I'm pretty sure it was the same for most events last season.

Yeah, pretty much the same. We actually adapted our European and Asian qualifiers to pHARSIDE's system as it is both open for everyone at first but also makes sure that being successfull in past IEM events gives you a head start.

The first qualifier has too few spots to make it to stage 2. You guys are starting to look like MLG 2011 format.


You say this every time, yet you have no hardcore data on ur side.How is 8 people out of the 20 people that play too few spots? You realize most people have to win only 2 matches to qualify. PLEASE spare me this non-sense talk you continue to make about our qualifiers when the data numbers discredit you over and over again.. You might have a convincing argument when our stage 1 sign ups are 64+ people.. Until then 8 people is plenty, or would you rather 16 out of 20 people qualify? Why stop there, lets make it 32 out of 20 people qualify...

You're ridiculous. You aren't even making an argument, you are just saying what you want without any basis at all.
