It certainly doesn't look like it - IEM is hard pressed to fill the group stages already, let alone have 8 decent players pass through the Open Bracket so I'm sure they'd be showing all the players they can at this point. | ||

Also some players in the group stage have withdrawn so there may open up even more spots. SEA favorites to qualify from the open bracket would be Mafia and Ninja | ||

I do think this tournament is not bad at all, although the amount of players not going is disappointing. i mean, Luficron, Zenio, Sting, MC, Oz, Yugioh, Grubby, White-RA, Vortix, Revival are all strong players. And players like HasuObs, KingKong and StarDust among others can be strong as well. Definitely gonna be a fun tournament. That being said, i have no idea how much i'll miss because of the times... Dreamhack is obviously much more convenient to watch as an European. ^^ However, given this apparently starts at 4 a.m. CET, perhaps it'll run for long enough to watch at least the later stages of the tournament days. | ||

They were planning to fill eight spots, so that's a great way to determine two spots in each bracket through double elimination. If you do less brackets, you might have some good players meeting early and knocking each other out. It doesn't really matter since the good players will make it anyway now, and since they're 10 open spots there's even more chances to qualify. LOL that HasuObs is now in the tournament after flying there as a caster, that's almost White-Raesque. Guess it does make a small amount of sense since he did play in the EU qualifier but it's still a bit ridiculous to see how many players dropped out. | ||

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. | ||

It really is hard to imagine a worse time to broadcast. The wee hours in america and the middle of the working day EU (I'm at work, too=). + The GSL is on. But what are you gonna do, with time zones and stuff. Still I guess the scene is a little over saturated with events. | ||
