By virtue of pure bad luck (and bad bracketing) we could see most pros eliminated on one side of the bracket and then the other side with only lower level players... I don't know why so few good players chose to participate. Maybe they are waiting till the last seccond? | ||

It would be great if they seeded some of the better players like dimaga, thorzain, demuslim, nightend, lalush, minigun, destiny, lowely and the koreans. Because there aren't that many great players participating, as of yet, it would be wise to increase their chances. | ||

How exactly it will be done hasn't been announced but NASL is trying to make sure pro-players aren't knocking each other out in the first few rounds. Though there are already around 28 or so notable pro/semi-pro gamers signed up and I forsee that number going to 32+ by Monday. So the chances of having someone with lower skills qualifieing in what will probably be a 256-man tournament is looking pretty slim to none. | ||

Ace is in the playoffs! I do think there is some confusion with some of the current players that have been relegated about which NASL tournaments they can enter. If KIMSUNGJE is Rainbow that's the third pro from this season that's gotten confused between the open and next seasons qualifier. First one (open) they can't enter and the second one they can but it won't be played for a couple weeks and has no sign-ups yet. | ||

 He did pretty damn well in the season. Hopefully he will make it but it is very unlikely.I'm also glad people are saying there is some kind of seeding. I'm not sure if it is true or how they will even do it, but I think even separating people who are clearly known to be pros would be a good idea. | ||

b. Check-in will begin at 18 CET (12pm EST), and end at 18:45 CET (12:45pm EST) _______________________________________________________________________ The check-in still happens on Monday? If I miss the check-in, I'm disqualified from the tournament? Since the tournament will actually start on the 22th, I think a lot of players might miss the Monday check in ^^ | ||
