So yeah, it does seem like a lot of popularity is needed since that is the entire point of a "vote" system. Obviously high profile players are going to have tons of votes, but it makes it very much a popularity contest. With that said, VOTE FOR ME I WANT TO GET IN THIS LEAGUE AND OWN IT UP. 17th place MLG Raliegh, 12th MLG DC, top 200 on planet earth! Gotta list everything now to get in! | ||

That aside, the more popular the players playing, the more viewers, the more exposure, the more sponsorship, the more everything good for esports. Plus, there's spots for qualifiers anyway. I'm with this guy. You can win a qualifier by 4 gating half your games and cannon rushing another quarter. (cruncher) I would much rather see people who we know are going to deliver good games and who have earned the spot over six months rather than one weekend. edit: On February 22 2011 09:53 avilo wrote: Really disappointed that you have to get "votes" to be able to get higher chances to get in this league.

With that said, VOTE FOR ME I WANT TO GET IN THIS LEAGUE AND OWN IT UP. on top of that, qualifying is nigh impossible even for the best... only 1 spot... also being on a team seems kind of dumb to get in the league. It forces players who are waiting for better deals to settle for something they aren't looking for just to play. Doesn't offer any opportunities for upstart players. a 1000 man open tourney is not a chance at all. Bomber couldn't even qualify for the GSL and yet hes probably more capable then 98% of the GSL players and he had a better chance to qualify then he would have with this setup. They really really need to fix qualification process. | ||

The important thing, in my opinion, is how it leads into season two. There needs to be a reasonable promotion/relegation kind of system to enable up-and-coming players their chance to shine. If it's capped at one new guy (or, if it's done like GSL, potentially zero new guys) per season then it stifles competition. I guess there's nothing official on that yet though, so fingers crossed... | ||

A voting system is nice in theory, but seems to strongly favor players already well known. This is especially true for top players that stream. | ||

Avilo, I respect you as a player, but don't you think if you win a decent size tournament or rank high you will gain popularity and wont go unoticed? All popular players that are popular are good; with the exceptions of the ones with whacky personalities, or CombatEX. Not popular players need to work to be popular. Whether it's winning a big tournament, or streaming for TL etc. | ||

I don't want to watch a bunch of people who just managed to cheese their way into a spot. You gotta work hard for this tournament, the way it should be. TLO is 4th. He's far from 4th in the world in actual skill, but he's so creative that he's popular. CatZ also is way higher than where he should be, as is Kiwikaki, QXC, Destiny, Demuslim, Dimaga... Overall, if they choose the players via voting it's going to be really unfair. TLO for instance isn't even in the top 16 imo but is creative, whereas there are players like Morrow that are less popular but who I'd still pick over many of those players any day of the week. That being said, still excited about this tournament. I still don't think that players should be chosen with voting, and that qualifiers should be ran. Everyone needs a chance, even if they aren't currently well-known. | ||

Players actually have to get people to vote for them. Gamers aren't politicians, they're competitors. | ||
