That's 9 Koreans, and the Chinese will be MacSed, Comm, Jim, Top and XY, that's 5, makes 14 total.  Insane.... the code A looks allmost harder then code s  | ||

It will be interesting to see if MLG actually schedules around Dreamhack for the Challenger league qualifier. Many of the Koreans in the Challenger league qualifier are headed over for that. They also probably need to get it done this week because actual NA Code S matches begin being played next week. | ||

I'm sure die-hard fans get off on seeing their favorite korean players, but the lack of participants from NA, China or anywhere other than Korea is pretty boring. | ||

Taeja and Hyun can't play in the Code A qualifier because they didn't finish in the top 40 of the Code S qualifier. Same with Jim, Comm, and XY. | ||

The 2 we aren't sure of yet are the winner of Alive/Macsed and the winner of Heart/TOP. Unless people were lying, we know those results, guess and you will be correct if you think there will be even more anger@Branman, i think taeja and hyun are already invited to it, which is why hyun was dq'd | ||

That would make zero sense. The whole point of the Code S exception for Taeja and Hyun was to allow them to qualify for Code A this season in the reason they're switching to, so if they can manage, they can be in Code S for the new region next season. Also, there's the screenshot of that MLG admin telling Chinese players who were left out that they can seed them into the Code A qualifiers to compensate. | ||

They've already stated the rules that the 40-9 in today's qualifier would go onto the NA Code A qualifier. Including them would once again be a huge violation of their own stated policy. | ||

You don't seem to understand the rules for this very well. He was DQ'ed because he is actually only allowed to play in the Code A qualifier, like Taeja. | ||

If they do that, then it will be complete bullshit to favor players who didn't play in the tournament with their stated rules over actual North Americans who did.

If I want the best players in the world, I go to GSL. I don't want those players jumping ship for NA. It just leads to two diluted tournaments anyways. Quality overall goes down everywhere, and we have no national people to cheer for. Meh. | ||

It's so weird, when you consider that the challenger league qualifiers for EU will be open. Also 9th-40th is 32 players, perfect for a bracket. | ||
