If you don't count the 8 man invitationals it probably is.

SortOf for example signed up to late and could´nt get in, while a bunch of no-names are attending, simply because they signed up earlier. That's sign-ups. Not the same as qualifiers. | ||

I think it is, there are 64 "pros" attending, whereas I believe there normally is 32 pros and 32 unknowns. Of which usually 32/32 or 31/32 of the pros make it to the RO32 | ||

Sure, but it still gives anyone a chance (Or would normally, this DH is an exception, because so many people signed up), so it´s fine for me. I think the only tourney, that uses only qualifiers atm. is IEM. Edit @ Zenbrez: Only top 8 gets money, so more than half of the koreans will be flying home emty-handed. Probably even a few more, quite a few of the attending koreans looked vulnerable before and some of the attending foreigners can beat anyone, when they are in shape. | ||

I mean look at what Blizzard did with the WCS sign-ups for EU and NA as well. That's not a whole lot of time to sign-up and lock in man. It's bullocks. | ||
