dont really follow 1.6 much, so can someone explain to me why SK or ex-vitrolic or Made in Brazil are not there?

Each country has a local qualifier to determine who gets to represent their country at WCG. SK placed 3-4th at WCG Sweden after losing to H2k 1-2 and only the top 2 qualified (fnatic & h2k). Same goes for mibr, I believe they lost the grand final to firegamers and there was only 1 slot available.

All these flags for real, people from all those countries will actually be playing there? Yugolavia doesnt even exist as a country any more, for example.

Yea, people from Bangladesh, Nigeria and Kenya will also be playing. The Yugolavia flag is temporary, since Serbia wasn't in the drop down list (and the new automated group system requires flags). That will be fixed pretty soon, but all the other countries are correct and actually attending.
