To make up the numbers for the 16 player Finals bracket, the community will have the opportunity to vote on the final 4 players. Both SEA and NA will get their own voting polls, from which the top 2 players of each poll will be given an invite to the finals.
To be eligible for inclusion in the voting polls, a player must have played in one of the qualifier rounds.
