This is the qualifier for SummerHeat finals.

Well, for those who have caught the H1N1, please be considerate for your fellow gamers by staying at home and rest till you are fully recovered. This virus is highly contagious. And there are confirm cases of spread during a recent other event which some DotA teams have contacted or suspected to contact H1N1. We will access the situation and will take neccessary measures if it's of concern.

To answer both you query together, qualifiers are events which teams play to win some early prizes and qualify for seeded spot into the main event that will take place later. Seeded spots are placed in the mid stage of the event and such that those teams who themselves a spots will be evenly spread out. They also do not have to pay again to be in the main event.
