The last ROG had a totally different production crew / organization involved - Helsinki has already hosted this event four times and Finnish internet is top tier. Overlapping with Sao Paulo shouldn't be too big a deal because of time zone differences :D | ||

I'm not sure if inviting based off of last years WCS points is better or worse, but at least it's fair. This way, ASUS ROG can decide to invite any player they like. It's especially bad since they are sponsoring a player who plays in the WCS (Desrow). I'm very much fine with having invites to tournaments, but then they shouldn't give WCS points imo. edit: To ASUS ROG: How do you decide the invites? Do you have any rules for it? I sound really bitter, but other than WCS part I really love these tournaments and it will be a blast as always! | ||

I wish they'd have more qualifying spots open, but really looking forward to this years format and seeing how it all plays out. | ||

At least the WCS points are only for top 16+, so they can´t invite anyone into points directly and since they will invite some people, who would probably qualify anyway, I think there will not be to much of a problem, although I agree with your general point. | ||

I think the bigger deal is something like what happened with IEM and Revival last year. Tournament invites can make or break players chance of getting to Blizzcon. | ||

The seeds were supposed to be given out by WCS points, so Revival would have gotten one of the original seeds, if IEM would´nt have given a welfare seed to Flash, who had about 1000 points less than revival. So Revivals seed should have been there originally, according to the rules, with Flash having to play the open bracket and Nerchio getting ForGG´s forfeit seed. | ||

But I want the qualifiers casted too, because upsets are exciting. You prefer watching Solar, Hurricane, Hack over Taeja, Jaedong, Polt, Life?? Really?? Maybe, but you might be the only one (or one of very few). But i agree this far that we should have at least 1/2 of the tournament seats through qualifiers. So we have the fan-favorits and local heros on invite-spots and enough room to qualifiy for the talented rest.... | ||

Your first paragraph implies, that Taeja/Jaedong/Polt and Life only be able to be invited and could´nt beat Solar, Hack and Hurricane in those qualifiers or would´nt attend, which seems to be wrong IMHO. Before he was established, Life got into TSL4, MLG Fall Championship, as well as Iron Squid 1&2 due online qualifiers. I think, that he would be perfectly able and willing to play them again, if everyone else does as well. Just by playing qualifiers, popular players will not attend to a less extend, they will just have to earn it. And IMHO, that is a better thing, than inviting them purely because of popularity and taking away spots from more deserving players. | ||
