But the pass is for online qualifiers. How can someone that lives in one of these states compete in the open online qualifiers? Or can we just not compete at all? That seems quite unfair.

Players who finished 1st-80th in the Spring Championship will receive an email from Jason Nye (jnye@mlgpro.com) today or tomorrow. Those Players can either reply to the email directly or send a separate email to jnye@mlgpro.com with their Invite-Only Online Qualifier Region choice.

Trust me, its a pain in the arse. I got knocked out of the MSI online tourney, in a very close game 3, and the player moved on - only to not play his next round and he got DQ'd. Woulda been better if he just didn't register in the first place. He only got to the second round because he got a buy... Win. That's all that matters. Win. Nobody likes to lose.

Roarer Profile Joined December 2011 Hong Kong 124 Posts #14 Is there anyway to see the overall format for the summer championship in the MLG site? I think in spring, the open qualifiers granted entrance to the Arena 2, but not Arena 1. Never argue with an idiot, cause they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience =﹏=

Not the MLG site, but:

MLG Summer Season Dates



They're going back to having a single SC2 Arena for the season (instead of a second SC2 Arena, there will be an Arena for LoL).

What does this mean?



Also, a total of 144 players in the open bracket; with 32 being removed each round in loser's..so wouldn't that be anyone round 3 or above would be top 80?



Thanks,
