Hype! 14 Koreans and 2 Chinese players is global? The description is misleading. It is open qualifier like any IEM events do. Anyone can sign up. I think it may be hosted in KR server. That is all. Well it's basically a WCS Korea event, open in the same way as GSL and SSL are open. But still meant for Korean players (as Apollo confirmed on reddit). I'm not trying to be picky here but they are not the same. GSL and SSL are months-long event. You have to be physically in Korea to play. IEM has open ONLINE qualifiers for everyone to play. If you qualify, then you get the tickets to fly to Shanghai and play for like 4 days (weekend). That is it. How is that the same as GSL and SSL? It is more like Super Tournament. Trying to play with EU to KR ping makes this basically a KR only event.
Maybe Scarlett or Neeb can qualify.

Changing the WCS Challenger dates is just sad. If you announce something at the start of the year then don't change it in the middle of the season, especially in holiday season

iirc for Katowice koreans were qualifying through EU servers

I think everyone got a short stick in terms of tournaments tbh

Yeah, and even that was in favor of koreans:
3 slots for the European server qualifier.
3 slots for the American server qualifier.
6 slots for the Korean server qualifiers (3 each).

6 spots for foreigners and 6 spots for koreans. seems fair considering the WCS system is divided in Korea and the rest.

Snute could only really compete for 1 of 3 spots, where as Innovation could compete for 1 of 6 spots on two different occasions. You may think that this is fair, but I feel it is heavily tilted in favour of Innovation.

? They could also play NA qualifier.
Only on EU-KR and vice-versa the lag makes it unplayable.
so it's 2 qualifier for Snute (NA+EU) and 3 qualifier for Inno (NA+KR*2).
Considering that the KR qualifier is way harder than the EU qualifier I tthnk it's fair.
Only NA players had really an advantage here but given the quality of NA players I don't think it's to bad.

Yeah, all you have to do is put your life on hold, move halfway across the planet, and play in an offline qualifier that you may or may not advance past. Until this year it just wasn't viable for foreigners to play in GSL.
