Wait wait...so you don't want every top player to play in ISL3?

As suggested by Sayle, due to the repetition of the rules per round, the altered rules per round have been highlighted red for emphasis.

I prefer the 7 qualifiers instead of the laddering. if someone is really good, for example Kashu. He s really good, but he's kinda busy, maybe not having time to play ladder, and reach high ranks in 4-5 weeks. In ladder you can play unlimited games, you can have more points than a better player of you. Anyway i don't think beetwen ladder qualification and qualifier tournaments we would get different top16 players.

Not really, I call those an invitational.
Everyone should have a chance at qualifying in the tournaments, whether they're good or not. I think Ladder will only become an abusive way for top players to keep qualifying every single time, guaranteed (Unlike in the past where people actually had to fight for the top few spots, even if they were good).
It also allows people who don't play bw frequently (or don't have time to) to qualify while also keeping up with whatever they do irl.

Qualifiers are still better (slightly) than ladder imo

Good luck to all the players! Especially BEAMFACE. If he doesn't play I will be a sad panda sponsor.

I think the best way to reduce variance is to make it double elimination. introduce a loser bracket like in defiler's tournament where it's bo1 and the bracket is flipped(you play players from the other side of the bracket)
where u bin?

I'm actually genuinely interested to see how the different format works! Experimentation is the best way to find out what's best, and just sticking to the same format every time means we might be missing something pretty entertaining. Give this a chance, guys- it could be great to update how we run these things. We just don't know yet!

Well, we've done the same with GosuCup 2months ago, and are planning to do the same in the next one again.
Besides that, the loser bracket also includes alot of additional time.

I think it should stay like it is. Only change - maybe no limits for qualies.

In the current format, johny23 could qualify for the ISL3 if he got a lucky bracket.

He could also qualify if he played 1000 ladder games, if it were ladder format.
