A player like me is not currently on a team, yet capable and has beaten literally tons of the players on the list. 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! I bet I could beat you in a popularity contest avilo!! LOL | ||

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 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. I would rather watch creative, interesting, and exciting play rather than see piqliq cannon rush his way to the top of the ladder. Or than see Morrow do the exact same build every single game. Being a boring but solid player is just that - boring but solid. They can go win open tournaments but they don't make for exciting TV. | ||

Well-liked players should not take precedence to good players. This also means people who can win the qualification tournament should carry more weight than those who just get a free pass in for their name. | ||

although obviously, on average, the most competitive players will get in but seriously this is like american idol. i can imagine some undeserving players slipping in and some seriously legit but less popular players getting snubbed | ||

Morrow a boring player? He's pretty much been re-inventing Zerg these past months. Also, "creative interesting and exciting play" often happens to be cannon-rushing and cheese. I'm not sure why a TLO cannon rush and Piqliq cannon rush are any different. If you want to see exciting play instead of people playing to win, you can watch funday monday. | ||
