I can't find any reference to an official statement about it. I'd like Dark to participate, but usually I can fine references to such things other then liquipedia, | ||

Not just the ping being generally high but also instable, i. e. lots of lag issues. I hope it doesn't affect this tournament too much. That kind of stuff is really annoying. Me too, but it will. Its not just been an odd day or two, its been a worsening issue for months. Its very difficult to work around | ||

Usually Naruto seeds players with his own system. He takes alligulac ranks/points and the WCS/EPT ranks/points weights them somewhat and seeds players into pools from that (probably 4 (or 2) pools). Then each group gets 1 (or 2) players from each pool randomly. Don't know if he did it for this cup too, but i think it is likely. | ||

Well Neeb and Clem in the same pool as Skillous and TLO looks like EPT Points only to me. Edit: Parting is the lowest in EPT rank from all Seed 1 players in the Groups and Cure the higgest in all Seed 2 Players. 2nd Seed ends with Harstem and 3rd Seed with TLO. So yes its only EPT points this time and no Alligulac/ WCS 2019. | ||

Just the combination of the invited to qualified ratio and the ongoing issues with the NA server are kinda offputting. Well it depends, on how many points the player get I think. If its like Asus Rog last summer and isn t making a real difference anyways, it s fine for me, just a little bonus on top of an awsome event. If it s worth like half an ept major, I defnatly agree. I can understand that Bunny gets invited to an HSC, because of history. But if its worth more points, I d want the best players there instead. | ||

I suppose ASUS didn't affect things much since it only gave WCS points to non-Koreans and the majority of the Ro16 and onward was Koreans. But if it gives Global EPT points that count into both standings, I think that might warrant revoking the ruling that Super Tournament 1 gives 0 points | ||
