Alternate wants (They said so) and have enough players, but how can you play a qualifier when the full roster is at HSC IV when the qualifier for the team events (NASL and IPL TAC) are being played?? | ||

Vile is, in my opinion, a very underrated team, with a very solid showing at MLG Providence with 3 players making it to the Championship Bracket. With guys like Ddoro, Yong, State, Illusion, Chance, Hashe and Spanishiwa, I think that it is definitely possibly for them to upset teams like mTw that rely heavily on big guns like Dimaga and TT1 (though I do not think they will be able to knock down IM, but then again, no one predicted qxc to all-kill IM either). | ||

And then letting each team play in the 2nd qualifier if they already played in the first? Better to just call it an invite tournament, don't see the point in trying to mask it as something else. It would be nice to have any team with 5 players to just sign up, but there are time constraints I believe. For the IPL 3 qualifiers, there was a $20 entry fee to weed out people who would not take the games seriously. However, that was Bo3. This qualifier will be Bo9. From watching the Team Arena, a Bo9 between most teams could last 2 to 3 hours. With the sheer magnitude of matches, letting just any team with 5 players participate will not be feasible. It is basically a semi-open qualifier, in the sense that there is a barrier for unknown teams. It's a pity, but letting any team just sign up would take too much time. | ||

If you were IGN, how would you make it better for the different teams and the fans? As a fan, I wouldn't want to see a semi-pro team get completely dominated in the tournament by a really good pro team. | ||

The problem I have, is that the selection criteria seems VERY random. You have CyberNation, who to be honest, has nobody other than SarenS (who hasn't shown much in the past months) You have Dream Team Gaming who, while I love JM and what he's doing, is essentially a lesser developed version of my team. You have ANZAC who I literally can't find a shred of information about (though from what I gather it's an Aussie/NZ team) You have LighT who is the newest team on the block (well, it's essentially KiwiClones, so that's pretty justified) NrG has Luckyfool. mTw, NSHoSeo, Incredible Miracle, ZeNEX, x6, It'sGosu, Infinity Seven and ROX.KIS and eSahara all speak for themselves. | ||

I'll get my guys to change it when they wake up tomorrow, sorry for the omission. For now, complete listing of participants is here: http://challonge.com/tac2qualifier1/participants | ||

Out of those teams you mentioned i would put ANZAC and LighT as the two clear strongest with ANZAC slightly ahead perhaps.....also forgive my lack of knowledge but what team do you run and who are the players?? | ||
