People say Idra is in a slump I dont know really for me it seems Idra didnt evolve with the zerg race at all. Micro/positioning, battle control and strategy/gamesence is much more important now then it was in the past and its something Idra is really lacking and he really needs to work on those aspects of the game. But Minigun really impressed me Im looking forward to IEM to see how fare he can go | ||

that's pretty disappointing for the NA scene sad to see that they play such a minor minor role internationally even in their own qualifiers  | ||

Killer, Demu and Violet didn't have to fight there way to the third stage. While they probably could have, there is a chance they wouldn't have. After all, Major lost in stage 1. I believe the rest of the IEM's have completely open brackets to qualify (at least I think it was that way last year, definitely for the Europeans), so that will give more NA hope. Edit: just checked, was mistaken. It was only completely open for the NA IEM, which was New York. Every other one had a final qualifier bracket with 4 invites. | ||

I'm fairly certain it will work the same as @ NY here, so open for local players. | ||

You should also consider that the ranking analyse players that played others IEM, KiLLeR qualified through the hardway once and after that he has been usually on top 4/top 8, and he usually have quite good results at the IEM's so I think that every invited player deserve their spot. Oh and btw, KiLLeR is playing beastly (beated the whole WCS Qualifiers and South america finals by 2-0), beated fenix 2-0 & 2-0, Idra 3-1 so I'm CRAZY to see KiLLeR vs Major (Terran,CuteAngel,etc) and Maker... and only after those games I'll see if he's actually playing better and can become the best in latinamerica, to compete against the best in the Americas. At the very least, it's a funny competition for the fans :D. I do hope he get the 1st place at cologne and then get top4 at the WCS Asia Finals, but if he doesn't get top 3 @ cologne my perspectives will change. And DAMN that's what i love about esports :D. | ||

Killer's always been the best SA player. I believe he got 3rd at IEM NY in addition to what you said. I wasn't necessarily complaining about the invite format, just saying a completely open qualifier would probably produce more NA players than this format. | ||
