So if I get this right, those that won the qualifier for WCS Leipzig for Europe and North America get a seed to the qualifier, not those that actually did well in Leipzig, like Showtime who reached the final or Special, who reached the semi. Sounds a bit weird to me to be honest. I think it would have been better to skip this and let everyone qualify. That would mean more action for us viewers, and we could do with that.  | ||

Shifting Mexico to Latin America gives the region more weight I suppose (pun intended  ) | ||

I'm going to be a Community Caster for these qualifiers and who knows what else, hopefully i can bring some more eyes to this and to players playing in it. There obv will be other Community Casters as well for it, if a player in the brackets is about to start a game and wants their game casted and i'm not already in a game casting...let me know and i'll cover it. I want to cast as many games as possible and give coverage to as many players and as much of the bracket as possible | ||

I know there's a lot of controversy surrounding avilo, but I always support when a person/player/organization supports a scene. He has a large following, and he can bring a wider exposure to the NA scene than other people. | ||

He was doing some decent analysis in a crazy printf game, talking about walling off and mindgames and potential counters and so forth Also not raving about maphacking or imbalance or anything like that Well he's not the one playing, so he can afford to be magnanimous. | ||

Bracket says NoRegreT beat "BadSheep" in the losers bracket, so he presumably was there, unless they were all no shows? Edit: Apparently he overslept and didn't make it. puCK got knocked out by printf though! | ||

It says he got knocked out by Disk in the next match. puCK also got knocked out by Silky and printf. NoRegret and puCK are both playing from Korea, and the qualifier started at about 9 AM for them. 150+ ping and overall tiredness explains a lot. | ||
