DongRaeGu.
When does the next round of qualifiers start? Also, with seeds factored in, how many people are actually qualifying into code A tonight?

Hypothetically, consider DRG, QXC and Hero to be the three greatest Starcraft 2 players in the universe. They are all placed in the same Code-A qualifier mini-bracket. All other players in the other mini-brackets pale in comparison to these three. Hypothetically, the best players will not go through because 2 of the 3 greatest players in the world are eliminated. A double elimination style qualifier would likely increase the likelihood that the best players go through. Also, a double elimination would reduce the unfortunate circumstances when two or more excellent players are placed in the same mini-bracket. | ||

The thing is there are so many other great players who are also deserving, and double elimination takes a long time time, making it unrealistic to conduct in a single day. Still a shame about qxc. | ||

Bitter? Not really the fact remains that DRG didn't qualify and players that aren't even close to his skill will. That is just a fact. | ||

Even if double elimination was in, there'd still be players left out. There are just too many good koreans around. | ||

What? What does that have to do with anything about his point? All he is saying is that double elimination is a better way to get the best players from a tournament. That's undeniable. | ||

Just because it has always been used doesn't mean that it can't be improved. And just because you look for these improvements doesn't mean that you're bitter about the results. | ||
