edit: Oh I see, there's a load of Non-NA players competing in the NA bracket knowing it's EZ. TeeHee. I'd go compete in the EU bracket at this rate. | ||

Most of the NA players come from the places 9th - 80th, which includes the open bracket. And because MLG is happening in NA, the NA guys could attend the open bracket, because it cost them less money than the EU guys. | ||

This is stupid. NA should get the most qualifiers with Korea. It's a NA tournament after all and it's always going to have by far the most participants due to if you get 9-80th championship stipulation. | ||

Whoever wins the online qualifier gets their flight to NA paid for. | ||

Just think it's a bit embarassing the tiny turnout in the EU bracket. If it's Invite Only do MLG just not have a clue and invited no-one or did everyone turn the opportunity for a free flight to the US down? | ||

They only invited the top 9-80th from MLG Winter championship to this invite only qualifier. This means there will be less Europeans b/c less europeans attend the championship event. The only other way to get an invite to this qualifier is to play in the open qualifer that was held earlier. | ||

"Invitational" is not the best word for this tournament. 100% of the players qualified for this on merit. Either doing well in Winter championships or the online qualifiers. Nowhere in the process for the Spring season did MLG decide who to invite. | ||

It's called invite qualifier, but that doesn't mean MLG invites anyone just out of nowhere. Players have to achieve certain conditions to participate. So EU players had to: -Place Top 8 in the EU open qualifier -Place between 9th - 80th at the Winter Championship -Be an player from MLG Winter Arena that has not participated in the Winter Championship | ||

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. | ||
