DC looks better than most EU teams. I know everyone wants to makes jokes about how bad NA team is, but Shazam was looking very strong as well. I think DC may even look better than teams like Vega and Secret.

A half major winning team wins the major quals. Region is a joke...

Yeah, the European qualifier could have been the same way if secret were forced to go through qualifiers because of their roster change.

Well, Sunsfan had a mostly USA team 4 days before roster lock. It's a US-based organization, even if it's a 4 European roster now.

I don't really see the relevance given that if the old team had played in the AM qualifier, nobody would be saying it was a joke. DC picked up a new roster and the new one is a European team. And that European team gaming the system and qualifying through the Americas qualifier isn't cool.

Seemed to work with Mousesports during the TI5 qualifiers amirite?

What are we supposed to do? Region lock pro players? Complexity has three Swedes on their team, Beesa and sLiCKz aren't American either. Moonmeander did the opposite and went to Europe and went through "the hard way" if that's what you're calling it. Or how about ChuaN playing for a Chinese team instead of competing in SEA?

Players who play in different regions because that's where the majority of their teammates happen to be is fine. I don't understand how you can fail to see a difference from that and a team that deliberately abuses the system and joins a region that isn't their natural one because they think it's easier. And that they can fail (e.g. Mouz, as you say) doesn't change the intention, which is the problem.

Yeah, because "abusing the system" was clearly their intention and you have proof to back that up. Misery chatting up his teammates on Skype and going "Hey boys, lets move to North America and wreck some scrubs. EZ qualifier win." W33 replys "Yeah, let's do this, fam."

But w/e, if you want to think a bunch of Euros moved to America for the weather then that's up to you.

In terms of solutions, that's hard because some teams might legitimately want to move to a different region (e.g. most NA team Secret, or ye olde LGD.int). I'm not suggesting that Valve can fix this. All I'm saying is that it's a joke. That's it. Not everything in the world that is a joke can be changed.
