Excuse me but what's the point of restricting this to Plat and below? It's not like diamond league has some sort of huge skill gap that you cross when you get into it, the majority of players there are just as bad as in any other league.

With this restrictions it seems you're making this into a D- only tournament. It's not like you can even enforce the rule, since people will just lose placement matches on purpose and then smurf and smash the wow players.

Basically any D+ player from iccup could get into diamond and by implementing this restriction, all you're doing is ensuring that the majority of TL will not be able to participate and will not care about this.

Thanks for the feedback.

The first rule states that diamond players may be allowed on a case by case basis but its just not encouraged. The Macro/Micro is a tournament where people who may of not ever been in a tournament will be able to. Most tournaments are restricted to high level gamers, this one is purposely not. Perhaps their experience in this tournament will lead them to try getting better in order to join more tournaments. More tournaments = bigger projection of e-sports = good thing.

There IS a big difference between a 200 rating Diamond player and a 1000 rating Diamond Player. Especially when you take out the people that constantly cheese.

The comment with smurfing. It's called honesty and integrity, some people still have it. I hope they show it by not signing up if all they plan to do is smurf. There is no money prize pool in this tournament and unless you consider smurfing to be fun (I consider it mean and dishonest in this case) you are just wasting your time.

As for your comment about the majority of TL. That is flat out wrong, the majority of SC2 TL, especially these days, are not Diamond Players. Especially not high rated Diamond.

I could give a shit if someone doesn't care about this tournament, all I care about is that it's fun for the participants (of which we will have plenty) and any viewers that will want to watch the stream(s). If it's fun for the participants, then it's a job well done in my book.
