So it turns out it wasn’t Planet Zero’s fault and they had the best intentions but it was SBO’s fault. My guess is that the last LAST minute qualifier they threw to get Daigo into SBO screwed up PZ’s team AND Kuwait’s team. What shady bullshit.
the last minute qualifiers was announced like 6 months ago. SBO could just messed up and give out too many qualifiers.
they have last chance quals every year, and it’s always for 2 teams… so it’s daigo/iyo and shiro/neurosis
edit: it was all SBO’s shady dealing making the “weakest” team fight to get into top 32.
Shoutouts to Japanese racism and shady dealings
LOL, why it gotta be between USA and Kuwait? Why not a Japanese team? OF COURSE~! - Raul Julia’s Dictator voice.
GSL is 10 dollars for a month of HD pro live games and VODS broadcasted in English.
SBO is 25 dollars for a few hours of unknown quality pro games broadcasted in Japanese with no VODS.
What the fuck Japan.
Anybody have a schedule for SBO? The only source I found so far is the Tougeki website and guess what? The schedule is a .jpeg that can’t be translated via an in-browser translator.
Japan Sucks!! True Story 
man fuck this. The Japanese players need to support international players on this bullshit. The international scene treat Japanese players with hospitality and endless support. They need to step up and treat their guests with some amount of respect and threaten to boycott the motherfucker if foreign spots are taken away.

色々あって遅れてます。海外の弱い組～の情報は間違いです。正確にはクェートチームが遅れていて参加できるか不明だったので、そこに入ることになりました。
“weakest group~” information is wrong.
na, evo put two jp players in a 16 people pool. Momochi had to play jp players way before top 32.
To be fair I am very, VERY certain the Japanese feel embarrassed about this. It’s a huge embarrassment and isn’t how they want the entire world to see their most prestigious tournament.

Yeah when I was watching EVO, I thought to myself that Momochi came to America to lose to Japan.
i didn’t said evo did anything wrong. it’s just hard to manage tournaments.
Well, if they separated the JPs players properly, it would be all JP in top 8 which they probably wouldn’t want.
