Well, only 2 from Korea. This means american players can have a go at bronze medal!

(That's better than MLG with lotsa americans that get finished off before pool play even starts...)

I was at the finale of Season 6 in Hannover and it was quite fun. I will be there ^^

But anyway, the Koreans living in the US (viOLet, IceCream...) will be taking part (and most likely take some spots if it indeed works that way...) in the North American qualifier, won't they ?

As far as America is concerned, I think that Illusion is a great player but I don´t see anyone else deserving the competition.

Even if Stephano *were* American, could we even find 3 other people from the States that take a game off Symbol or Mvp (or whomever you think the best two Korean players are at the moment, Symbol only gets points for momentum) in a Best of Three? Europe is leagues ahead of NA as far as quality, but finding 8 players that are better than Korea's two best is a Sisyphian task.

Mvp korean is best korean.

Yeah, I kind of wish I hadn't tried touching on specifics.

Guess IEM decided it needed a little "home court advantage" by making more people able to qualify from America than Korea. Granted, I think Koreans will win those anyway, but it is funny.

Silly little attempt to get more foreign fans excited about a potential win for their foreign favorites but they'll probably still get crushed by the Koreans anyways. Hey third place is up for grabs!

It's North America + South America that has the 4 slots, if that clears things up a little

I hope you guys like the changes!

It's called an open bracket, but you get invited into it.

I looked at the four slots for NA, thought to myself a bit about who could fill those slots, and then cried in a corner for a bit. We need more high tier players.
