They had to invite this many teams this time around to avoid fucking up both EU qualifiers and main event.
EHOME was a trade.

The only viable one would be a wildcard, so something like top 4 + 2 performance + 2 qualifiers per region + 2 wildcards for 4 3rd places of qualifiers.
That sounds like the best system I've heard proposed. Only issue is ping concerns for the wildcards.
Valve could afford to fly out the teams for a LAN wild card. Round robin groups, double elim bracket.

There kinda is, China and SEA do play at different servers and are different.
EU West is kinda hard to distinguish from Russian server however.

Well yeah, LAN wildcards obviously.

i'd do it like the uefa does it for their european competitions.
the better the teams of a certain region do in the competitions, the more teams will play internationally the next season.
quick example:
lets assume the wildcard matches are back for every major (because they have a purpose, i just wait for another ti2 debacle in that regard).
at ti5 SEA would only get 2 qualifier spots, but because they had decent results at ti5 and the upcoming tournaments for frankfurt they get 1 invite and 1 qualifier spot. europe for failing pretty bad loses one invite.
you can even do cool things with the direct qualification and wildcard matches for the qualifier.
i would like such a system, because it makes the whole invitation process much easier to understand.

They didn't.
They could've done eight teams; we all thought they were going to do eight teams; and many of us already had an idea about the eight teams to invite.

Secret, Liquid, EG, MVP seem obvious, the next 4 seem a little debatable.

At the same time I wonder now much more attention smaller teams get because of the increased # of invites.
Like it's a bit of a shame for teams like Empire, AF, or ND where one of them could easily take Na'vi or Alliance's slot, but at the same time ND gets the Synderella story and on NA side you at least get some extended eyeballs on teams like Dragneel, FDL, Shazam, etc. that otherwise would may have bombed out "early" in a more competitive qualifier and just gone by unnoticed.
If they really wanted to though it'd be neat to have like 4 invite + a few teams from each region play in a small 2 or 4 team tournament where the losers get an added to main qualifiers and winners get a direct invite. So like you still pave the way for the qualifiers to showcase new/smaller teams, but you limit the direct invites a bit more.

If they do eight teams, then they have to purposely:
1. Either Shit on Fnatic/complexity to avoid 4 SEA/4 NA teams at Manilla.
2. Or Put Alliance/OG/Navi into EU qualifier, and that means kicking Polarity (okay), PR (okay), one of VP/Vega/Empire/Spirit/Ad Finem/No Dig (TOTALLY NOT OKAY).

Depends how you see it. For me, servers mean nothing. The only reason China is different from SEA isnt geographical or anything else, its the Chinese rules and how the country is governed. Thats the sole reason.
The overall quality of SEA teams is below EU or CIS yet they have their own qualifier. And that imho isnt right or fair.

Seriously... for me slacks is the personalization of a rubberband graph.. he built up his reputation for me being funny for a bit, then dipped down massively because of dumb comments and just a cringeworthy attitude.
then he climbed up again once more with this major brawl which was funny gotta give him that but with THIS right now the graph went totally downhill. Seriously this guy is just a somewhat douchebag who seems to be there just present his memes. I have to side with Nahaz on this one...

Servers do matter, for starters, even Korea->SEA ping is horrendous enough for MVP.P to play their online matches from Singapore. CIS usually does not have this problem with EU except Russia (starting from Ural) but that's mainly because Russia is too big for it's own good.

Spirit kind of suck, but not that hard to kick them from qualifier invites.
