Erik is actually pretty good as far as I remember him from Nation wars but he is always in a direct competition with Kelagod for one spot to qualify, or with the Mexicans for 2 or 3 spots, so we don't see him often. Edit: HalfBreed, ByRada, Jarppi and Eggz also seems pretty good according to their Copa and Chalenger results, but they always lose to one of top guys, Kelazhur, Cham, or Major.SA with Mexico is probably stronger then NA (at least at the top). We need Topin to give more inside information about the SA scene  | ||

2 slots to SA when there is only 1 quality player from the region? (Kelazhur) 5 for Europe? South Korea should have at least 4 slots. | ||

That makes no sense. Ofc Korea should have more based on playerstrength but im fine with the regional system | ||

S.Korea gets one player for their region and likely the second player is for being the "host country." Five players from Europe also makes sense given their population density and the number of countries these players need to represent. I'm fine with the player distribution. Whichever Korean ends up going to this thing is probably going to win it anyway and if you really need to get your Korean SC2 fix then just watch their qualifiers and skip the main tournament. | ||

NA: Neeb, SpeCial, Cham, Scarlett, and possibly MaSa have a chance to win qualifying spots. Probably not the best set of players but definitely enough to justify 2 spots. EU: I don't want to list all of them but look at the Ro16 from the WESG qualifiers. There's enough quality there to justify 5 spots. SA: I agree with you. Aside from Kelazhur I don't know anyone else good enough to deserve that second spot. Not to mention the fact that the Africa slot is going to go to a European anyway so.... | ||
