A Kespa Cup is better than no Kespa Cup I guess, but EU/NA getting more welfare by the looks of it. Maybe they had to give EU and NA guaranteed spots in exchange for the guaranteed spots for Proleague players. Or maybe, against all odds, they don't mind as much. | ||

Actually think I read it wrong, like a lot of people apparently, so these EU and NA spots are going to by decided through EU and NA qualifiers then? I like that better, At least they'll have to play to earn the spot, granted it's against EU and NA players. I was annoyed because I thought they were just going to select 4 foreigners just like they select the Proleague players. | ||

I do not mean any offense, but when there is 8 people going through KR only qualifiers + herO, Maru, Zest and Stats the only chance i see for the foreigners is Zest going for a cannon rush lol Is that the same Olimoleague that Neeb was manhandled by Byun? | ||
