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

It will be qualifiers, but invited qualifiers, thus the seed challange.

Dont think this changes too much for Korea Blizzcon chances
Last spot's now a fight between Classic, Patience and sOs (either wins GSL or needs to win CF+KeSPA to have a chance)

If ByuN wins GSL, herO and Cure still has a chance if they win Kespa Cup. They can barely knock Classic out assuming he doesn't qualify.

It could make a difference for foreigners, though. The bottom spots are still quite contested. That makes this especially interesting, because there's nothing else for foreigners to get WCS points from (aside from Mexico), so they really should be trying hard at this event.

Seriously 8 Koreans will have to play for a spot while 4 other Koreans who did well all year long in PL get invited while 4 foreigners who did nothing for that tourney will get a free spot, too? Like i find it funny that Kespa Cup isnt being a dick and saying fuck the players from the other WCS circuit (foreigners) they have no place here (unlike every other event 2016 ... -.- ) and then they give out 4 spots for free while the other 12 spots are kind hard earned? Wut?

The NA and EU spots are from qualifiers, not invites based on WCS standings/results. Not based on speculation or interpretation.

The best thing about this is that we'll get another qualifier where we can spend hours refreshing brackets. That's half the fun of Korean tournaments.

The WCS points are huge! Seems we may have some lat minute invitee at Blizzcon.

But why monday finals? Well thankfully I am done working by then .

Clearly because October 3rd is a holiday in Germany. We are the core audience of KeSPA Cup. Confirmed.

Frost and Frozen should be good enough for the really good ones to qualify.
