It would get kinda stale if we only watched the same group of players every time. Forever. | ||

We put a portion of passes to the side outside of public sale so that top players had a chance to purchase. This is how we have always operated the open bracket sales process. | ||

KESPA ran this qualifier, not MLG. This is how they decided who they would send to the event. | ||

But Kespa or eSF players could still buy regular passes like every other player would, right? At least from your side of things?(Kespa possibly limiting by themselves the amount of players they send out being set aside) | ||
