Exactly, I don't really get the point. It seems easier to just drop into the Up&Downs and then try to qualify in a big group stage instead of trying to battle through a bracket and then get dropped and have to do the exact same thing.

HuK eliminated in WCS Premier League, IdrA fired and retiring, Stephano retiring, Jaedong losing to theognis. Very harsh week for EG.

Dang, Theognis playing very well lately

It actually seems like that's what I'd shoot for. I can see why NA got the majority of the transferring Koreans. As long as you qualify (which should be/was insanely easy for them) and then making it utterly difficult to leave.
Its like we're in the first few season of Code S again, its actually easier to stay than it is to leave

Probably because Theognis tweeted this as a joke before the matches.

so is there any logical reasoning for having the format like it is where you can't be knocked out in round 1 of challenger league? also is EU like this as well or just AM?
