Wait a second... So there is a chance to get Soulkey and sOs in MURICA? Do it, you woongjin players.

If Polt, Innovation, Bomber or Jaeodng qualify through the online qualifier, then Soulkey will get an invite to IEM NY if Woongjin will pay for his trip.

Because guess what was the prize from KeSPA to finalists of AIMAG (who did not get a chance to be at MLG Anaheim in trade for that) :D

but I don't see where they can be invited. The only invites are based on WCS point and sOs is only 10th. Everyone else need to qualify

I need help understanding the main tournament format. There are 16 players from stage 2.

4 WCS spots

2 spots in the European and African Qualifier Complete Naniwa and ForGG

3 spots in the American Qualifier

1 spot in the US Qualifier----------Today

2 spots in the Asia Final Qualifier
8 players in a double-elimination bracket.
4 players from the Korean and Taiwan Qualifier-----------today - (T)INnoVation(Z)Jaedong- (Z)Soulkey(T)aLive- (T)Mvp(P)HerOT)TaeJa(P)sOs +8 others
2 players from the South East Asia Qualifier
2 players from the China Qualifier
My first question is who are the other 8 players competing in the KR/TW qualifiers?
If a US player does not qualify through the US can they still qualify through Americas qualifier?
On the Main tournament how are the 16 stag 1 players chosen?

4 KR/TW (at the end of stage 2) + 2 SEA (at the end of stage 2) + 2 China (at the end of stage 2) = 8 players
those 8 players will compete in the "Asia Final Qualifier" for 2 spots to IEM

Never mind I am an idiot! I thought they were going to do the KR/TW round of 16 today. But they are doing Cup #1 in which 4 players will join the 8 listed in the round of 16. I miss read
IEM New York - Korean & Taiwan Qualifier - Cup #1 Stage 1

Top 4 qualify to Stage 2 with : (T)INnoVation - (Z)Jaedong - (Z)Soulkey - (T)aLive - (T)Mvp - (P)HerO - (T)TaeJa - (P)sOs

It still is odd that they have not realsed the bracket for Cup #1
Do you know if you fail to qualify through Cup 1 can you signup for Cup #2?

The seeds aren't for the main tournament, they're for the second stage of the qualifier. Nobody is guaranteed WCS points.

I look at the player list and then realize this is only a qualifier? dafuq? You'd think this was a community voted showmatch series or something if you only looked at the player list.
