Maybe he just doesn't want to go through the gauntlet of good players in the KR qualifers. Just qualify quickly and easily and take it easy for the rest of the week.

The korean qualifiers are pretty empty, it's a bit sad to see, especially the second one. There are only two competitive match to do, sometimes against a C or B tier players (gumiho, cyan, macsed, byul) and another against a top tier one, it would have been a cakewalk for maru. I rather think he wants to get used to play with ping.
Anyway, Vanya beat Solar and Zoun in na to qualify, that's good, spirit did a nice run too.

Gauntlet? Have you seen the KR qualifiers?
It's more of a cuddly, warm pillow than a gauntlet...

This is what you get for having up to 31 qualifier spots in open-region format, like pretty much every player in top 20 would be able to qualify at the end of the day. Like which big name left that might miss this tournament? MaxPax, Neeb and probably Time, and we still have up to 11 slots lefts. The competition among B-tier players will be fierce but thats about it. Maru probably got some plan this week and decided to spend the Sunday sleeping at home after the EU qualifier.

Yeah, MaxPax almost qualified over the Korean qualifier, do it was probably not the hard gountlet Maru wanted to avoid

Indeed the Korean qualifiers are so grueling, Maxpax had to defeat the well known players SeleiXi and ByuL to then face Zoun in the qualifying match. Maru really wants to avoid that in eu

Overthinking, it doesn't matter which qualifier you win so you might as well do a few, no reason to limit yourself to a region.
I guess technically by claiming a Euro spot you make it slightly less likely for a second tier european player to qualify, and the people who come out of the last korean qualifier will probably be easier opposition. But even that is mostly a pipe dream, most of the B team of Europe will just qualify in the american qualifier and it won't change much.

Maru did the EU qualifier to boost Harstem's confidence. I'm sure

Maru went the EU because he drank too much cofee and couldn't fall asleep Duh! :D

The EU qualifier that Maru went through seems harder than the #2 & #3 KR qualifiers.

Damn, no North Americans huh? I find it funny that Vanya and Spirit stole the non-Korean slots from American server qualis though.

Vanya changed his name to Rattata ? Really ?

Also nice job by TIME nabbing an EU spot. Not the hardest bracket for it, but still.
