Every player who wants to apply for NationWars has to have been Grand Master or been in WCS in 2014. Some exemption could be accepted for countries who do not have enough players. Then, the community gets to vote for the best players of each selection, and give them a chance to stand for their country and colours! Votes will occur from the 30th of April to the 3rd of May.
3 players will represent each country.

I only have one question though, you state that the "community gets to vote for the best players of each selection" which implies that you are preselecting out of the players that have applied to play, right? If that is the case, how exactly are you planning on "preselecting"? What are the criterias who gets in and who gets out?
this is so exciting and awesome!
