Yea there are two different qualifiers. One to determine a United Stages Champion (since this event is in NYC) and the other standard cup that follows the same rules as all the other previous qualifiers we have run.

Best of 1 in all rounds until the Round of 64 players is reached. At round of 64 and higher is a Best of 3. Once Round of 8 is reached the matches end, and the 8 players then move to Stage 2.

stage 1 for American Qualifier, it says it's a 64 players bracket but bo1 until RO64.. so all matches are bo3 since it starts at RO64?

also :
Once Round of 8 is reached the matches end, and the 8 players then move to Stage 2.

in the graphic, it says only 4 players qualify to stage 2

12 invites out of 16 players in the stage 2 seem to be a lot. I know it's the same for all regions but still, 50/50 at least would be nice.

Anyway, gogo Goswser for the american champion !

The bracket is 64 man bracket as default but it is allowed to grow. In the event that we get more than 64 players sign up all rounds bigger than 64 will be best of 1s.

And yes only 4 players can qualify into it. The remaining 12 will be invites to fill a 16 man bracket. It said 8 from a previous paste. But I have fixed it. Thanks!

You probably didn't add the newly formatted one.
Go here http://www.nationalesl.com/us/sc2/1on1/nyc1/add_gameaccount/ and select Starcraft 2 Americas
Now to enter the correct information in the value box you'll need to go to http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/ and log in. Near top right hand corner you will see your Starcraft 2 portrait and user name. Click the down arrow next to your username and select "Profile"
If you look at the url at the top of your browser now it should look something like: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/profile/734635/1/pHaRSiDE/
You will want to copy and paste that into the value box on the gameaccount page on esl and then add the starcraft 2 character code after it. For example my account is pharside#358 so the data entered into the box would look like this:
http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/profile/734635/1/pHaRSiDE/#358 click send and then you are done!

Hope this helps!

There is an open bracket at the actual Lan event but I don't know for sure how big it will be. Usually its only 16 players big.

Can confirm it is 16 players

The makeup of these players is still to be fully confirmed, but it will definitely cater to local players!

I have mine added exactly like that, but I'm getting the error message "Registration not possible as you do not meet all the league requirements." Why is that?

I am so confused. I could sign up for the US champ cup, but not the open one? ESL website is marvelous.

"waiting for an admin to add you" for the first 1
"Registration not possible as you do not meet all the league requirements." for the 2nd
