Players who make it one round further in a single tournament have a far greater chance of qualifying, whereas players who show consistency in multiple tournaments, which I believe to be more difficult, still have little chance to catch up. It's obviously too late to change anything, but I really hope that players with multiple high finishes will be able to qualify along with those who made it near the top once. I don't quite follow this, since the points system is designed to reward consistency over one off performances. For instance, placing 2nd once will net you less points than two semifinal finishes. | ||

At the end the top 8 breakdown will be a minimum of 100 points in each spot: 1. 114+ (Ciara currently) 2. 100+ (ESC.GoOdy currently) 3. 100+ (FnaticMSI.Fenix currently) 4. 100+ 5. 100+ 6. 100+ 7. 100+ 8. 100+ ..due to the 2nd place finishes. The current or future ro4 (+51), ro8 (+26), and ro16 (+14) finishers will have to overcome this 100+ point barrier in the next 5 opens; in addition, a 2nd place finisher could take another round, as Ciara did. It's doable, just difficult, especially in a tournament of this size. If I am making a mistake here I apologize. We'll see how it goes, top players will probably rack up the points easily--it's just tight with 5 more opens. | ||

On the other note, someone who gets 9-16th 7 out of 8 events loses out to a one time runner-up. This isn't exactly what I'd call rewarding consistency, but do we as fans want someone in the TSL who can't get past the ro16 of an open event? I don't mind the point system. | ||

The system is working exactly as we intended it; multiple high finishes are what will determine who makes it through with the lower rounds providing somewhat of a tie-breaker effect.At the end the top 8 breakdown will be a minimum of 100 points in each spot: 1. 114+ (Ciara currently) 2. 100+ (ESC.GoOdy currently) 3. 100+ (FnaticMSI.Fenix currently) 4. 100+ 5. 100+ 6. 100+ 7. 100+ 8. 100+ ..due to the 2nd place finishes.
