Will see how this IEM turns out. Not a fan of country/region quota thing. | ||

EU is heavily over-represented compared to normal competition. 5 EU + Stephano. The country manip is real (admittedly, it does give the S Europe and African qualifiers better players). Only 2 NA players get to be part of the top 16, so the others don't get diluted as a result. But anyways, I think maybe only two qualifiers for EU would have been better with two spots each (find the 5th somehow), but that is the drawback of getting more qualifiers than any other region. I personally think the only region that will end up being heavily over-represented is South America, but it's also pretty harsh to just go all of that continent gets one person. All of china gets exactly one spot... you know, the biggest esports country in the world. Top 20 WSC last year 5 NA, 9 EU, 1 SA, 1 Oceania, 2/3 China, and True. | ||

Like i said only one top EU will be in korea. No offense to the others but 4 of our 5 best are in that central qualifier. | ||

No offense to the others but 4 of our 5 best are in that central qualifier. Serral, Snute both are arguably in that top 5, both in Northern, with Serral advancing. I'll admit that the Southern Qualifiers were particularly anemic, and the eastern was basically only Bly for any one of note. But the Western didn't look too bad either. Denver has been carving up online, even against top competition, and DNS has really been looking on point as well (not to mention ptitdrogo). When it comes down to it... only 2 NA players will get to participate in the Ro16, which at best gives 2 of the top 5 there as well. I'd rather have the top 4 from N+SA, but it is what it is. | ||
