meh I don't know about deserving a seeded spot. It's a good cohesive for the scene but I'm not the biggest fan of seeded spots.

I think it will just mean another Korean will get a seed, not that it's a bad thing

I don't understand that sentence. Could someone explain it to me please ?
Great to see two of the giants working together, hopefully Naniwa will finally be victorious at his home ground, and as a bonus receive a seed to MLG! :D

The Qualifier will have a select number of spots per region. Some for North America, some for Europe, and some for Korea/SEA. The winner of Dreamhack will get one of the spots from Europe.
Is that clear enough? I dunno, I don't often have to explain English to foreigners.

No, the reason it's not clear is because the DH winner will receive a direct invite to the 32 man spring arena 2. Therefore, why would he also need an invite to the qualifier when he doesn't need to play in the qualifier?

AHHHHH Yes it's clear now. Thanks
I felt something was missing like "extending to the player" but maybe to extend is transitive. I didn't know that.

See it as a qualifier then. It's different when a seed is just awarded on arbitrary grounds.
This is good news. Players now don't have to travel to every single event in order to qualify for other events. It also may reduce the amount over overlapping tournaments.

"MLG will be extending the player one of the European qualifying spots from the upcoming MLG Invite-Only Online Qualifier."
That line means that we will be giving the DH winner one of the spots that was originally slated to come from the European Invite-Only Online Qualifier. There will be one less spot to be one via the European Invite-Only Qualifier as a result.
