Bracket for finals: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2012_StarCraft_II_World_Championship_Series/North_America/Nationals/USA
(This thread is all about USA Nationals Qualifiers and Invited players. If you received and accepted an invite to the finals let me know and I'll update)
The StarCraft II World Championship Series USA Nationals will be held at the MLG Spring Championship – June 8-10 at the Anaheim Convention Center
The top 16 players from the USA Nationals will qualify for the Starcraft II North America Finals which will be held at the MLG Summer Championship – August 24-26, (Raleigh NC) 32 players from the StarCraft II World Championship Series–Canada Nationals, USA Nationals, and Mexico Nationals–will compete in a Best-of-3 games, double elimination tournament for $30k in prizing. The top players from the StarCraft II North America Finals will receive invitations to compete in the Battle.net World Championship in Asia later this year.
Some players have received emails with a direct invite to the USA Nationals which will be happening in June during the MLG Spring Championship, 8 players will be decided through a CSL qualification tournament strictly for CSL players and for the rest of USA players qualifying will be done through the following open qualifiers starting TOMORROW.
How this will work with players who could possibly (definitely?) be playing in both MLG Spring Championship open bracket and the USA Nationals will be interesting...Also there is a seemingly big lack of information including rules, map pools and other stuff. Looks like there's a WCS set of maps the qualifiers will be using. I assume these maps will also be used in the finals.
