They make the best players from each region play each other in a very short, very volatile double elim tourney, where the best player of the region isn't necessarily going to grab the invite. Yet for the Koreans, which is an INCREDIBLY deep talent pool, they just go ahead and pluck the top two players from the rankings of a very different tourney than the blizzard invitationals. Its not necessarily about NesTea and MVP being very good players, but put them up against each other in several best of threes against 6 other of the best Korean players, you could end up with a different invite combination than NesTea/MVP (hell, mvp/nestea could very well have eliminated one another). Blame it on the fact that no other tournament is run as frequently with a system of points given to each player. Statistically speaking, based on the GSL point totals Nestea and MVP SHOULD have won the qualifiers anyway (barring no rediculous upsets or them facing eachother prior). If the rest of the world had any uniform tournament point system then there probably wouldn't be any "qualfiers" and all the invitationals would simply be as "unimportant" as the Korean one. | ||

Regarding the GSL Points and the Blizzcon invite it shows why MC chose MVP in the group selection for Code S. He knew that in order to get an invite to Blizzcon he had to win GSL and also not let MVP get far in the tournament, the best option for that may have been a Bo1 to knock him out early. | ||

That sure owned himself in the face pretty hard. | ||

The absolutely funny thing about it was also that MVP chose Polt to the group (If I don't remember this totally wrong). Polt also had a chance to get a Blizzcon invite so basically MVP just laughed at it and saw the opportunity to be confirmed directly after the group  . | ||
