A string of 14 posts all feel that it is reasonable what they are doing. You pick the ONE poster that agrees with you, instead considering you have an unreasonable expectation that you are somehow special because you are featured. I think most people are very happy with the selections. Also, HwangSin rolfstomped the TLOpen once (or twice maybe?) and routinely dominates big players in ladder and online stuff. He's playing in IPL Quals and doing well too. | ||

I'm baffled/mad that there was no qualifier after the Korean fiasco to make up for it and I'm fighting the good fight. | ||

I'm baffled/mad that there was no qualifier after the Korean fiasco to make up for it and I'm fighting the good fight. They would have had to organize a qualifier very quickly. It's not impossible, but it would have been hard. And a bunch of top players who could have qualified probably wouldn't have been able to make it. And then who gets in is still arbitrary. It's just arbitrary based on scheduling concerns instead of their invitations... Maybe a qualifier would have been better. You can certainly make that argument in a reasonable way. But it's not obvious. There's enough obviously stupid things being done all the time... focus on those. The borderline wrong-but-not-unreasonable cases really aren't worth making a huge controversy about. | ||

Do we know how many more slots are available? 20 players have been announced and there is 45 spot if I'm not mistaken, so maybe 15 more. Rain is in, he qualified via qualifier. (well I think so, maybe 90% sure) | ||

I'm baffled/mad that there was no qualifier after the Korean fiasco to make up for it and I'm fighting the good fight. But to expect them to have qualifiers with the Koreans (who made up a large amount of the player pool) dropping out at such a late stage is unreasonable. An open qualifier would have been almost impossible to schedule with Assembly and IEM recently going on and players already committing to those. They have a responsibility to sponsors and other players to hold to the schedule that was originally slated. They most likely already have a date/location in the works for the finals which would require even more work to reschedule. Also, it's not like they are ignoring qualifiers that already happened. You've already had a chance in TWO qualifiers to get into the league. Players who qualified/placed high are still getting their spots. The hard part is that so many koreans placed so high in the qualifiers that you'd have to go way back into the brackets to find enough non-koreans to fill all the spots. So instead they choose to fill some spots with higher profile players. I am perfectly fine with this and think they're doing a pretty good job to run damage control after the koreans bailed. | ||

 Rain, SeleCT and mOoNan will all be returning. There are also 6 Ro16 qualifier players who haven't been named yet/didn't make it to Ro8/aren't Korean. While I doubt all of them will make it in there is still a chance. I'd be very surprised if the majority of them were not invited. They are:vVv.  TimeGoSu. BubblesiGe. LinkoCocoAKnowMeEG. DeMusliMI'm expecting at least 3 of those 6 to be invites unless something came up and they couldn't accept. Of course we'll know for sure in 5 days but it's always fun to speculate. Edit: Just found TLPD-ize | ||

How can you pick some people that finished in the ro16 without inviting all 8 that were eliminated in that round? Not randomly. Those from the qualifiers invited so far were one game away from qualifying (Nightend, Inka). Other eligible players who were one game away from qualifiying: Bubbles (in both qualifiers, that should earn him a spot) DeMuslim Time linko cocoa KnowMe I anticipate Bubbles and DeMuslim to be chosen. I'd only use more players from that list if there are free spots available, although I'd regard most of the eliminated players from season 1 as stronger than these guys.

The 2nd qualifier didn't mean anything in the end because koreans knocked out players and then bailed. That qualifier is bias and that's why I've been QQing for 10pages that there should have been another one. thank you | ||

Hope you all like the players today! I quite like the players you have replaced the koreans with. I am particularly interested to see Softball! | ||

I feel like running another qualifier would have been better, but I like these choices. | ||

People agree that a qualifier is the easiest way to fill the spots, but you still fail to realize what a quickly ran qualifier would have entailed. In the middle of a pretty busy month with Assembly and IEM where players are traveling/training/competing, you want to spring a new qualifier on the players. How long do you give players to sign up for the qualifier? How long after that do you give them to start playing the matches? Your qualifier would have had a serious lacking of some of the best players that could have participated. Now THAT qualifier would also be bias because it would favor only those who could respond and schedule in a quick turnaround. So given the choice between invites based on qualifier results/season 1 performances and a rushed qualifier, I believe that the invitations yield a better field. You jump on the bit fighting for players like Bubbles without having seen the full list of invites. I'm hoping that the full list of players will include at least most of the players listed above, but at least wait on the full list to see if these guys got in or not. You're welcome. | ||

Did Naniwa/ThorZaIN reconsider? If not, please shoot down mine and thousands of other ppls wishful thoughts now already.. | ||
