I was about to ask this. A 5-2 win against NS.HoSeo is really fucking solid.

I agree that the qualification selection process seems a bit ridiculous. It's essentially just an invite tournament disguised as semi-open qualifiers. And then letting each team play in the 2nd qualifier if they already played in the first? Better to just call it an invite tournament, don't see the point in trying to mask it as something else.

It would be nice to have any team with 5 players to just sign up, but there are time constraints I believe. For the IPL 3 qualifiers, there was a $20 entry fee to weed out people who would not take the games seriously. However, that was Bo3.

This qualifier will be Bo9. From watching the Team Arena, a Bo9 between most teams could last 2 to 3 hours. With the sheer magnitude of matches, letting just any team with 5 players participate will not be feasible.

It is basically a semi-open qualifier, in the sense that there is a barrier for unknown teams. It's a pity, but letting any team just sign up would take too much time.

The problem I have, is that the selection criteria seems VERY random.

You have CyberNation, who to be honest, has nobody other than SarenS (who hasn't shown much in the past months)
You have Dream Team Gaming who, while I love JM and what he's doing, is essentially a lesser developed version of my team.
You have ANZAC who I literally can't find a shred of information about (though from what I gather it's an Aussie/NZ team)
You have LighT who is the newest team on the block (well, it's essentially KiwiClones, so that's pretty justified)
NrG has Luckyfool.

mTw, NSHoSeo, Incredible Miracle, ZeNEX, x6, It'sGosu, Infinity Seven and ROX.KIS and eSahara all speak for themselves.

Out of those teams you mentioned i would put ANZAC and LighT as the two clear strongest with ANZAC slightly ahead perhaps.....also forgive my lack of knowledge but what team do you run and who are the players??

I don't have any problem with LighT being chosen, as Kiwiclones was a very strong team.

ANZAC, however, I literally cannot find any information on them whatsoever.

Nothing comes up no matter where I look, except that the name is a common acronym for Aussie/NewZealander Communities.

For the record, I work with Team Clash.

I don't have the exact roster in front of me, but ANZAC is the SEA Dream Team including Moonglade, Targa, YoonYJ, JazBas, iaguz, and basically all of the best players from the SEA server. To keep them out would basically snub an entire region, and they have some great players.

Edit: Added imba.FXO, as they were accidentally left off of the accepted teams for the qualifier. My mistake!

I wasn't aware they had all come together like that, as far as I knew iaguz and YoonYJ are on aLt and Targa is on infi right?

Anyway, it makes a lot more sense now, but I just couldn't find anything even close to a roster, thanks for the info.

Yeah basically the clans they are in only really count in SEA, and some players like tgun (and Azz used to be) are on teams in NA (It's GoSu). The servers kind of have their own systems and not all players from a SEA clan will play on NA so we formed our own team to compete in international events representing the SEA team where otherwise we wouldn't have anyone. For those interested here is the roster (most have liquipedia pages if you care to find out more about them).
