The same retarded format (groups > Bracket Bo1)
When will qualifying information be published?
can you break down the qualifying process from here to the finals - if that info is available, otherwise when will finalised details be announced?

Pretty sure they are in Korea, the world finals part is not something we have control over.
Qualifying information and dates will be posted.
Qualifying process will be relatively simple, we will host many online tournaments (with a cash prize) and you gain points based on how well you do (and participation), most points are invited to finals.

Is this open to all SEA residents or strictly AU/NZ?

I'm actually not sure of this, will get an answer before league goes live

Pretty sure its just SEA people, but once the rules are up for the events, specific requirements will be in there

surely this is run as a geographic qualifier for the world finals, there would be some restrictions to participation. Everything is culminating in a live finals also, so you'd need to be able to get to that, right?

Unless people go in the satellites for a slice of the $200

Firstly nice announcement going to be awesome but secondly it doesn't look like Esports Daily did their homework. ESL.AU run there Go4LOL cup every sunday, Running two tournaments of LoL that are this big isn't too good.

whoahhhhhhh

We have done our homework, and the LoL events might be a little less frequent than the SC2 ones, regardless we will release a full schedule for you guys before the event kicks off.

Looks great, More League of Legends event. I'm liking this a lot. Of course Starcraft 2 :P

So i had a quick squiz at the liquipedia page for the aus qualifiers and it had the BSG, PD and M/GM qualifiers separate, will it be the same this year?

There is already 3-4 weekly/bi-weekly SC2 tournaments. People will have their preferences but we seem to manage. I understand its harder in LoL because you have to get 5 guys together. But if you wanna win it.. you gotta be in it. Plus this might be something iM LoL team doesn't win - with their track record of attending weekly tournaments

- I doubt it.. just give the prize to them, same everyone some time.
