The point system is really really good! I think it's the most fair system you guys could imagine. I'm intrested in how many points at the end you need to qualify.

So neat that the TSL is bringing all these closet gosus out of the woodwork. Wish we expanded the player pool, actually.

It would be cool if there were 1-2 more rounds of qualifiers where the top 16 or 24 players in the point pool could play Bo3s to get to the final round. But that might be unnecessary.

Should be a qualifier round instead of that 8 highest. Say that top 16 have a qualification round first
1 vs 16, 2 vs 15 and so on. To make one more round.

I am very worried about the point system implemented, only because of the relatively wide difference between points for each placement. 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.

The same person can place 2nd more than once though, or someone can get 2nd and then win. Both of these are pretty unlikely though.

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.

You are right, things are getting tight. Which is why every TLOpen matters! 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.
