These lists are always evolving basically until we start the tournament, one of the reasons for posting this is that it reminds people to tell us they decided not to go but haven't given an email regarding dropping out. This particular event is a bit strange because it was close to WCS Jönköping which means On July 02 2017 06:36 MperorM1 wrote: I think it's a very reasonable system. It shouldn't be that hard to sign up long in advance. Also first served means blizzard can send acceptance letters right when you apply, which makes it much easier to book flight tickets and hotels in long advance. Honestly if you are a professional player who makes a living off tournaments like this and you didn't sign up until 2 weeks before the event, I feel like it's your own fault. While this is an open tournament and in that way we treat sign ups as a first come, first serve item, the final way we handle registrations is a lot closer to the system you suggested AshC. When we send out the first series of confirmation emails that let people know they are either on the list or current on our wait list, there are a few slots at this stage kept "free" for people with high finishes in previous events to bypass the waitlist if they forgot to sign up or changed their plans regarding registration etc, we also reach out to teams and players at this stage if we see notable players who normally attend missing to make sure there was no mistake and that sort of thing. So far I'd say it's been a pretty successful system and outside of this one case of weirdness has been able to do what we need it to do with relative ease. | ||

Boooooooooooooooring Neeb came in fifth at NA Challenger and Kelazhur came in third at Latin Challenger so I guess it makes sense they gave the slots to those two. However, I wish they would give it to Bails instead of Neeb given they both came fifth at NA. I would like to see Bails to compete at Valencia. | ||

Anyways are there 2 more players in the first group stage then? | ||
