I'm ok with it if it keeps the scene growing, letting new teams get experience isn't really a bad thing.

Nobody would eb mad if it wouldn't be the major.
I want to see the best teams possible for THE tournament.

Exactly.

Some people want to just see the same 8 teams play Bo9s all day - I'm fine with growing the scene and getting more teams in.

then make them deserve it and play several bo3s or bo2s.

its ridicilous that 2 bo1s=a spot at the most important tournament of the year in both prestige and money. And due to the sticker system even the worst loser gets a fuckton of money.

That's not a reason for letting anyone in. If those 8 teams prove to be the best again and again and again, then it's logical.

the team that went 1-1 and the 0-1 team that didn't play the 1-1 team stay in the group, the third team gets shuffled out.

that's what i'm pretty sure it is.

Preventing new teams from coming up will kill the CS scene.

I know it sucks that dig and Titan aren't here, but it will be healthier for the scene overall to keep letting these tier 2 teams take their shot at glory. Look at Luminosity, they wouldn't be as good as they are today without the opportunity to play the best.

Titan is here, I mistyped. The thing is that there are plenty of oppertunities and LANS to prove yourself as a t2 or t3 team these days, why is it that qualifying for the most important tournament in the world in terms of prestige and money is decided off the back of 2 bo1s? You make it seem like the major is the only competition in the world, its not.

That's fair in that I agree that qualifiers should probably be Bo3s. I still think if a "weaker" team happens to take a Bo3 off of a team like Dignitas, NiP, or Cloud 9 and qualify for the major, it shouldn't cause people to complain that "the major doesn't have the 16 strongest teams".

The qualifiers shoudl be some form of round robin imo. If a team can qualify that way it deserves the spot for sure

I dont care about "saving" the scene by creating bad formats to force upsets. Why cant they just have a good tournament/qualifier format. The fuck is bad about having a fair competitive format?

That way when an upset happens, you know it was the real deal.
