Fixed that for you  On a separate note I'd love to see the merc rule removed this time around. I don't honestly think that mercs have any place in team leagues, especially all-kill which are so susceptible to star-player stompings. It doesn't reward having a deep wellrounded roster, it rewards picking up the strongest ringer you can find. Imho, you either do a full partnership with another team or you play alone, you don't just cherry-pick a really strong player. We saw what happened to WW when they couldn't bring San, they got wrecked in the finals. I agree and we purposely never picked up a merc despite often being short on players last season. So you deny hiring Pirate- and Mustacheterran? Both of those guys are on the payroll.
Hahaha :-)

No point in a tournament if Team Liquid is there. Just hand them prize money. Only time a TL player loses is during team kills.

Liquid has been to the playoffs twice, and they've been all killed 3 times.
Acer is clearly the team to beat, not Liquid.

I hope Empire cancels (due to lack of players) and is replaced by mYi, then EG and ROOT qualify.

Well EG has even less active players than Empire.

Doesnt Empire have 2 players? Kas and Happy. They were partnered with Ence last season giving them elfi, Jagelius, and Serral and then they used BratOK as their joker.

I bet that if a team cancels, one more spot would be open for the qualifiers.

If Breaker casts this in English, TaKe is pretty dumb..

I really hope the map pool updates as the tournament progresses. The last two times we were left with maps that weren't used in ladder or tournaments, those games were extremely boring and rudimentary.

I really think it should be a tiebreaker match if equal map diff (for smth important like playoff participation) -_-

Exactly. Or mb even score > H2H > tiebreaker match (it's a team league, so win's-a-win, no matter what the map diff)

Exactly, which would give them one more than EG.

I know Jaedong just lost in the Ro32 but he's still active. They can't all be Ro16ers like HuK

Huk's still alive? I just assumed EG was JD + the staunch cadre of stay at home streaming heroes by now.

I really like Empire, but see no point in inviting them and Invictus again. After their very poor performance last season (2-7 and 1-6 scores respectively) these two teams obviously need to go through qualifiers as the rest. And it would allow to have 4 qualifier spots instead of just two. We would then have the opportunity to see teams like EG, MYI, Root, Vega or Fnatic.
