Can all teams participate in both qualifiers?

Yep! Except for the two that qualify, obviously. =P

Were there qualifying games played before that, or did IGN go through the list and pick the teams they judged to be the most well known or famous? Since you can play in both qualifiers, should we just accept that Qualifier #2 is going to look the exact same as qualifier #1? Or will IGN accept the teams that (say...) make the round of 8 here, (plus two of the best first round losers, even) and then add 6 new teams to the list?

It'd be great to see some new blood here, I'm a huge fan of this league because of how wide a net you guys are throwing, and hopefully you'll throw it even wider for qualifier #2. There are some good teams out there with little international recognition that deserve a shot here, I think.

Depends on if they applied, of course, but it'd be neat to see a little turnover.

I would like to know the criteria teams were accepted based on, as rejected teams were not notified whatsoever.

IM did not respond to the invite by the deadline, so it was assumed that they were not interested and the spot was given to another team.

We evaluated each team based on subjective factors like working relationship with the IPL, depth of roster, players that are recognizable to the community, and projected ability to provide great quality games. We wish we could accept every team but that just isn't feasible considering the time intensive nature of the qualifier.

I think that there should be at least 32 teams in the qualifier. A qualifier is an opportunity for teams that don't have the reputation that the top teams have to try to play and beat the best. Only having the top 16 teams undercuts this point entirely. This looks more like an invitational than anything else. Adding more teams would hopefully add an element of a true underdog. Im not under any impression that any team could beat a team like IM, but I think that they at least deserve a shot to play. And there is a one in a million chance that IM is upset. And how awesome would that storyline be?

Really cool to see other Korean Teams like NSHS and Zenex signing up to be apart of this. I think it really speaks for the quality of the tournament. The qualifiers alone are something i'm super stoked for, I can't wait for the main event!

I'm not going to lie, it's very frustrating as a team manager to not receive any notification that we WEREN'T chosen for the qualifier.

I might be a little biased, but I felt very put out by the apparent selection process for these teams.
