After 5+ years of this, we keep hearing the same thing. invites that do not get accepted DO NOT GO INTO THE GRINDER.
Just because Japan had no qualifier, does not mean that those slots go into the grinder. Japan probably did something to assure their presence in the championships.
Now for those of you who still dont get the structure, it will go like this
Assuming 513-1024 entrants in division
R1 plays down to 512
R2 plays down to 256
R3 plays down to 128
R4 plays down to 64
R5 plays down to 32
R6 plays down to 16
and R7 plays down to the magic 8
Assume 7 rounds for the LCQ for masters, regardless of flighting, because if they flight us, then you play down to the top 4 in each pod, making the 8 invites.
The only way extras will get in worlds via LCQ, will be if P!P decides to open up to the T16, or even the T32 (however unlikely)
Assume 7 rounds, and if for some reason we get 1025+, then its 8 rounds.
Also, I have never seen a cap at the TCG LCQ ever. We came CLOSE 1 year with 252 players, however, that does not mean there wont be one this year.
