Good thing that there is an open qualification for this.
That way people like Diestar can qualify, which are actually really good but dont get invited to anything because they are no "big names".
Although a point system similar to TSL would have been even better.
edit:
And I am still somewhat mad that only ro16 is casted while there were so many good matches in earlier rounds. :/
TSL system was flawed... It got invites that underperformed.
I hope TSL 4 will be pure qualifiers only.

All the players in IPL season 1 were American right(or living in america)? So Diestar is the first European to make it into the IPL.
What are the odds all the qualifiers will be EU? 
Edit: Nevermind, it isnt possible. Just a shame the top dogs of EU didnt enter (so far atleast).

just wanted to say AskJoshy commentary is awsome.

how were the ro32 matchups decided? it's pretty sad that 2 players from top3 of that ro32 were matched against each other (nerchio vs ret).

The bracket looks pretty random. That's why some guys have an easy way through. That's the bad side of qualification over invites. Especially without seeding.

They won't. There are good na/sa players like fenix/tt1/sheth/ that will qualify. There propably will be more eu then na, but all? i don't think so

They'll just have to play another qualifier.. The competition looks pretty soft to be honest.

Yes the first qualifier didn't look so difficult. But I think a lot more very good players will try in the next tournaments. I think it's very smart to play the first qualifier.
I mean look at Destiny. What an easy bracket!^^

What is it 28 spots? Idra, kiwi and Select aside (as they are already in) i think it could have been all EU (or EU and Sen) if every top player entered.

They definitely should, it'd be silly not to.  Maybe it wasn't that well advertised?

Interesting game between LZ and Tarson, though Tarson's macro seems a hell of a lot better.
Both meching, LZ with a faster transition into air Tarson doesn't feel he can break him despite a solid ground advantage.
Probably a window for LZ's bc transition before Tarson catches up on air, but Tarson is definitely aware of it since he's dropped like 5 starports himself.

Even if Lz's mass air plan doesn't work here on Terminus, I'm thoroughly enjoying this game. Mass air vs mech, and now battlecruisers on the way out for Tarson? Hell yeah!
Now both have BCs!! LOVE IT!

Sexy tvt between Lz and Tarson

|
Hell yeah! That's TvT!

Who the heck is MillDieStar, and how did he beat TT1 3-0? o.O
|
Just flicked on to see if there were any good games going on.....
So many cattlebruisers?
Love it.

What a ridiculous game lol. Mass battlecruiser fights.
