Polt's group looking really easy thus far, so long as he practices adequately. Sure, the qualifier spot is very much a wildcard, but still... I can't see how he could fail to advance.
the overall quality is still so low, i dont see the wisdom in inviting a few token koreans. either go for the quality route and invite anyone who deserves the place or go for the 'growing esports' route and only invite NA nationals.
right now we have 2/3 low level players who are just going to get smashed out of groups and be forgotton about, getting little to know decent practice/exposure. and 2/3 koreans who are going to smash their groups, and then lose in the world finals due to lacking a decent practice environment.

I dont think those Koreans will get smashed due to lacking decent practice.. They get to play from online and when they do have to come to NYC for the studio matches it's only a short time right?

You what? Snute is better than most of the players in those groups.
I bet idras regretting instantly leaving every tvz he ever gets on the ladder. who am i kidding no he isn't, groups dont look very fun atm, too easy to tell whos going to advance
Group 1: HerO + Random Korean Group 2: Scarlett + Violet Group 3: Polt + Random Korean Group 4: Ryung + Random Korean Group 5: Nestea + Random Korean Group 6: Snute + Random Korean Group 7: Sen + Random Korean Group 8: mOOnGLaDe + Random Korean

Why would taeja be seeded? That would mean it would be possible for him to be playing both GSL (if he gets far this season) and WCS NA s1 at the same time. No one is allowed to play in both regions simultaneously.
