The Intel Extreme Masters Kiev
event is fast approaching, and we’d like to share the details on how to qualify for the South East Asia Region.
Sorry about the confusion with the previous thread, we were waiting for all the cups to be generated before posting the thread. I'll post it now however.
2 Player from South East Asia is eligible to attend the IEM Kiev event in Ukraine. Here is how we will determine who this player will be:
Anyone is eligible to enter these qualifiers, however there will be a maximum of 32 players per qualifier, so make sure you sign up fast! More than 32 players can sign-up, but only 32 can check in. So make sure you're online an hour before the events to be one of the first 32 to check-in. You will be able to sign up for all/any of the qualifiers at the same time. If you have signed up for all the qualifiers and you qualify in the first event, your sign-up will then be removed from the further events.
The qualifiers will be bo3 double elimination style. Because this is a qualifying event, players will be manually seeded according to their skill level in previous ESLSEA cups. If players have not competed in any ESLSEA cups, then they will be added to a group and randomly seeded after all the known players have been.
1 IEM slot at SEA Final (Championship Brackets) - Friday the 9th December 2011
This means you have 4 chances to qualify for the championship brackets. The top 2 of each qualifier cup will qualify for the final, and then the winner up of the final will go on to Kiev, Ukraine. The Faster you can qualify, the better your seed will be.

If be vacation you mean you'll be back living in norway and no longer a resident of South East Asia then I'd imagine the answer is no. Otherwise we'd have koreans qualifying for this shit and that just would not do.

@TargA,
If by "holiday" you actually mean holiday, then yes you would qualify. If however, you are no longer a resident of Australia, and instead are living in Norway again, then you would not qualify for the tournaments.

You have to pay your own way however 12th-16th get $600 so in a round about way ESL pays for some of the flights/accom
This is correct
Unfortunately the players have to pay their own way, but the $600 participation prize will cover a portion of the costs.

Flights look to be around $1500 and you can find accommodation from as low as 30 euro a night.
I know it sounds expensive, but as you said Zendex, the benefit of playing on a world stage, and meeting some of the worlds best players (and being counted in that group), to some, outweighs the cost.

The Chad is too busy archon-toileting Grand Masters on a wireless laptop from an incredible Mediterranean beach surrounded by models on a sofa made of money. He wins games with one hand, the other holding out a goblet made of nerd skull pieces with a bronze skinned supermodel pouring the rarest of wines into it. After finishing the pouring, she is honoured to be able to kiss one of his MANY 24k gold rings and then leave his glorious presence.
Congratulations to all those that qualified and good luck to everyone on Friday! Props to Benji for casting!
