Comm is saying that he is considering whether or not he should enter the 64 man tournament that is going on in June as opposed to this one.

He has not officially decided whether or not he will be participating yet.

This makes me a bit worried for Comm. Even though the information in this chatlog isn't very complete, it seems like he might not really understand the WCS system properly. He seems to think that there's a preliminary tournament for the premier league next season (though it's not explicitly stated in the chatlog so I can't be sure), which there isn't. He also talks about a Ro64 in this season, which as far as I know doesn't exist.

I'll see if I can talk to him about the tournament system later.

Haha sounds like a good idea. Even though he might already knw it, doesnt hurt to be more safe haha

You must not be familiar with how things get fixed. People complained about gold players being in the Premier league qulaifiers, so MLG went ahead and made it so that doesn't happen by making it so you had to be in masters or grand masters.

I'm more than familiar with the "fix". It's something that shouldn't happen in the first place.

You're right, but it did. So a fix was needed

nice decision,MLG think degree of match difficulty is challenger qualifier >premier qualifier
but in benefit premier league qualifier >> challenger league qualifier

may MLG think all players in WCS NA league should be invited and known clearly by themselves

someone tell me if im right.

so there will be a 512 person, single-elim bracket[1] of M and GM rank.

the final 8 of this bracket[1] will move on to a different bracket[2] (a winner's bracket of sorts) that ALSO contains some set number of players that will get invites into this bracket[2] (therefore skipping bracket[1]).

the quantity and identities of these invitees is still unknown to the public as of now (~1day-12hours till registration closes).

yup, sums it up pretty good.
even the invitees don't know if they are invited, yet.

You seem to be around 25th place, so in theory you should have qualified for the invite. I'd message anyone and everyone at MLG to verify. Last thing you want is to find out you didn't and then registrations for the qualifier to the qualifier be closed/full. Good luck.

I never understood why the NA community has so many compulsions towards invites, like an invite only qualifier... <.<

The invites are the players who placed 9th-40th in the first qualifier, so invites might not have been the most appropriate word.

I am completely lost on who gets into which bracket. As a spectator I can just wait till I can read it on LQP. I just wonder if all players know what to do and which group they are in.

Because invites let MLG make sure the players qualifying are people you might want to watch. Who wants to have talented, under-respected players like Dayshi/Bunny qualify into premier league when we could make sure every qualifier ever has 8 feature matches with IdrA in it?

To tell the truth here though, until "under-respected" players manage to break out of the "average nice guy, mid-tier progamer" mould, I think I'd rather watch idra talk shit. At least he's interesting.
There is no such thing is "e-sports". There is Brood War, and then there is crap for nerds.

Can MLG do a CLEAR LIST of all players invited in final qualifier for Challenger division ?
How can they be so bad at communication, organisation, and decision.

So, Taeja is screwed then? DreamHack and WCS NA Challenger Qualifier Qualifier Tournament same time, awesome?

Invites are more than just 9th to 40th.

But, then we won't have as much MLG Hype Train as they slowly list out their invites!

I think it is only going to be for this first WCS to get the ball rolling. It's not ideal, but once they have a set group of people in both the premier and challenge's divisions, they can then run the open qualifiers for challengers going forward.
