Re: IRI - 2014 Team Invitations
This is an amazing team list. Frankly, the list of teams who didn't get in is pretty impressive itself. Some examples:

- 12 teams who made the elimination rounds at Champs did not qualify for IRI
- Team 1730, the #3 Alliance Captain on Galileo, did not qualify for IRI
- Team 341, the 6th overall pick on Newton, and MAR Champion, did not qualify for IRI
- Team 1285, GTR East Champs, and whose only elim defeats this season were to some combination of 254/1114/2056, did not qualify for IRI

I could list many other great teams who didn't get in, suffice to say that just qualifying for IRI is a huge accomplishment.
