Do not lie, we see through your dirty Esports hat-money laundering scheme. I insist you have Catz drawn and quartered or I'm calling the pope.

Do you acknowledge the issue of holding multiple NA only tournaments with 100% of allowed players pulled from invites and popular vote? Is there a reason you've chosen not to allow anyone to qualify(for even one or two spots)?

How is a $20,000 tournament not news worthy?
Should be lots of fun to watch, can't wait.

if we keep inviting 75% of the players this will help the NA scene... :/

hope it's successful To be fair it does include MOST of the best players in NA. Major, State, Vibe, Scarlett, Desrow (just made premier), Masa (just made premier) so it's not like they only grabbed popular players.
Point is to grow the scene you need to give the opportunity to everyone, not just the ones who are famous. Sure, the tournament needs to make sure it's successful and gets viewers. However it makes me sad to see CatZ spearheading this thing when he has been one of the more vocal people about creating opportunities for NA players, in order to grow the scene. All this does is create opportunity for the ones who were already well off in comparison to everyone else in NA.

This seems like a re-do of the NA-only tournament that just happened. I'd prefer to see 8 invited and 8 qualify. Why players like Nony, who bombed out of the MLG tournament in spectacular fashion, and Incontrol keep getting these invites is beyond me.

100% invite, but 25% are invited by different people. We're a democracy after all. Why turn it into a competitive sport when you can vote. Can I see the poll on who we want to win? I vote for minigun to win. Should play the tournament out through votes, too.

The information is correct, since it's 5,000$ for the MLG round.

This. Seriously wtf? It's better for the competition if there is a qualifier anyways, that way the people who are there deserve to be there, and not just get an invite off name value alone. NA is probably the worst at doing this, as almost every tournament is invite, and "fan vote" is probably the most retarded way to invite players to a tournament.

I agree with everything said here.

It's weird that the Twitch round which starts in 2 days hasn't announced it's players while the MLG, stating in 8 days, already has.

Its a tournament promoting a movie. By inviting popular people and letting us vote for the other 4 it brings popular people together that we want to watch. Maybe not everyone but many of these players have viewer bases and they bring them along to the tournament. Remember, the tourney is promoting a movie, so it only makes sense that they want as many eyes as possible.

Yeah it's ok news, but not really. People wonder why NA scene has a hard time....it's the lack of open brackets and companies only want already famous and established players so they invite the same 16 that already have success with out giving all the fresh new blood we been seeing in WCS America a chance.

You could argue every tournament is promoting something and want as many eyes on it as possible. That doesn't make it right to invite personalities over the best players.

Awesome, love catz/destiny casting. Gonna be rooting for incontrol and nony! <3

The problem is you need to grow the scene but you also need people to watch the scene you have while doing it. Having young blood is all well and good but no one is going to watch a bunch of names they don't know so you bring in some well known names to join with qualified fresh blood and you get to see some good games that people watch and hopefully give new blood some exposure and fan base in process.

They would not receive any less viewers if they opened up just one or two spots to be qualified for. In fact, most in this thread are asking for exactly that.
