I read that as:

"SEA, Oceania, CN and TW, dont waste your time on us, we're not wasting it on you"

Why the hostility? I think it's amazing they are even holding qualifiers for the championship finals given the currently qualified players had to win or come second at a previous IEM let alone providing an opportunity for us. Sure it will be a meat grinder but what do you expect it's the championship finals. They don't owe us anything.

Actually 4/6 of the IEM qualifiers this year have been a "meat grinder" (aka a waste of time), no hostility just the honest truth, the event already has 6/16 Koreans and very likely to be 8/16 after Cologne, itd be nice to see a "World Championship" actually be represented by well the world. I will say this is slightly better in that they are not wasting everyone outside of Korea this time by not have regional qualifiers that feed into "Asia" finals. Of course they dont owe me anything nor do I owe them anything.
