Something a bit silly here: Those who qualified or were invited based on WCS points are already top 16 and therefore have already locked in 75 points. Thus, 4 players were invited based on points and immediately earned more without doing anything. Haha.


I think it is a terrible system. But the majority seems to think it is good. Oh well.

WCG is still fairly prestigious in Korea I guess?

Then know that if they qualify, they have basically won the whole thing.

I think the lack of practice is going to start kicking in soon. Think of MC in 2011.

There are teams besides EG and TL... so many players could have been given an opportunity TT

I'm sure many were asked before but their team couldn't send them unlike EG who can send anybody anywhere

I have the feeling that passports and visas might have also gotten in the way slightly, depending on where IEM is this year.

Based on the word "applicants" I assume that rather everyone who wanted to go via those spots applied, and they took the top 4 out of those players

ESF might not want to pay for flights, Liquid is sending HerO since it's probably cheaper than sending TLO from EU, and I dunno about Alicia and Ryung but,

Our guys want to play the WCG qualifiers.

It is possible Kespa only allowed the ones that qualified to go, leaving a few non-Kesparians for the 4 invites. Even if it isn't done completely by WCS points, it's not like WCS pts. count for that much.

But, happy to see Jaedong going, since I'd say he's clearly the best of the 4 invites and has been doing quite well recently (despite his lackluster WCS ranking).

I know, I was talking about the teams as a whole.

WCG is still fairly prestigious in Korea I guess?

An IM player once said in an interview that IM took the piss out of yonghwa as "korea's representative" when he won WCG Korea. But I dunno I guess being undefeated champs of WCG starcraft has become a point of pride for them maybe.
