I'm not sure the full ins and outs of it, but they're selected based on where they came in their respective continental competitions. I imagine the top 4, or something?
And who is selected for those tournaments is based on how many "points" each individual gets, which are obtained by obtaining low legend ranks at the end of each month, and by winning/participating in smaller official tournaments across the globe.
The people participating are the top 4 players from latest three championship tournaments (no regional restrictions) and the top point earners from each region. There are some deviations from those rules (Muzzy was points #2 but Justsaiyan who was #1 already qualified through championships; Ike and Yueying were not top4 but two players from "the real" top4 had already qualified) but that's the main idea. All players have earned their spot, nobody was "hand-picked" by Blizzard (unlike in the upcoming Grandmasters thingie, if I may say).

Good afternoon.
Can someone explain to me why there is no Firebat, Pavel, Thijs, Kolento in the list of participants? How and who did the player selection?
Nobody. They didnt qualify. Btw why is it a problem?
