Isn't it an open style qualifier? Aka anyone who signs up competes against the others? Or are they giving a certain number of spots to Kespa. Pretty sure they are mixed though. | ||

You don't want to risk having the GSL players wipe out the Kespa players early in the bracket. It might even be a good idea for them to segregate all the way until the finals. You guarantee a huge amount of hype if you pit a Kespa player vs a GSL player in the finals. And it's much easier for one Kespa player to "level-up" and practice and prepare for the finals than to expect the entire Kespa league to "catch up" with the GSL players. | ||

I think it's responsive to the possibility that if you're in a highly highly established team, the majority of your play might very well be private, hence the most highly established teams have shortcut passes to qualifiers. They've made it a very open process, I could see the first OSL being extremely competitive. | ||

Other than 7 people still in this OSl there is no reason for any player to put any real thought into there BW matchups since they can win there games purely on SC2 (and it shows) . | ||

Exactly no one is seriously considering a format like that. It's the exact same argument when Koreans began attending foreign events and it was suggested that they limit the number of koreans. Imagine the collective pitchfork of koreans and foreigners... oh my... | ||
