Today, "All teams must play in qualifier, they are not playing enough game at all". In 1 year, "Please stop making top teams play in qualifier, this is meaningless and hype killing". ive been asking for full qualifiers since forever also, get rid of lower bracket while you are at it | ||

I think the 10 invite structure is probably about where things will end up, after we get through Manila. I think the Play-In Wildcard series is a good thing. (Would have liked to see it for Manila, as well.) | ||

The problem is there isn't enough time for high-tier teams to justify playing in qualifiers for tournaments they're not invited to-they'd have to drop out of a few at the last minute, which was kind of a big problem for the scene for a while. I definitely didn't consider that, actually. | ||

It was true when the scene was not so stacked and many tournaments offered very little rewards, now that prize pools are going up and that the top3 is very far from decided, I don't see any reason to give this advantage to so many teams. Many tournaments are going for different phase qualifiers too, which is perfectly in line with what some of us want. It will also provide the perfect ground for the new blood to sharpen, which they lacked for a very long time. | ||

Is this how this works? The reason Liquid is considered one of the few top teams is that they're probably the only consistent team right now. Sure they haven't had a 1st finisher since the Defense for big tournaments but they're practically always top3. And they're already locked into the upper bracket for Epicenter as well. Wings had that win but I don't see the consistency yet, unlike Newbee. | ||
