Which part? The part where you comply about the low EU turnout when unusual players have qualified from the Open Online Qualifiers, the rest of the invited players for the Invite Only are people who were at the championship. The qualified players deserve a shot because they won, we have to stop seeing the same players over and over again. I want to see Fraer, Tefel and other newcomers instead of the rotting Strelok (though very nice) or any of the copycat Empire Terrans. Id est : System working as intended. I agree that roof, Seiplo & Fraer deserves a chance to show just how good they are, but this system is pretty conservative, I would say. You have 8 qualifiers from an open qualifier, and then you have the 'good ol' boys' of past participators of MLGs (in other words, the people who won the winter qualifier have a massive advantage over the spring qualifiers). I see no reason not to include more people in the current qualifier, preferably in a system less random than this. Single-bracket systems are pretty terrible at ranking players by ability. The importance of a good draw and the variance of single bo3s make for a somewhat random outcome. That's another complain and I agree with you, even though the qualifiers were double elim. I'm an advocate of completely open qualifiers based tournaments. However people were complaining about the line up for EU because they didn't bother to inform themselves. That's not acceptable.
I think this would be insane. I would be like forcing Federer to play the Wimbledon qualifier. When you've reached a certain level you've earned the right not to waste tons of time playing random scrubs. It wouldn't be sustainable and people would not be interested in watching those matches.

+ Show Spoiler +Tefel is zerg. The terran list looks a bit funny with all the korean monsters, ThorZaiN and then GoOdy in it.

I guess we get to see whether SC2-viewers actually care whether their country is represented in the tournament or not (well, sans 1 very popular participant).

+ Show Spoiler + Pretty sick if that list on MLG site is true. .. 21 KR, 10 EU, 1 NA
And a lot of big names missing.... this could be a disaster for MLG?

.... that list is wrong..

Yup, unless MLG screwed up their own information, that's the list we're seeing at Spring Arena.

+ Show Spoiler +not sure what happened on the KR side, but sheth was eliminated by major in WB and huk in LB, huk was eliminated by tubbythefat in WB and sleep in LB.

cant believe aLive failed but his weaker team mate Rain made it through
some sick unlucky grid luck here, proves how volatile these kind of events are.

+ Show Spoiler +And again thank you mlg for putting Nestea vs MMA in the first round!
