I am totally cool with now that I see that it's a ranked invite system. I was under the impression that it was more a 'Who would be really cool to add to our league' sort of invite.

Crank is in the qualifier so I guess he has to start finding a team soon He'll probably be contacted at IPL5 depending on his performance. IPL5 is ages away, or so I hear? November is a while haha http://www.beyondgaming.com/competition/tournament/view/yeieo looking at who has signed up so far I think it'll come down to minigun, scarlett, crank, or trimaster. Did I miss anyone really big? There's definitely some other people in there that can pull upsets off these players but I feel like those are the top four signed up so far.
Well sC qualified for WCS Korea and has been code S before, none of the players you mentioned did that.
Also are there brackets?

Yeah but they announced the ranked invite system after the tournaments being considered were already completed. I <3 NASL but it seems like they probably just chose a system that would give them four fan favourites.

They did get 4 fan favourites though. However, when this system gives them some boring Koreans nobody is interested in, there might get some more flak

Which is why it will be interesting to see if they actually keep the system after this season. I hope they do but I will understand if they cave into the need for high profile players.

If you get enough points to be in the top 4, you are a fan favorite because it means you win (a lot)

That sure explains the top 5 streamers right now, Destiny, TLO, ProTech, KiLLeR and FitzyHere.
In other words, people don't only care about skill.
