Yay, I'm hyped. Still not keen on you guys using the same format though (same complaints as for previous editions - too much focus on star players instead of team effort with this 3 player all kill thing, kind of destroys the buzz for me... and yeah, still salty about us losing to Serral).
If most countries were deep enough to make it a fun competition I'd agree with you

Great tournament from O'Gaming. Just hope the fans actually take the voting seriously.

Not much of a Nation War if half the teams are 1 player and 3 bench warmers

I wish we could down vote people so I could down vote avilo this time.

Can't wait for more controversy about people getting voted in. That aside excited for another Nation Wars.

I hope they take into consideration all the feedback from the previous tournament.
-Change the player selection, popular vote doesn't always produce the most competitive matches, incorporate qualifiers in some form.
-Format, all kill just emphasizes star players, have 2v2s/archon, give the teams more strategic power (proleague) format.

Agreed for the format but asking for qualifier seems nothing more than entilted spectators who don't realize how it is hard to organize qualifiers per country.

I know. I mean if they want to make it a crowdfunding goal, I'll put my money in.

Not much of a Nation War if more than half the teams go out 1-4 because they only have one legit good player

Will Serral play as a separate country or as a part of Finland?

Except that this is not what is happening. Nations like Italy and Finland make it super deep in the tournament despite having only a single top tier player.
Italy made it to the playoffs with their only wins coming from Raynor, none of their other players won a single map.
Finland made it to the semifinals with only 1 map win coming from a player other than Serral.
And the same can be said for dozens of other instances where a nation advanced to the playoffs on the back of a single player.
Let's be real here: It's going to be Team Serral instead of Team Finland, it's going to be Team Raynor instead of Team Italy, and so forth. Not much of a Nation Wars if you ask me.
All-Kill format will be a hard nope for me, which is unfortunate. It's not a good format to determine which is the better team. All it does is determine which team has the better star player.

Public voting has always been a source of much fun and drama in the past, whether it was the joke-voting* for Avilo in NW5 or Kelazhur leveraging non-SC2 influencers in Brazil for GSL vs. The World. I'm curious to see how it plays out this time around...
*Apologies to serious Avilo fans
