The op clearly says... if you are qualified for WCS Continentals you cant play in the online qualifier. This does NOT preclude you from playing at MLG Raleigh.
The reason behind this is that the Arena is a way to give a player a free ride to MLG. WCS players are already getting free trips, HENCE they are not allowed to play in the Arena qualifiers.
CONFLICTING INFO!
exact wording: * Players who are qualified for the NA Continental Finals cannot participate in any Summer Online Qualifiers.

I don't think that WCS NA players are going to dominate the Summer Arena so much that MLG is left with a seeding problem. Probably not enough of us will even qualify for Summer Arena to be able to cause a seeding problem.
I don't know what other problem we could possibly cause. I guess storyline continuity between the Arena and the Championship? That'd be pretty weak. I don't know.

Why must they be held concurrently? Do WCS, then MLG. ezpz

That is not easy lol, Regular MLG takes 3 days to finish and the schedule is already hectic, Doing WCS first and pushing the MLG tournament back would make the schedules much worse than it already is.

If it is indeed the case that WCS players wont be able to compete in the MLG Summer championships then I am sorely disappointed in MLG. Allowing WCS players to compete in MLG at Anaheim brought about players like xSixSuppy, who was one of the stories of the whole tournament, being the top placing American player. How can you just turn around and deny the players their chance at showing their skills in your competition AFTER they have already commited to competing in WCS and making it that far? This is an absolute travesty commited against those players that qualify for the North American Nationals.

Well if they actually took the time to sit down and make a schedule and not have security at the event be completely misinformed and screwing people by making them late for matches or just have blizzard find some open time to run the tournament else where. This seems to be their quick fix to the problem that people complained about at Anaheim.

Oh god, this decision is just pathetic... I wouldn't think it could even come to someones head and be seriously considered.
How about you don't mix 2tournaments into one, instead? :|

Stop it with that logic nony!
We're getting all passionate and worked up here. We're just trying to work out who sponsers Blizzard so we can complain to them....

What are you talking about, They already have a schedule?
They talk about it on the pregame show for each of the 3 days, It's been posted on there site, and there's a station in the event where they have a dedicated person with large board showing when all the matches should start.

awful decision... sucks for my friends
Glad I didn't make top 16 now, because I just signed up for the qualifier! lol

It's the same as for the spring arena.

Unfortunate, I'm sure there is a better way to solve the problem. Perhaps there just isn't enough time, but there still should be a way for them to compete IMO. It just seems unfair that they get this info without and sort of notice.
|
From 14 hour marathon tournament days to barring players from entering completely. Just another PR disaster for MLG.
|
This is really bad for people like Illusion, Idra, Tyler, and goswer. I don't even understand how any sane business man would think this is acceptable....
|
Don't forget HuK.
Maybe this is MLG's way of getting back at Idra for his recent complain post.
Actually I think the recent silence from MLG is potential that they may reverse this decision. Hopefully.

Can't figure out how to properly schedule the tournaments?
BETTER JUST BAN EVERYONE FROM PLAYING IN BOTH
gj MLG. Obviously the best solution instead of taking an hour to properly schedule the events.
