So something like US 4 spots, Canada 3 spots, Mexico and Central America 3 spots, South America 2 spots, open qualifiers 4 spots. Maybe there could even be smaller local qualifiers into each of the regional qualifiers. This would keep the regions "regional" but still allow people from other areas of the world to qualify in the region of their choice. | ||

I kinda want to do the math of the minimum and maximum number of games that can be played by someone in these. If there are 512 in the draw, you have to win 7 matches to make it to the winner's bracket semifinals and be guaranteed a top 8 finish. If you lose first round, you have to win 12 backdraw matches to make it to the loser's bracket semifinals and get a 5-8 spot. So minimum number of matches is 7, maximum number of matches is 13. | ||

They are all best of three, so you would need to win two games to advance each time. So the minimum is 14 games? I guess that not to terrible. | ||

Thanks for catching that. I meant matches, not games. Changed my post to reflect that. So yeah, the minimum is 14 games won. The maximum would be 25 games won (12 x 2 = 24 backdraw wins, plus losing your first match in the first round 2-1). The maximum number of games total would be 39 (losing first round 2-1 and winning all the backdraw matches 2-1). | ||

Keep in mind you have to wait for the other BO3 to finish and in worse case scenarios all your opponents would play 3 long macro games ^^ | ||

As someone posted before. EU is quad elimination bracket (if you manage to secure spot during check in in all 4 qualifiers). If you lose 4 times you are out of this season of qualifiers | ||

Does anyone know if WCS season 1 will be available on Android devices? I'm using android micropcs with HDMI out to run Twitch on my TVs at home, but the last MLG was blocked on Android (which I hated, Sundance). Hopefully this will be available on Android, I can't wait to watch. | ||

You have to create a team to sign up - a team means nothing, it is basically a username for this specific tournament...so doesn't matter if you are or aren't on a team or really w.e you put. If you have problem check the rules page for information (posted in OP) | ||

I hope you registered early! because that is the order for which people will be getting in (after reserve spots) Geee, I wonder why they wanted that $20 fee. That is so many people, I hope the players who are the most serious signed up early. | ||
