Jaedong, JYP, Center, and Zenio all have invites to that closed qualifier on May 4th. HyuN is the only question mark at this point. But didn't HyuN play in the GSL, barring him from WCS america completely? | ||

The rules allow certain players to play in qualifiers to prepare their change next season. Hyun is allowed to play in the challenger qualifier (He played in the wrong qualifier last time so he got a DQ) | ||

If I'm understanding this correctly, this is a qualifier so you could play along with the invites 9th-40th from the Premier League qualifier(that was incredibly flawed) to then play through another qualifier? MLG and their love of invites never gets old. This should be straight up, at the very least, be a qualifier for 16 spots into Challenger. Or do two qualifiers for eight spots each. Or four qualifiers for four spots each. Challenger League doesn't even start till May 13th, that is plenty of time. You should want the best of the best that are left for Challenger. Not players who finished 20th-40th in an extremely flawed tournament. Pretty much this. Not surprised though anymore at MLG and their invitationals. like lol can't believe they are seriously doing an "open" qualifier just so you can play in the invite only qualifier rofl. | ||

No one knows how the hell they determine the players who get seeded already into the InviteOnly. If they base it on the PremierLeague Qualifier it's really bad, cause so many things happened and it's really questionable how legitimate the outcome of the Qualifier was. That u cant revoke the 8 Players who got into Premier now is understandable, cause it would damage these Players, who weren't at fault for the bad organistion, alot. Better conclusion would've been that the OpenQualifier for Challenger grants the 16 places for Challenger. So run 2 or 4 Qualifier (512-1024 brackets and masters+) and give the 8 or 4 top finishers the spots. Edit: They also could've added one more Round to the PremierLeague itself and run a second Qualfier for it, cause the first one was really really questionable. And then let more players drop from PremierLeague into Challenger League for the first Season and come back to the normal model of the Leagues after Season2/3. | ||

In order to correct the wrong done to a lot of these players they are being given an invite into the OPEN qualifier where the top EIGHT can join the top 32 from the premiere qualifier for the ACTUAL code A qualifier where 16 go to NA Code A? How does this help them... at all? | ||

Holy fuck wow! Korean top10 GM progamer and the WCS China champ ALLOWED into the CHALLENGER QUALIFIER! No, they are allowed into the qualifier for the qualifier for challenger. Which is open to everyone anyway. I guess if they hadn't done this the chinese wouldnt have even been allowed to try to qualify for challenger since it was based on the premiere league bracket. It would seem the blind are leading the blind at MLG. They clearly don't understand the extent of the injustice they put on the Chinese players. | ||

How does this help them... at all? It doesn't. It just makes sure they don't miss out this time. It gives them absolutely nothing. Its hilarious they think this goes anyway to making up for what went down. It would be like getting screwed in a $200 poker tournament by the admins and they give you a token for the $1 satellite which will satellite you into the $20 satellite for the $200 tournament as compensation. These players should be seeded not just into the qualifier for the qualifier, not just the qualifier but into the challenger itself. Even then it doesn't really make up for it such is the difference between Premier and challenger. TBH they should just expand the Premier to 64 players and hold a new open qualifier with 32 more spots. Seriously. Only thing that in any way shape or form actually makes up for this farce. | ||

I guess if they hadn't done this the chinese wouldnt have even been allowed to try to qualify for challenger since it was based on the premiere league bracket. Yeah it's still pretty bad. I think the best they should have done is adding a Round or x-amount of Players to the first PremierLeague Season and do a new Qualifier for these spots (or even better not 1 Qualifier, 2 or 4 like ESL did). And then just let more players drop down from Preamier to Challenger the first season, same maybe for Challenger to Code B, and return to normal League-System for Season2/3. | ||
