Have you checked with MLG as to why that happened? It could just be some sort of error with their system, as it would be really weird if they are handing out bans with no qualifier running.

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

Invites are more than just 9th to 40th.

No, that is who the invited players were. If you're talking about the qualifier happening this weekend, they reserved spots for the Chinese players and those who were beaten by people who were disqualified.
As for Taeja, I don't think he's allowed to play in it anyways since hes in the Korean Premier league.
Taeja may not want to give up his Code S spot, or have to fly/move the US to play the offline matches every week, which is what blizzard has eluded to with season 2.

Correct, and if Taeja participates in the qualifiers, he will automatically forfeit his code S spot (next season) whether he makes ro8 or not

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.


I doubt it. With MLG running it and how they love their invite only things I would be absolutely shocked if they stopped doing invite qualifiers.
When I think of something else, something will go here

MLG should use the word "Qualifiers from previous tournament" instead of "Invite". People confused about invites are being grant without making any effort to qualify.

How are MLG regulating the restriction to M/GM players for this qualifier? Can people below just not sign up or will they be checking each profile or something?

  38. (Z)owmygroin
  39. (Z)quasAr
  40. (Z)Phog

Because (Z)Comm and (T)PhysicsLee were DQ'd, I guess two more players who lost in Losers Bracket Round 7 will get invited, whatever way that is decided.

So looks like this list is correct, and (Z)CatZ plus (P)Kappn were added on as replacements for the DQ's.

The Open qualifier took place meanwhile and these 8 players will join the 40 above in the Invite-Only qualifier:

(P)LeiYa
(P)jim
(T)Xy
(T)Xenocider
(T)Loner
(T)DemonSheep
(P)desRow
(P)TOdesKaMpF

Finally, also the following two players will take part in the Invite-Only qualifier somehow (Ro48+2?) as region transfers:

(T)TaeJa
(Z)HyuN

I dont get it why MLG fucked this up so hard.

Usually the MLG events are the absolute highlights. The best tournaments in SC2 besides GSL. I was expecting the ESL to fail hard, but WCS EU is REALLY awesome so far.

I hope MLG can get things sorted out.

Correct, and if Taeja participates in the qualifiers, he will automatically forfeit his code S spot (next season) whether he makes ro8 or not


But there is no 2nd season of Code S until after OSL.

So he's going to be allowed to play in this season's Code S (technically season 2, or WCS KR season 1) and NA Challenger League Season 1 simultaneously?

If you don't like it, you can quit.
