at the top you say Three players + 1 Canadian, but in the open qualifier, you say only Top 2 is qualified

also, I suppose there will be 8 invites to Stage 2?

Scarlett? I think she should just win the Canadian qualifier, it would be easier. (Or maybe she will and will be replaced here)
same for HuK obviously.

I don't think theres any rules against playing in both qualifiers, so why wouldn't they? They double there already pretty high chances of getting in.

That's a sick invite list! I'm so hyped for this.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)
