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

Even the ESF guys? And even the Liquid and Axiom guys? WCG is still fairly prestigious in Korea I guess? Then know that if they qualify, they have basically won the whole thing.

Badass. So fun seeing JD at all these tournaments!

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

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

Well if you say so. You are usually well informed.

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

Our guys want to play the WCG qualifiers.

eSF doesn't pay for flights just so It's clear, the individual teams do.

at first i thought it said "leaving EG-TL'.

Are in the Dual Tournament only chinese player or also some others?
|
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.

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.
