After inquiry by SK, Carmac responded with:
Noting, however, that players who asked to be signed up for the tournament will have to pay for their own entrance tickets to Gamescom. There will still be four spots for people signing up at the ESL Booth, awarded through a lottery.
So far only four players have been invited, being Shane 'rapha' Hendrixson, Bogdan 'Bodzo' Mazur, Mikael 'PURRI' Tarvainen and Oleg 'eoe.d1ablo' Kogut with more being announced soon. They will join up with Jeffrey 'Draven' Debipersad, Felix 'smoke' Pafel, Kevin 'Strenx' Baeza and Richard 'noctis' Gansterer, all of whom qualified through the online qualifiers.
The map pool will be the same as the one used during Quakecon. A map pool that was asked for by players. However, unlike Quakecon this time the rules let people drop two maps before choosing their own home map.
