What annoys me is the players who didn't participate. From the NA qualifiers none of the 3 qualified players elected to participate. Golden, Killer, and Idra all dropped out, after being invited to stage 3 of the qualifiers and participating in them. So of the 3 qualifier spots for America we only have one player who actually came, which was StarDust Light who was replacing one of the 3 players who dropped out without even listing a reason. The other 2 'American' qualifier spots were given to non Americans, Hasuobs and Tarantius.

What annoys me is professional players blaming tournament organizers for theit invitations. As unprofessional and rude it might be to accept an invition to a later qulification stage, actually qualifying and then not showing up, I think its even more unprofessional to blame the organizers.

Who to blame for tournament organization besides the organizers? The organizers aren't to blame for the iem american qualified players not coming, but I think they shouldn't invite people to stage 3 without confirming if they will be able to attend if they qualify first.
