Why would we want to watch Flash and Jaedong beat up on two outdated players years past their prime?

Because Jaedong's eventual appearance at Blizzcon needs to be more justified than simply having the ability to fly anywhere on a moment's notice.

Yeah, let's forget about kespa cup, and talk about how jeadong dominates anyone in our dream world.

Top two PL is Maru and herO. Even if Maru is top 2 gsl, then SoS would be next in line for PL spot. Maru and SoS would need to be in the gsl finals for Flash to have a chance of being in this.

Oh my, that moment when you have WCS EU and WCS NA finalists in with the likes of KESPA players....this is going to be carnage ;o
However those qualifiers are going to be soooooo stacked man, damn. Really hope Maru gets in. I need me Maru in this!!
Oh any knowledge whether this will be streamed? I see it says SPOTV may broadcast your games so maybe just YouTube stream or im not sure? Hope they stream it the qualifiers are going be so stacked lol.

Yeah they did the top two as of end of round 4 i think. Didn't include round 4 play offs or post season play offs. Thus it was herO & $O$ at the time.

According to Liquipedia and whatever source the editors are using, it's already decided that the spots go to herO and $O$.

It is herO and sOs according to the Kespa wins ranking.

Why would anyone recieve a BYE? There will be 16 players - maybe the formulation in the OP is unclear, but there will be two from each region, two from PL and 8 from quals.

Liquipedia has this based off season 2 finishes so...
Top 2 Proleague players (2)
herO
sOs
2014 WCS Season 2 America (2)
Pigbaby
Bomber
2014 WCS Season 2 Europe (2)
San
StarDust
2014 GSL Season 2 (2)
Classic
soO
Is liquipedia ever wrong? I'm wondering if herO and sOs were top of PL at a certain moment in time, maybe when WCS season 2 ended, or at the end of the regular season...? Or maybe there is some kind of hidden "happiness multiplier" that Kespa uses which give both sOs and herO a huge boost.

Does anyone know how/why these differ from liquipedia?

Oh, nevermind. Sorry, I only thought that the top2 GSL players would be invited.

My guess is that liquipedia includes playoff wins as well. Proleague ranking is only for the regular season. I believe both herO and sOs are tied with the most wins (20 I believe) but one of them has a better winning percentage.

I think KeSPA doesn't include ACE games in their ranking. Everytime the stats are shown in Proleague matches they are without ACE games.

is an Korean Master account required or an master account in general, no mather the region?

One could hope for JD vs Flash finals, but with our luck we'll have herO vs $O$ again ^^ Still, it'll be an interesting tournament.

Let's not get too stupid, the boss toss is still pretty good.

I like the "take a screenshot". You can send replays now and account information  They kept it as it was before i guess.
Found this funny
Next they need to make a courage league !
Anyway, hoping to see a JD vs Stork , or vs FlaSh, or all of them :p
