fuk u. I'll just give Fantasy and Hyun half as much screen time as the other players since they're only half qualified and don't have much of a shot anyway | ||

Lilbow shouldn't be taken into account. He did well in the WCS tournaments, he deserves his spot, period. However I agree that tournaments like Copenhagen Games or MSI should give less points. There should be a bigger gap between this kind of tournaments and DH/IEM. | ||

My personal take is to make WCS/GSL/SSL more points, which essentially does the same thing. The fact that this 500 point gain is the most Hyun has gotten from any result all year is how broken the system is. You have players like Dear/Dark who qualified for all 6 starleagues of the year or players like Bunny who do amazingly well in 2 of the 3 seasons. Hell Mana is the only finalist of the 9 WCS tournaments (6 starleagues and 3 WCS) that isn't at Blizzcon. Yet Fantasy and Hyun are playing for a spot instead of any of them. | ||

I wanted Dark to take the last spot over anyone else because he stayed in Korea and did excellent in Kespa cups, but you're being really unfair to Hyun. Hyun actually knocked Dark out of SSL in the RO8 of S2, and this tournament he performed really well even taking out Rain, whereas Dark choked vs Leenock. Dear also hasn't done super amazing this year but narrowly lost his spot to a 3-4. | ||

Its not like one of the potential 16th place players gets the same match up again versus herO. Rain is much better than Hyun, skill-wise & result-wise, still lost to him... | ||

The system currently is healthy for the scene. Good players are encouraged to travel, so that tournaments like IEM, DH are stacked as hell. Otherwise expected money sometimes does not worth the travel cost. Besides, we still have like 10 absolute best players (except Polt, Hydra, Lilbow, Hyun/Fanta) at Blizzcon, so the chance of having the real champion is still high. Like the WC, it reserves lower spots for weak regions, and that's perfectly fine. | ||
