meh I don't know about deserving a seeded spot. It's a good cohesive for the scene but I'm not the biggest fan of seeded spots. |

I think it will just mean another Korean will get a seed, not that it's a bad thing  |

| MLG coming out on top, making DH the qualifier for themselves. Anyway, it's good to see them work together for once. |

| Great to see two of the giants working together, hopefully Naniwa will finally be victorious at his home ground, and as a bonus receive a seed to MLG! :D |

The Qualifier will have a select number of spots per region. Some for North America, some for Europe, and some for Korea/SEA. The winner of Dreamhack will get one of the spots from Europe.
Is that clear enough? I dunno, I don't often have to explain English to foreigners. |

No, the reason it's not clear is because the DH winner will receive a direct invite to the 32 man spring arena 2. Therefore, why would he also need an invite to the qualifier when he doesn't need to play in the qualifier? |

Sounds more like MLG deciding to pay a trip for the DH winner than a "collaboration" (unless DH is doing something similar in return?).
Though, still like to see stuff like this happen. Good job. |

AHHHHH Yes it's clear now. Thanks
I felt something was missing like "extending to the player" but maybe to extend is transitive. I didn't know that. |

See it as a qualifier then. It's different when a seed is just awarded on arbitrary grounds. |

| This is good news. Players now don't have to travel to every single event in order to qualify for other events. It also may reduce the amount over overlapping tournaments. |

"MLG will be extending the player one of the European qualifying spots from the upcoming MLG Invite-Only Online Qualifier."
That line means that we will be giving the DH winner one of the spots that was originally slated to come from the European Invite-Only Online Qualifier. There will be one less spot to be one via the European Invite-Only Qualifier as a result.
Hope that clears things up. |
