Super happy to have TSL back, but the qualifers so far have been a mess (regarding format, schuduling and rules, great games though). | ||

Which means that if they qualify they'll drop out of the other qualifier after having knocked out some other players on the way there. | ||

Isn't he already qualified in the EU? | ||

It would make the series between them entirely meaningless for one. edit: Ok so they're both through now given that the loser in EU will just automatically qualify through NA. | ||

It would make the series between them entirely meaningless for one. Gotta clarify if Lambo qualifies directly from AM after he loses to Special in EU, causes that has implications for the third place match. Either he gets the spot directly from AM and the third place in EU qualifies, or he qualifies as second place in EU and the third and fourth of NA qualify. | ||

Either he gets the spot directly from AM and the third place in EU qualifies, or he qualifies as second place in EU and the third and fourth of NA qualify. Depends on the players. If they apply the rules consistently (which isn't a given) the loser of the EU winner's bracket finals would have the option to play in the EU loser's bracket. They can try to win the second seed in EU with the knowledge that if they lose they're going to qualify through NA. Why would they do that? Maybe to try to play kingmaker and help some of their friends qualify (i.e watch who gets to the Loser's Finals in EU and forfeit if they're your buddy, and beat them to open up an extra spot in NA if they aren't). But the most likely scenario is that SpeCiaL is just going to forfeit the EU winner's finals and the EU loser's bracket and automatically qualify through NA. | ||

I don't wanna sound rude but that's just pathetic, like quit hogging all the qualifier space and let others qualify for crying out loud Especially since Special had already qualified for the EU qualifier finals one before NA qualifiers even started, he could have dropped out, but decided to fuk up the NA seeding by running a qualifier he had no reason to run. This is why EU qualifiers and NA qualifiers should not overlap in either a) schedule date (not Special or Lambo's fault) or b) EU guys in EU qualifiers only, NA guys in NA qualifiers only | ||
