We will choose four teams to particulate in each qualifier. One qualifier will be held on the North American server while the other will be held on Europe. Can any team particulate in this qualifier or is it just known/sponsored teams? + Show Spoiler + had to troll  | ||

I really hope all the top teams have been notified of this at least 2 weeks before this "announcement" but I doubt that will be the case. It's a shame because everything on the broadcast side is great. We understand that teams don't have much time before the deadline, but it only takes a matter of minutes to apply. | ||

If Empire enters, they will definitely win, (wait, why were they snubbed last season?) but that leaves out MYM, Millenium, Ai, and some other good teams. While the NA qualifier will probably bring in Reign or GoSu, and I can't say I'd expect either of those teams to be favorites against some of the European squads that won't be included. Why not make this league a twelve team league? Eight teams is too few, twelve would get just about all of the good teams out there, but still have some competition for the final spots. | ||

Agree, 12 teams would be much better.. Then if they still want the season to last 7weeks they could pick randomly 7 teams for each team instead of playing all 11 other teams. | ||

And even with 12 places, you could not give every good team a place in it. Every team has a chance to qualify ... so let's see who get's the spots | ||

I agree that European teams in general seem stronger, but if two Euro teams fell out of the league, whose fault is that? MYM and Millenium had their shot, with the former getting shellshocked, I'm not sure that MYM is "deserving" of a spot. And Millenium played decently, but yeah. Reign on the other hand, is a very strong team. You look at Kiwi/Slush and you've already got a fierce two 1v1s and an ACE in Kiwi (assuming he has the time, based on the fact he's going to WSOP I feel like Reign may not be as scary), I think they're scarier than any of the European teams outside of Empire. And if Team Liquid ever resolves the issue regarding server play or whatnot, I feel like they could also be scary (don't know if they'd do NA or EU, I'd assume NA though). | ||

Too be honest I don't think 4 more teams will bring in 33% more viewers and won't make the league 33% percent more entertaining, but you will have to pay casters more and teams more for having to fight through all of that. | ||

Having 33% more matches and therefore hopefully 33% more viewers is enough. More importantly though, is that a bigger league - possibly 12 or 16 - would make the competition more prestigious in the sense that it is THE team league outside Korea. I am aware that the SPL never had 12-16 teams, but then the SC2 world is a much bigger place with more teams than BW Korea. If this tournament expands, it can really establish itself as the premier team event, and possibly the biggest event in international SC2. Surveys have already shown that people are more interested in team competitions than individual competitions, but we are just lacking a tournament with the courage and infrastructure to accommodate it. Still, I don't like the fact that EG runs the team league, but there's no choice since no 3rd party has been willing to take that responsibility so far. Hopefully, EG can sell the competition for big bucks in the future and just partake as participants. | ||
