Yeap. We are assuming the top 2 will be part of the qualified players there already on Saturday, if not there will still be one week to work out an alternative plan. The showmatch should take less than an hour and if there's a clash we can simply re-schedule so its not an issue.

No Malaysian qualifiers?

I think it's probably best that you look at rescheduling considering a wide range of factors including:
1) Fatigue from playing GESC all day Saturday, followed by this, followed by ACL the next day.
2) Part of me is hoping that people come to ACL to play their group matches on Saturday once they're done at GESC, but part of me knows that's unreasonable because...
3) The psychological impact of losing one tournament and then being forced to play another one... It's not healthy. People need time to recover between events. Read IdrA's blog on the whole MLG/NA WCS clusterfuck. Throwing a 3rd event into that weekend just makes an already-stressful weekend (for event management & players alike) even more difficult to accommodate.
