I also remember a post-season tournament last year where each team was given two player slots, any chance of that coming back? edit:spelling | ||

Obviously CSL wants the most well-known players competing for bigger viewership but it just seems kind of illegitimate to have an all star tournament with such a limited player pool.

CSL resources are taxed: running the playoffs, maintaining the website, and planning for the finals is literally full time+++++ work for the few administrators we have. Unfortunately, we are very understaffed and we can't add on more work and realistically expect it to be done well. If we can't run a qualifier tournament fairly and smoothly, it's better to not do it. In the future, as we grow and we have a stronger and larger administrative base - we of course want to look into hosting qualifiers for these types of events since qualifiers are the most objective way to go. - Why not have a player from each of the final 2 teams participate? This is a good idea and is something we'll consider (we do have a month to decide). So stay tuned for that... I hope this answers people's questions sufficiently! Please be happy that we are working hard and putting our own money into trying to help our community grow and flourish. | ||

Having sponsored professional players play in a CSL tournament will bring CSL more publicity than if some unknowns play in it. This decision could be justified because more publicity for CSL will be good for everyone in the CSL. More publicity could lead to greating funding from sponsors in the future. | ||

I'm sure flying in Sheth, violet, select, scarlett, catz, axslav, and any other players living in NA right now (to fit the budget I guess) with big fan-base.. It would be better use of money if the goal is to get more publicity for CSL. because...they aren't in college? >___>; | ||
