What indicates a "suitable substitute"?

I was wondering that too. Lets say MVP wins Blizzcon, now he would have the GSL and the blizzcon spot.

I personally hope that gsl just trys to send the best players with focus on those who compete in the gsl and not just trys as hard as possible to get foreigners into this tournament.

I think they should keep an eye on maintaining balance.

If 8 Koreans make the cut and one drops out, I'm not opposed to choosing a non-Korean player as long as he has the qualifications/achievements.

and again, there's lots of possibilities to use legitimate results as a decider:

1st place MLG 2011 ranking
1st place GSTL individual player
1st place IEM Guangzhou
1st place NASL
1st place ESCW
2nd place IEM New York
2nd place Blizzcon
3rd place MLG Providence
4th place GSL


1st place at NASL season 2
2nd place at NASL season 2

Those two should definately be qualified for this if the season 2 ends before this tournament.

Hm, I can think of 4 possible reasons NASL isn't included:

1) regular season ends halfway through November and no one knows when the finals are held - GOM needs finished dates to schedule.

2) GOM does know the final dates, but they are too close to the Blizzard Cup or simply too late

3) Mr Chae was involved in the failed negotiations of Korean players with NASL and he (and by extension, GOM) doesn't want a partnership with NASL at this point.

4) GOM considers the 7 franchises chosen (GSL/MLG/IEM/DH/IPL/WCG/Blizzcon) as bigger than NASL.

It's important to note that they did have prior partnerships with some of these.

I hope to god you're getting rid of Code S and Code A nonsense and are going with the more standard OSL/MSL formats of running a tournment.

What if all 10 players are Nestea and MVP? Replacing one or two for duplicates will be OK but maybe they should just play a best of 99 for the prize as the only game if this happens?

sounds to me like only the same old guys weve seen so many times will get to play.
i want (at least the chance) to see trimaster or polt-like run from out of nowhere, i wanna see the all times ro16 guys pulling their act together!
All what KT currently needs is a Zerg and a second Terran

Why leave out Winner of IEM Guangzhou IDRA just out of the door. He should auto qualify


They only invite the Winners of real tournaments! If they invite the Winner of IEM Guangzhou they also need to invite the Winner of CraftCup EU #37.

so.. iem NY vs iem guangzhou

which in your eyes is more "real"

TROLL.

The same way why invite from latest MLG and not one before ? If we are looking for most prestigious IEM this year then IEM Cologne would be the one to pick.

..huh?

only MLG providence winner/runner up is going which is the MLG championships therefore biggest event for them...

the IEM choice is completely arbitrary.

It is seems arbitrary with the pick of IEM NY, does not mean it has to be, you could look at which IEM had the toughest players and it would stop being completely arbitrary (only the judgment of which players are better would remain somewhat arbitrary), but I get your point. And I understand why theoretically MLG Providence is used, but my point was that if they try to get best players of the year there is no reason to think that Providence will have best participants of all MLGs this year.

Also all chosen tournaments are wholly (except qualifiers) live whereas NASL is for most part online. That might also be behind the decision.
