They'll look at his team and professional history. They'll look at his ladder ranking. They'll look at his previous tournament appearances. If all those are sufficient to call him one of the 50 best players who applied, invite him to play. In the case of Destiny (who you are talking about, I suspect) he wouldn't make 2 of the 3. Probably not even the ladder since he's not even Top 100 in his region. With the amount of actual talent this prize pool will attract, he is simply not a valid invite, popularity or not. | ||

They were looking to get the community involved and somehow it got turned into a shitstorm .. Now that iNcontrol has made it clear; the vote is just an indicator... i don't see why we need to be all mad of this non existent popularity contest.. | ||

Get off your high horses and get behind this or it will fail. At least they arent Kespa and say "STFU you have no opinion and you do as we say". No, on the NASL.TV page it says that the community involvement will be great. So, again, stop acting like jackass's and start making it bigger and better than korea. We all have dreams. | ||

Funny fact, I beat EGLZgamer at MLG DC. Now, to people that don't watch much, if you'd be guessing who would win something like that, would you guess me or the person with EG in their name? If I had needed to be voted in to MLG to be able to participate, something like that would never be able to happen, as I'd automatically be written off since I could be a player that is not popular or well known at the time. This does not go for just me obviously, but imagine players even less known than myself...that could be better... To do this NASL, which I want to get into, I suddenly feel like I need to take more time out of practice now to get on twitter, facebook, stream 20x more, and basically everything and anything that can get me more exposure =/! Replay pack in the works now  That's life though. It's the same in any field of work. If you start placing well in every other event you will become popular, it's as simple as that. | ||

Ahh thanks for clearing that up and what do you mean 'addition to the quote'? I just bolded the numbers. | ||

If you think you're one of the top 50 players outside of Korea, then go out and win a few tourneys, join a team, and get your name out there. Failing that, if you think you're one of the top 50 players outside of Korea, it should be no problem for you to take down the open qualifier. Beating someone once is fine and good, but there's a reason important match-ups are decided in best of 3-7 games...so that a fluke doesn't determine the outcome. | ||
