I was thinking the same thing. Rokkun needed this way more than Nemo did. But gatekeeping prevails once again.

sad to see a young boy get so close to a Capcom Cup berth

He has enough points but now has the premiere slot. That frees it up for other players now.
Would have been what, 4th or 5th Seth in CC finals?

He would have been the 4th after Poongko, Dashio and Problem X if he made it as well.
Hard to call it gatekeeping with that much money on the line.

It's actually true that they're doing more general esports stuff, I think. I don't think they're actually moving away from the FGC though.

Oh never angry. Winner gets $8k so there is no gatekeeping at these premiers with money. This result benefited those in the Capcom Pro Tour Asia Finals as now Nemo, Xian, Bonchan, and Infiltration are qualified. You can now get into Capcom Cup with a 5th place finish so players like Dakou, MOV, and Misse are probably happy with that result. Players around the 100-150 mark are probably happy too.

Nemo knows the Red Bull 5g people. The favorites to be the next Red Bull player are Nemo and Xian if Red Bull were to pick up a 3rd player. Xian reps Red Bull a lot and Nemo has hung out with Red Bull people in Japan a lot.
Yup. I've seen gatekeeping at low level MTG events with pithy prizes, but luckily they're ditching handing out points at tiny events.
Nemo was just as stun as Bonchan with the RB Kumite. Since then both wanted to be related with Red Bull somehow

It was playable in the venue, but that's about it. They also had the screenshot of the beta details.

So now you can see why separating the points and qualified players into separate categories is pointless. The premiers will very likely not have that much of a difference into who gets into Capcom Cup unless players decide not to travel to them so the points spots will keep reverting to the top 32 standings more and more.
Asia Finals is the one tournament that has a good chance at shaking up the top 32 standings. The last 2 ranking events will also have a bigger chance to effect the standings.

That was a great tourny. Great matches. I missed the top 4 or so. Dammit. Hope they upload quickly.
If i'm not wrong at the moment Xian it's the only outsider that has confirmed he'll go to Milan Games Week.
No Topanga A League members will join. Maybe we could see Fuudo and Mago but it seems it'll be a tournament with not many asians. The only ones that could travel are the YBK crew (At the moment it doesn't seem like) and Gonzalez (Maybe).
So probably a good chance to see an european taking the direct spot. But to be honest, right now it doesn't look like someone besides Valmaster and Problem X could win Luffy... Maybe Gagapa could be another contender (Idk if he'll go to Italy).
Will see.

Haitani is going too.
edit: I just found the list.
Non-EU known players: Haitani, Xian, Shiro, Reiketsu, Gonzalez, Tonpy, Fuudo, Dark Jiewa, and RB.
In top 32 at the moment: Haitani, Xian, Shiro, Tonpy, Fuudo, Dark Jiewa, Luffy, Problem X, and Valmaster.
In top 32, but need points: Haitani, Valmaster
Players that could make a dent in the top 32 with top 3-4 finish: Ryan Hart, Infexious, RB, Phenom, Gonzalez

To be honest, next weekend probably will determinate who's going to capcom cup. Pretty sure most of topanga league players will attend Canada Cup next month.
The premier event with no many top of the top asians and 2 ranking events that most likely will have US players split. As soon as registration list start to pop up we can start to see the odds.
I wonder if any asian player will attend costa rica (Imo the one that seems to be the less stacked tournament to get points). RB, could you send AiAi to Costa Rica?
edit: Costa Rica right now has Pr Rog, 801 Strider and Itabashi Zangief confirmed.
