Apart from the 8 paid trips, it's a standard DH open event. DH open never had qualifiers. There are 96 spots as always, but this year 8 are paid for, 88 players will have to pay themselves and request a spot. | ||

That country falls under Europe (as with previous WCS years - yes I'm aware its not physically in Europe) | ||

PiliPili had to play in the EU qualifiers... for some reason he couldn't play NA even though he lives here too | ||

No, just like DreamHack Open primarily has always been about open signups and on-site participation, IEM I'm sure will continue to be primarily online qualifiers with paid trips and its only 8 slots for each WCS 5,000 event that go to the passport qualifiers, so they can have 24 or however many other slots allotted however they prefer (of course I can't speak for them). You can see for WCS 10,000 events the breakdown of the 32 players is: Reserved Regional seeds The WCS Circuit Residency requirements apply to all spots. Some spots have additional regional residency requirements (8) Regional Challenger (2) Europe, Africa, Middle East (2) North America (USA, Canada) (1) Latin America (1) China (1) Oceania, Southeast Asia, Japan (1) Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau (14) Server Qualifiers (8) EU Server Qualifier 1st-8th (6) AM Server Qualifier 1st-6th (2) National Qualifiers Citizens from hosting nation eligible (8) WCS Standings Invites 2015 WCS Standings will be used for Winter Championship 2016 WCS Standings will be used for Spring and Summer Championship The server qualifiers are open for all WCS eligible players, so its not just citizenship based, etc. | ||

Masa had no chance to qualify for DH events last year too. Still sucks for him compared to the others, but at least it doesn't mean his whole sc2 career is basically over. I still don't like the system, but I'll take it. | ||
