Jim vs Bomber?! Two best players in Challenger paired against the other... Sen/check is kinda nuts too, but I sad that either Jim or Bomber won't be in Premier.

LMAO AT THIS DRAW. This is ridiculous, NASL, it can't be real.
Of course it can. Draws aren't supposed to be fair, they're supposed to be random. And they are.
Aye, qualifiers have more room to avoid putting 6 people together in a single bracket to a bunch of no-names make it through. The real tournament though.. should we expect Gom to give free walkovers? No, those free walkovers are given at random!
wow some really crazy good matchups bomber vs jim, violet vs top. poor chinese players again :D am is not their lucky region hf gl! sick matchups seriously

TaeJa got moved up to Premier. Snute switched to EU. They had to let more people qualify than existing players
Damn, this bracket sucks. All chinese players except Toodming and all the taiwanese players except Ian get korean opponents, even the only three chinese/taiwanese players from last season get the (probably) best three koreans, who qualified, while there are 6 NA vs NA match-ups. I see, how the seeding system probably worked, but the outcome is rather unsatisfying.
Also, does anyone know, why exactly Sonic is withdrawing? Signing up for a qualifier and than forfit the tournament only 1-2 weeks later seems rather odd, I´d be interested on what happened to him, hopefully nothing serious.

I don't know :S
a marquee player is a player whose name you would expect to see on a marquee, so it can mean either one depending on context

I don't know :S
adjective 4. superlative; headlining: a marquee basketball player.
so in this case name recognition probably. can also be used for highest quality but in that case Its usually explained more specifically (the marquee matchup for great play). Thins used by itself its usually just how well known/hyped they are although It probably won't be considered a marquee match if one player is clearly going to destroy the other.
I'm not an english major though so don't take this as fact.

Thank you.
lol u are right
Jim vs Bomber Top vs viOLet Sen (TW) vs Check
there were 4 koreans (5 if count Select) coming up through qualifiers to challenge the existing players from last season
there are only 3 chinese/taiwan existing players from last season challenger
by coincidence and random draw, these 3 chinese/taiwan (jim, top, Sen) get matched vs the 3 koreans
(3/22 are chinese) happen to exactly be matched vs (5/26 are korean) 14% chinese matched up with 19% korean
Also Has (Taiwan) is playing Sage (Korean) And XiGua (China) is playing Tassadar (Korean) And Courage (China) is playing Alicia (Korean) And Slam (Taiwan) is playing Revival (Korean) But Ian (Taiwan) is playing puCK (American) and Toodming (China) is playing Drunkenboi (Canada) so they break the pattern
Edit: Forgot iAsonu (Chinese, qualified via Wildcard) is playing Arthur (Korean). So 8 out of 10 Chinese/Taiwanese qualifiers are playing Koreans.
EPT
HuK vs 
Apocalypse vs 
Scarlett vs 
iAsonu
