After disappearing from the pool scene and rumours of his death flying all over the place, I just saw on the IPT website that Rafael is listed as a player in the NA-17 qualifier.
Great news!

Edit: Wow, I just noticed that Rafael plays Justin Bergman first and then has to play Richie Richeson next if he wins. Tough way to start a comeback if he hasn't been competing lately. Still, he's one of the greatest talents I've ever seen and it wouldn't surprise me if he won a spot for Vegas.
