It seems they maybe changed their ChallengerLeague Qualifier, if it is up to date at the website WCS America Season 1 - MLG
+ Show Spoiler +WCS America Open Qualifier for Challenger League
Registration opens Thursday, April 25 at 5pm ET
The WCS America Open Qualifier for Challenger League will feature 512 players competing online in a single elimination bracket and will be FREE to enter.
Registration: only Masters and Grandmasters players may register
Registration opens Thursday, April 25 at 5pm ET online.
Registration will close on Friday, April 26 at 5pm ET.
In order to be included in the bracket, all registered players must check-in between 10:00 AM and 12:30 PM on Saturday, April 27.
Prizing:
Top eight players will advance to play in the Invite-Only Challenger League Qualifier on May 4.
Note: A select group of players will automatically be granted entry into the Open Qualifier including players beaten by competitors who were disqualified in the first WCS America qualifier, and select Chinese players who were not able to compete in the first qualifier.
Edit: The thing i dont get is, why there have to be an Invite-Only Challenger League Qualifier after there was an Open one to find the People. So some players seem to get extra care so they get seeded into something like "second round of the Qualifier", still not equal terms for all players, cause some have to go through 2 Qualifiers. And people who got screwed over in the PremierLeague Qualifier only get into the Open..bla and have to run through 2 Qualifiers now.

Just feels like racism to me. Many many non-chinese players broke rules and didn't get DQ'd. Letting silver league players in instead of chinese pros, letting other pros in who registered AFTER the chinese players...
|
Hope that chinese players will qualifie to the challenger division.
I would say that Blizzard should give some spot directly into the challenger division to chinese players but it would be unfair to other players
gogo china, beat all of these american chobo :D

Awesome. That is great news. Good on Sundance for addressing the issue and getting the players that missed out into challenger qualifier.

yeah great "hey guys, we didn't let you try to qualify for Premier, so hey, we will let you play to try to get into the subleague. Hope you're happy ! Are we even now ?"
...

Well, I had too little faith apparently (challenger bracket now has an open qualification into the invite-only). but it's still a victory because now they are doing things better  (also proves my point that they could of changed on short notice)
|
It's not optimal but better than nothing.
They can't repair the fuckups they did 100% so now atleast they do some damage control for the bad treated players. If u get into Challenger in Season1 it's still way better than having to wait for Season2 start to try and qualify for it.
Still i see some problem with the System of OpenQualifier gets 8 places into InviteOnly-Qualifier, how do they select the people who are already in the InviteOnly-Qualifier, if from the PremierLeague Qualifier than its really shady.

i hope blizz will do something about this.even if it needs to get rid of mlg or the current code a qualifier system which is still a huge f***up
I would cheer if MLG lost the rights to host WCS America. NASL all the fucking way. Their worst tournament, NASL Season 2, was far better than the shitshow MLG put on.

Towards Comm, there's an easy way. Force a best of 7 rematch between him and TheStC. Winner gets the seed that Comm could have earned if MLG's retarded admins didn't disqualify him.
As for those knocked out by PhysicsLee and HyuN, two illegitimate players... give them free Challenger Division seeds.

I think the same with Comm and the other statement. But how i know MLG and how they showed to react at first, i don't think that this is realistic.
They also couldve added x-amount of players for a bigger first round in PremierLeague and ran a second Qualifier, better organized, for these spots and let more people drop from Premier into Challenger for the first season. But i don't know if wishing for something like that is realistic.

Still only a Qualfier for a Qualifier not directly into Challenger.... Who are the already invited Players and why, outcome of the PremierLeagueQualifier is really questionable to seed them into the Invite stage of the Qualifier already.
Again only 1 Qualifier, so if u run into an unknown Hacker or have tougher Bracket u can still get screwed. They could've run 2 or 4 Qualifiers and give the 8 or 4 top finishers the spots already into the ChallengerLeague itself instead going to play into another Qualifier yet again.

Right?

I Strongly think that the Chinese guys are the ones to stand a chance against Top Koreans cuz of their hard work and dedication but because of things like that the foreign scene looks even more lost against the best of the best

Hahaha if I wanted to pick on this, I'd say that the premier qualifiers included players below masters League, whereas the challenger qualifiers is masters and up, making it a harder event :D

This just sounds like a really bad situation and not just by MLG. That MLG made mistakes with other players, particularly Koreans, is irrelevant to Chinese players.
I might point out in the midst of all the controversy that Chinese players are free to qualify in the EU next time. Or they could always try their luck at GSL. The drift policy also works to allow players to "vote with their feet" what makes them unhappy.

All 3 Chinese players who participated in the Premier qualifier made it into top 12, the only other foreigner to do so is Demuslim. And I believe more than half of the Premier foreign invites can't do it.

It would be sick if iG was on top of the world in both SC2 and Dota 2. It's sad that now we won't get to see them get a chance to attain that.
Good luck with the appeal and such.
