Perhaps this is something that could be considered for future qualifiers. They have 64 slots reserved for "selected" players, who I assume to be pros. And this is the price we pay for free sign ups, but those who don't get in because of whatever issue will likely still complain. | ||

You know, it's so hard to assure serious participants by limiting it to those that actually have a chance to qualify. It's such a miracle that 99.99% of tournaments to ever take place haven't had a price attached to qualifiers. Hopefully some shillers console me, as the price we now have to pay is just so hard to bear. Give me a hug. | ||

But the question is how many pro, semi-pro, and/or fan favorites are going to be barred from entering the WCS Quals because they didn't sign up early enough?

Perhaps this is something that could be considered for future qualifiers. Exactly. And I agree with people who've mentioned that there should at least be a Master's and above cut-off. I'm a Rank 30 Diamond. That means I have near a 50% win-rate against other Diamonds. In an ideal world, I should be allowed to compete, but NOT when there's such a limited number of slots in this Qualifiers (512 only). | ||

That's good if there have already been 64 reserved slots (invites) for the quals, already. I don't recall reading this before, though, so if it was mentioned it may not have been very clear  | ||

WCS NA Qualifier Question: In the event that someone does not make it into the bracket tomorrow for the qualifier if they are outside the "registered first 512" that checkin, is it possible to substitute a player that did not get in for one that did get in? (i.e. manager signed up, gets one of 512 spots, his player did not get in, can they switch spots?) HammerTime has joined the chat. HammerTime: Hello, how can I help you? xSixCHeeSY: Hi, can u see the question above? HammerTime: I can, and the answer is no. Rosters are locked, and we can not switch people out like that. I do apologize. xSixCHeeSY: So basically if they registered later they are out of luck completely? HammerTime: So the way it works is that we have a check in system. So lets say for example we have 555 teams registered. HammerTime: When check in ocurrs, only 505 of the 512 players check in. It means that those 7 players will be removed, and a new seven players will be chosen. HammerTime: The seven that would be chosen would be the first to sign up after the 512 xSixCHeeSY: Right, but what's the problem with the substitution HammerTime: Its league policy. Its in our rules that roster changes will not be allowed. xSixCHeeSY: Well the problem is that WCS as run by blizzard is designed to be an open tournament xSixCHeeSY: ESL in running the european counterpart expanded their 512 person bracket to accomodate for that fact HammerTime: We are not doing so. I do apologize. xSixCHeeSY: OK thanks. | ||

EU gives the chance for over 2,000 people to qualify and NA gets this! I expect a LOT of people who should get a chance won't even manage to get a spot in the bracket. | ||

EDIT: Ah, forgot that people will fall from Code S to Code A. So it'll likely be two matches. | ||

Yeah, can we get an update on this? Is everyone who lost in these qualifiers now done for WCS NA this season? What about all the people who didnt get to play..? | ||

I hope this will be changed. Put up a paywall or make it GM/ above 1500master league points requirement. The top40 of Premier qualifier is non sense, what about the players who faced Koreans and those who didn't ?!?!? | ||
