This event is first and foremost the SEA Masters Cup. We shall not restrict or deny players the opportunity to participate, except if it conflicts with our long running rules, which have been formed with the support of the community.

It is also worth acknowledging that this is the 2nd Masters Cup to serve as a SEASL qualifier. Previous SEASL qualified players were allowed to participate in that event, without concerns being raised.

The SEASL spots were added into this Masters Cup as additional reward, and ties in with other established Sc2sea run events. It also serves as additional exposure for both events, our community, and all players involved.

Couldn't the case be made that as each qualifier goes by it gets easier? Would not the first qualifier be the hardest in theory. This Masters Cup will offer at least that same level of difficulty for all, if not more.

Whoever gets the spots will have to earn them, whether they come 1st/2nd, or 3rd, 6th,etc. It's a big event full of quality opposition. The spots will go to the next best in line, provided someone outside of the already qualified group doesn't win. Take a look at some names not qualified, and they certainly match up against that player pool.

Concerns about losing to someone like PiG early are also a little confusing. You would have to play someone at least around the same level in the SEASL finals anyway, so best to earn it, and prove you can match it with them in this tournament.

-Just some of my thoughts on the issue, and clarification about Masters Cup position regarding the qualifying spots and our established rules.
