Pretty clear that this is obviously based on who is the most famous rather than any actual qualifications. Not that those players are undeserving, but... That would be because the way the invite criteria work wasn't event RESULTS, it was event PARTICIPATION. This means that players that might not be placing as HIGHLY as other players get invited simply because the team they play for can afford to send them to more events. | ||

Scarlett vs Goswser That is just brutal. the 2 best na players (imo) against each other. I guess you dont want to do a whole lot of qualification matches but at least put each region in a bracket. :/ | ||

Can't have lil ol' johnny ladder knocking out a big name, that would hurt e-sports now wouldn't it! The ironic thing is, I think a lot of people would tune into amazing stories like, "omg did you hear? He beat flash, it was crazy," etc. If they don't want unknowns in their Championships, why hasn't the Open Bracket format been removed much earlier? To me, this seems more like a one-off thing based on a variety of factors (with your primary reason being a very minor one) than anything else. | ||

They obviously are aware that up and comers and their open bracket can draw just as many viewers as big names.. They are not retarded. | ||

Viewers is not about competition, determining the best is competition! not inviting a bunch of players and making a false claim that they have accomplished something in HOTS. and hopefully they are alot better than this for players like me... Was really looking forward to heading to dallas and other MLG events this year. I don't think KiF1rE is trying to claim he deserves an invite, rather that their system is rather arbitrary and bullshit. | ||

This event is 3 days after a major content release. Qualification is taking place on BETA servers. We wanted to have open online qualification for this event but it was not a logistical reality. We are not done announcing 2013 plans. Have faith. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + KESPA (5) - 10 KESPA players competing for 5 spots Parting vs. Fantasy Rain vs. Flying Innovation vs. TY Roro vs. Hero Soulkey vs. Last ESF (5) - 10 ESF players competing for 5 spots DongRaeGu vs. Jjakji MarineKing vs Gumiho Mvp vs Curious Creator vs Nestea Sniper vs Seed Independent/Western (3) - 6 Western+ Independent Korean players competing for 3 spots MC vs Alive Hero vs Polt Taeja vs Violet Too bad there won't be an open bracket because it usually keeps things interesting when someone makes a godly run. :/ | ||

He missed every single European Major that MC vs Alive Hero vs Polt Taeja vs Violet All 6 of these attended. To be fair I don't even see why aLive/MC/HerO/TaeJa are even in this category considering they've lived in Korea this whole time to begin with. | ||

Because they are in their own category of bringing in views is my guess. They can guarantee 3 western team Koreans to make the event instead of risking 0 by doing just pure korean qualifier games | ||
