Regardless, I can't think of 11 clear invites any more than I can think of 13, and any list I've seen has been highly debatable. I also don't know what makes you think I'm anything but relaxed. The release about the event states that there will be 11 invites, Four regional qualifiers and the runner ups will play for the last spot. | ||

That's a waste of everyone's time so I decided to be as clear as possible. No idea why you feel the need to act like a tool.

So what are the undebatable 10 invites? | ||

Of that, I'd say Fnatic and Empire are debatable. However, even if we accepted all that and came up with a clear SEA invite, it's not 11 teams. | ||

Because at this point there is no team that has kept a roster as long as Fnatic and still been able to have decent results. I don't even like Fnatic as a team, but given this as a factor, I think they should be a lock for an invite. | ||

Not having a SEA or NA invite is basically a slap in the face to those regions. It's not possible to do without causing a shitstorm. Which is why I listed +2 because regardless of how undeserving you think the teams in those regions are, and regardless of how few invite slots you think Valve should have for TI, it is not possible for them to not invite at least one NA team and one SEA team. | ||

The 11th one will probably go to Newbee if they prove themselves in WPC. | ||

I don't mind having teams from "lesser" regions in the competition. Actually, I think it's good, and that's why they should have a qualifier. If it's not clear who should be invited from the region (and the fact that even those arguing for invites can't put forward who should be invited) then it shouldn't be decided arbitrarily. Regardless, you seem to agree with me that 11 is too many given that you've only offered 10 even with the unnamed SEA and NA team. Edit: God, I'm too slow. Well if the issue is purely about obnoxious fans not feeling "snubbed" based on zero logic then. . .Yeah, I think that's a really shitty way to run the most prestigious competition in eSports (or second most, superiormobagaming, etc.). I can understand it but it's a fundamentally different idea about what TI is to the one I have. | ||

Why would they not deserve it? because they haven't actually done anything notable aside from winning that captains draft tournament,which was yea a captains draft I mean I'm not even sure I would give empire a direct invite were talking about a direct invite to the biggest tournament of the year,I don't get why you guys think teams that didn't actually win a decent tournament through the year and just did ok deserve a invite if the team is good they are going to emerge through the qualifier i dont see what the deal is | ||
