You seemed to forget how terrible it was last years when MLG and IEM invited a bunch of star players straight into the main event without having qualifiers.
I am still not fine with these invites but it is better then it was last years.
I really hate when guys like herO, Hydra, Solar and Check made it to the semis and finals of almost every prelims and still did not attend any major event...

This invite-based qualifier system is such unfair BS. -.- It makes me sick to the stomach every time an IEM comes up. WHY would you invite Revival and Oz? Dat EG money... It only helps the popular players get more popular and completely fucks up the unknown players which surpass these popular players in skill by so much. Do Oz/Revival really need even more free popularity and money? NO!
