Open Online Qualifiers – March 30-April 15 – Online Only, Not Broadcast

The season kicks off March 30-April 15 with the MLG Spring Regional Open Online Qualifiers. 128 players will compete in each region (NA/KR/EU). For the first time, we've worked closely with Blizzard to invite top Battle.net players to participate in one of our competitions. The Top 32 from each of the NA and EU Blizzard Grandmaster ladders will be invited to compete, and anyone else can register for the remaining spots. The Top 8 players from the Open Online Qualifiers will go on to compete in the Invite-Only Online Qualifiers later in the season. Registration will begin later this week, so check the site for details. These qualifiers will not be broadcast.

Here's the DOUBLE ELIMINATION bracket guys!

If you consider Spring Arena 2 as a qualifier for the Championships, these are actually qualifiers for qualifiers for qualifiers for the Spring Championships.

Open Online Qualifiers -> Invite-Only Online Qualifiers -> Spring Arena 2 -> Spring Championships.

The others probably have already qualified through other means? e.g. going to Winter and getting ranks 9-80 or something like that

I think you need your eyes checked. I see Code S champions and fan favorites throughout that list. Not to mention a ton of code S and A players as well.

Maru is such a beast lately, winning in almost every tourney he participates. Such a joy to watch a young talent like that

Might want to add its double elim to the OP, so players who have lost are not out yet.

Actually, I think the new qualifiers will be
Ranks 9-80 from MLG Winter Champs
Top 8 from KR, EU and NA servers

So this is pretty much their only chance if they didn't attend Winter Champs

These are then split into NA, EU and KR servers again, and Top 8 from each of those will qualify for Arena 2. Arena 2 will also have the Top 4 from Arena 1 and 4 invited participants AFAIK.

Found this on the MLG page:

Please note: anyone who played in the Winter Arena but did not attend the Winter Championship will also be invited straight into the Invite-Only Online Qualifiers.

So I guess Nestea, MVP, Leenock etc aren't trying their luck until then ._.
