So I have a question. How are WCS points for the 5 open bracket people assigned? Are they considered seeded, meaning they must advance a series to get points, or are they considered qualified meaning they get points regardless? This is largely meaningless but, for example, just by existing in Shenzhen today and beating AK in a bo5 Bistork has more WCS points than Creator, or NXZ, or Elazor, or plenty of other people and that just FEELS wrong
Well, they advanced one round technically, so they got their 125.

But with no possible way of NOT advancing is that really advancing a round at all?

Why is this tournament held at a place like Shenzhen anyway?
|
3/4 chinese player in chinese IEM and only 1 german @ IEM gamescom )= I guess they invited 1 chinese player and had a chinese qualifier since they knew there wouldnt be many players for the open bracket ^^

They entered the Open Bracket and went to the group stage. If they didn't get points for that, it'd effectively be penalizing them for other people not making it to compete.

That's pretty common practice with IEM. The host nation usually gets one spot specifically for players of that nationality, and then there are separate Asian/AM/EU qualifiers

What's the answer to 99 out of 100 questions?

At a Chinese LAN, I can believe that the Internet is flimsy enough to be knocked out by the force of hype alone.

Because Shenzhen Cartoon and Animation Festival.
It's not like if they have held tournament in Beijing or Shanghai, it would have suddenly been smoother than Proleague.

What? They had 1 qualifier spot for China in addition to the separate chinese portion of the asian qualifiers. I must not understand what you're trying to say

Well, it's in a huge metropolitan area just North of Hong Kong so a lot of people to go. Also, fun fact, one of Blizzard's largest investors, Tencent, is located in Shenzhen. They also own Riot games

They don't reserve invites for specific reasons. Jim was probably invited for the same reason Heart was: He was the best player on one of the few teams willing to send their player to Shenzhen.
