With 100K prize pool, they can make a16-players Global weekend event that actually has some decent sever qualifiers instead of this half-ass ranking + random invites + some silly fan voting.

Probably because it's good to have everything organized and scheduled in advance? Flights and hotels booked, etc. They didn't count season 3 for the Korean invites either, at least it's consistent in that regard.


They still have enough time if they made a vote last 7 days and then organize flights. Even though its difficult or impossible to vote from EU right now so the vote is already "rigged".


I don't think it's intentionally rigged. And you can vote from EU it's just difficult.

I'm curious to if he korean fans have been made aware of this? Afreeca must have put something on telling people where to vote etc

Even making it difficult makes it totally rigged as many people will just quit voting.

Can someone who has not voted yet post the results so far?
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

People this information is in the thread

To vote make sure:
- You have a character on the Americas server
- You use an old portrait (Kachinsky)
- Refresh after voting

Fuck off unless everybody has to do this, meaning all NA members and KR will have to create EU characters to vote.
This vote is void by default right now.

Its a $100K tournament. If it was just a showmatch with a small or non existent prize pool it wouldn't be so bad. The fact that its one of the biggest tournaments of the year (money wise) means it should have proper seeding/qualification.

There are players performing a lot better than byun or sos that haven't even got a shot at getting in. Plus, it's one of the only time we get to see foreigners vs Koreans, I want to see the best, not the ones reddit likes the most.

ByuN is top 4 in winrates this year.

He is worth shit without reapers. He does not know how to play Tetrran. He will expire soon. Goodby.

Your words are too bit too harsh but frankly I agree with you. ByuN is meh this year. He can micro reapers and that is all. I wouldn't want to see him at GSL vs The World. I would prefer seeing GuMiho or Maru instead.

You need to calm down. Blizzard screwed up some of their backend logic, that's all. People are trying to help by providing usable workarounds. Raging serves no point.

Yes he has good winrates, because he plays in more online cups than anyone else. It's not hard to have good win %'s when you're playing against lower level competition. Remember when Maru went 16-0 against foreigners at WeSG? You think he has a chance at doing that in Korea?

ByuN hasn't been close to looking like he can win a tournament this year. He's not even top 5 terran (Inno, TY, Gumiho, aLive, and Maru are all above him). But reddit loves anything he does, so gets into GSLvsTW easy........

Do you realize that his good winrates, especially online, is what made him win GSL & Blizzcon in the first place?
He is still ranked first on aligulac, he manages to beat very good opponents, he is definitely top 3 terran right now.
