This is kinda stupid, what happens if someone who has the potential to qualify , hits pig first round? Hes out of the tournament and cant qualify for SEASL because he got unlucky with brackets, by the same vain what happens if theres someone in the bracket who makes it to ro4 before hitting pig/mafia/targa/etc.
I understand your trying to let them have a chance with the prizepool but if I get beaten by anyone who has already qualified I am going to feel cheated out of spot and I'm sure so will most other people.

This is called "Competition" and it happens in every single major sport/e-sport in the world.
Regardless it doesn't make sense for players who have already qualified for an event be allowed to play in another qualifier for the same event. I mean, sure you might have to beat them in the event anyway (assuming you qualify) but it ruins the legitimacy of the event imo.
This is a similar issue to the whole having moonglade/tgun play as a mercenary for SEACL, if the team he plays for wins they won't gain credit due to having glade play for them. In the same vain, if I lose to mafia in round 1 and he goes on to win the event and someone gets the luck of the brackets and doesn't hit a player who can't qualify till semis then auto qualifies, then I will be incredibly frustrated because a player got lucky. (comparatively)
I understand that this is an issue you have to deal with anyway but when the players in question have ALREADY QUALIFIED, in my opinion hurts all the competitors except for those who qualified prior. (Just because you don't want to exclude them from an event with a pretty significant prize pool)
I honestly think it would be easier to just have another CO, let the players play in this and then have the qualification separate. In fact this is basically akin to the byun/coca incident.
Whatever thats just my 2 cents
