class Koreans) that are way better than some of the invites (e.g. Dde, Vibe Moman Staflife Grubby).
In other words the number of the so-far-not-invited that are way better than Dde Vibe etc is larger than 5

Interesting mix of players, though missing plenty of deserving ones. Also, I am going to wonder when a StarCraft 2 tournament will actually implement a proper format for actually gauging skill.

Would be alright to watch, but it doesn't seem like it's worth the money at this point.

Sjow is in. If Demuslim is not in its only because of his injury.
I can somewhat understand the Thorzain concerns, but he should have played more tournaments to make more of a name for himself. His own fault.
I am quite certain that Morrow will be in (anything else would just be unexplainable).

No. This was a specific question in the Q&A thread.

- 34 players from the 50 stay (we agree on this)
- 8 players from the 1024 man open tournament qualify (see green L shaped line)
- There are open qualifiers (anyone who wants to try out can) and those are the 8 spots. The bottom 16 can make it back (purple requalify line) into the NASL by making it through the NASL qualifier (like code A try outs)

34 + 8 (from 1024 man tourny) + 8 (from next seasons qualifiers) = 50 season 2 NASL players.

We will also be hosting two tournaments that grant entry into Season 2.

The Open Tournament will be open to any player who is not currently in the league – the top 8 players in this tournament will qualify for Season 2 in addition to the winner being granted a spot in the Grand Finals of Season 1.

Lastly, we will host a Season Qualifier tournament from which the top 8 players will be given seats to Season 2. The Season Qualifier is open to any player who has not qualified for Season 2.

Both of these tournaments will be a single elimination tournament capped at 1024 players, in which all matches are best of three. These tournaments will have a small entry fee charged per player.

So the only open question is about the next season qualifiers.
From the picture I thought the next season qualifiers consist only of the bottom 16 of he first season, and the top 8 of these go back into the league. This would effectively mean a tornover of 8 players per season.

If I understand you right, your opinion is that there will be more people than these 16 in the next season qualifiers. How many? Where will these players come from, and what will the format be?
Can you give a link to the part in Q&A where this was answered?
