If it were based on WCS points, yes. But based on Proleague records I think it's perfectly fine. They invite the best players of a whole Proleague season with spots in Kespa Cup. I don't see what the big deal there is.

As for NA and EU seeds, "NA/EU Seed Challenge" sounds like a qualifier, right?

You'd think so but it's under invites, so who knows.

I think that just means 2 spots are reserved for EU and NA respectively? And then everything else is open qualifiers on the KR/TW server.

Yes for proleague is fine but no the na and europe are invites therefore those ppl dont have to qualify in kr server where theres little to no chance how is that fair? Why those 2spots couldnt just be an open qualifier? Why has to be invitew

If it follows WCS rules it needs to have some regional qualifiers.

Are you completely sure they're invites and not just NA/EU only spots? If they are invites then I agree, it isn't fair. Especially if they're based on WCS points.

I can agree with that. Proleague invites are great and I love it. Though other spots should be decided through qualifiers.

"WCS (Global) Events with less than 32 players: At least 8 spots must be attainable through an open qualifier"
Blame Blizzard's rules

Invited players will get no WCS points unless they win a series though

Kenzi thinks they're qualifiers.

There's a difference between region restricted qualifiers and open qualifiers, which is why they are separated I think.

Maybe the qualified players get "invited", as in having their travel cost paid for? Might just be a translation thing.
