He won CEO so he's already qualified for CapCup. You'd think he'd be going for that 15k pot bonus at EGX since he doesn't need points.

I'm aware of that, but from the looks of it ever regional final has a 15k pot bonus just like a Premier tournament. If he wins the ranking event his biggest threats at the Regional Finals will be Justin and Chris T I guess. The comp at EGX isn't that strong though so he would have had a good chance at winning that had he gone. But maybe he already planned this far in advance.

tokido was invited to the chile cpt event. and i think the Japanese players have made a gentlemen's agreement to not compete in a premier event if you've already qualified.

Daigo has done well vs Luffy, but it's still Mika. Scared for my boy.
Just checked, they switched to have a straight 32 man bracket with nobody losers bracket. Uh... I really hope they didn't use the pools to determine seeding for winners and losers.
