So the arguments for lower skill players on the streamchat seem to be:
1) It's good for the scene to have new players coming to tournaments
2) The first round is called the OPEN bracket, therefore it should be open for less skilled players
My point of view here is that, yes, we should have new players appearing in tournaments, but ostensibly Premier tournaments should be reserved for line-ups of premier players, with a sample of potentially promising unknowns in the first stages. Not 10 famous players and 90% players without even a liquipedia page, some of whom play to at most a diamond league standard.
Sure, there should be some unknowns being introduced to the tournament scene, if their skill merits it. Up-and-coming players are always a welcome sight. But low level players being added as filler, or a complete lottery of who is allowed to enter, occurring due to disinterest in the tournament from major players is a serious red flag about this being a premier tournament.

Well the level of play yet at this tournament is a catastrophe 
Still enjoying listening to Axeltoss and Bomber, could do that all day
Edit:
The level on Day9-stream is like platinum or similar from the Terran player, I am so confused :D

Cobravenom has 2500 minerals and 1500 gas on 2 bases vs a platinum zerg. Someone clearly boosted his account to master.

diamond? that was lucky to be silver level playing Easy now. He might be a member of Cobra Kai game 1 10pylon.... then second pylon before cyber?!?!? game 2 he scouts nexus first and proceeds to go cyber before gas... and then ties to 4 gate into expand?!? I know silver players who would own that guy Tournament nerves are something special let me tell you.
True... But 4 gate into expo? Even if you're shaking all over that's a weird decision to make.

I want to vote 5 stars on this game. Definately one of the best games this year (entertainment-wise).
