Isn't top 16 of KR ladder occupied by like 2 guys? Lots of pros don't get the same opportunity to ladder, so I really disagree - it's completely unfair to the absolute best players, who are the ones you actually want at a tournament. Sure, it might reduce the chance for the up and comer to have a breakout performance, but they can still get there through the qualification tournament route, which I think is the way to go (invites just scream revenue seeking)
