I don't see why you announce these things with such short notice. Some advance warning would have been nice. I'm decently certain a fair amount of euros won't even see the thread or get the information about your qualifier.

Personally i just can't cancel other plans at this stage, as fuzer said earlier, scandinavians tend to celebrate midsummer as one of the more major holidays. Not saying you need to take nationally specific cultural celebrations into account in your planning, but at least give more than a 3-4 day heads up.

What does this mean?

Also, a total of 144 players in the open bracket; with 32 being removed each round in loser's..so wouldn't that be anyone round 3 or above would be top 80?

Thanks,


At the Summer Championship, there will be an MLG Starcraft II Event and the North America Continental Finals of the Starcraft II World Championship Series. Players will not be allowed to play in both Events. So, Players who have already qualified for the NA Continental Finals, like the Players who finished in the top 16 of the USA Nationals in Anaheim, won't be allowed to participate in any MLG Summer Online Qualifiers.

There were also 16 Players who started in Pool Play, making a total of 160 Players in the Spring Championship Event. Remember, the number of Players in each Losers Bracket round decrease as you progress. The eliminations proceeded as follows:

Losers Round 1 = 32 Players eliminated, leaving 128 in the Event
Losers Round 2 = 32 Players eliminated, leaving 96 in the Event
Losers Round 3 = 16 Players eliminated, leaving 80 in the Event
Losers Round 4 = 16 Players eliminated, leaving 64 in the Event
Losers Round 5 = 16 Players eliminated, leaving 48 in the Event
Losers Round 6 = 8 Players eliminated, leaving 40 in the Event
Losers Round 7 = 8 Players eliminated, leaving the 32 Championship Bracket Players

There are three Rounds in a row where 16 Players are eliminated because of the 16 Players who started in Open Winners Round 4.
You had to reach Open Losers Round 4 in order to finish top 80 overall.

never mind, I'm too slow

Edit: So we'll already know why Idra, Suppy, Fitzyhere, Illusion, Hawk, ViBE, Perfect, Insur, State, and Mystik won't be in the Invite-Only Online Qualifiers, despite finishing Top 80 in Anaheim.

With Dreamhack this past weekend and the United Kingdom Nationals of the Starcraft II World Championship Series in two weeks, this coming weekend was the only feasible weekend that could be used for MLG Europe Qualifiers while giving us enough time to book reasonably priced flights and for Players to obtain any necessary visas for the Summer Arena (July 20-22).

You're right, in the future we can make an effort to provide more notice. If it means you won't be able to participate this time around, that will be unfortunate.

Just a question.... why is it that EU + KR are getting 9 spots at the Arena, but NA is only getting 6? Koreans are already dominating the NA one, this just means there is less of a chance for US players to qualify.

I'm just curious as to why this decision was made to give EU+KR 18 spots but only 6 for NA.

I think for EU, the logical idea is to entice more to come since there is such a low showing of EU players (though they did magnificently).

As for KR, dunno.

I do like that MLG is pushing for Koreans NOT playing in the NA regional though... but what are the Invite-Only qualifier dates?? Golden is in the USA now, but will go back to Korea at some point so I need to know when the dates are so I can know which one to sign him up for.

Thanks

damn, since I qualified for WCS NA I can't try to qualify for the Arena, & I can't play at MLG?
I hope that next year they are ran as seperate events.

So I am clear..if you qualified for the WCS in Raleigh..you are NOT allowed to play in the qualifier for the Arena..and not even allowed to play in the main event? I am sorry, but did no one tell us this before? I would think a lot of players would be really upset by that and some would even choose to not play in the WCS to play in the MLG event...

John, maybe I am missing something but liquipedia says that there were 128 players in the open bracket, then the 16 from champ which makes it 144..what am I missing? This is a big deal; as that means the difference between quite a few players qualifying.


Where on liquipedia? The Spring Championship Page there makes reference to "256 open bracket signups" and "Number of players: 144" (in reference to total participation), both of which are incorrect.

There were 128 players who entered the tournament at OWR1, 16 more who started in OWR4, and 16 starting in the Pools, for a total of 160.

That is exactly the number I missed; the 16 who were added in OWR4; OK..that number makes sense now.

I really don't like being barred from the main event, I mean we're players and we like to complain that we played for 12 hours straight with few breaks and how evil the schedule is. But that said I was still able to place top 12 in WCS and top 80 in MLG and playing in both tournaments had its benefits because I got to double my major lan tournament experience. Please reconsider ;(.

Some of these players look forward to playing in both events. They need the exposure provided from both events to make their trip worthwhile, and to help their career. Not every player in this community, especially a lot of the ones who qualified for WCS NA can afford to just pass up an event because they don't need the exposure. Please, just allow the players who WANT to participate to participate in both.

I don't get it. The qualifiers are for a separate event (Arena) from the Championship which conflicts with WCS NA Finals.

If they wanted to prevent schedule conflicts, they could just put a restriction from the players competing in the Championship (if they manage to get a place by doing well in Arena). Why prevent a player from competing in the Arena AND Championships?

This is just unacceptable as far as I'm concerned. Especially with no warning and no explanation. Its not as if Dreamhack just happened. I know each season is a season unto itself, but that doesn't stop you from being able to tell people during a previous season about an upcoming qualifier so they can prepare. That aside, it doesn't excuse not being forward about the WCS/MLG combination issue. Not at all fair play as far as disclosure is concerned.
