If IEM aren't doing a tournament based entirely on qualifiers, I suppose WCS points is the next best thing. After all that was one of the points of implementing the system wasn't it? | ||

if this was the case why didnt innovation play the qualifiers instead of accepting an invitation (besides later on giving up his spot). knew the question of how they chose players would come up. sounds like a generic bullshit answer from iem. so many players wouldve jumped on the invitation if it were true | ||

Especially since grand final always in late December. Also is this why innovation dropped out after he did the IEM qualifier and got a paid trip? | ||

Groups are balanced and don't have any major favorites if there are more than two Koreans in each group. Looking forward to this tournament for sure this weekend. | ||

The only two other players I can see doing good are Polt and HyuN, the three noted open bracket players are doing terrible in HotS. :/ I just dont see the reason that they had by inviting the first 4 going down the WCS points list since it seems like so many declined. Once you reach rank 20, which I think is what Jaedong is, then you have a problem. It'll also be interesting to see the Chinese open bracket, since this is the only big international tournament that has had one in SC2. We might see some Chinese pros make it out, like XY and Jim (who, if he is there, will surely make it out). Also to excited to see Taiwanese players there, hopefully Slam and Sen are there! | ||
