MOD NOTE: The bracket on Liquipedia is not final and should be assumed to be speculative. If you are a competitor, trust what MLG Admins tell you over the bracket. |

Because that's how the format works.
Or as some parents tell their kids, because.

Yep. The NA Code S qualifier is also the NA Code A qualifier qualifier.

This "9-40 qualify for challenger division" thing--is it just me, or is there no "top 40" in this tournament? There is a round of 48, who play 16 games to get to a round of 32... who are the "top 8" among those 16 losers?

The top 8 qualify for the premier division Reading is hard. MLG will probably do the Winter Season Showdowns format, like 8 bo5s or something... Or there's 8 seeds that go to HyuN, TaeJa, and some other guys that are changing regions or something...

Thanks. What are the invites based off of? Some type of point system in previous MLG tournaments, prestige; maybe both?

Gotta love the shenanigans of this.
2-day exciting qualifiers! Day 1, find out the first 4 to qualify! Day 2, same thing!
Oh wait, out of nowhere, Day 2 = most important games held out (even though they're being played) so they can be casted from replay later, an idea nearly universally loathed by the entire community (and would seem the players wouldn't like it either).
Remember when we thought Sundance 'got it'?

Many Koreans will likely forefeit because they'll be at Dreamhack.

I find it funny how Slasher is so quiet while this whole mess is going on... He is usually quite vocal when tournaments screw up.
