No 100Thieves at the major.
This is such a shitty situation. Regardless of all the drama, the core 3 were still finalists at the last Major and should have had the opportunity to compete at this event. It only adds this whole list of problems, the Tyloo - Peacemaker argument, Device being ill, Liquid and SK playing with stand-ins (even though this is their own fault) and kind of dampens my overall excitement. Can almost see the one hour rant video Thorin is going to make calling this the worst Major ever.
The matches I watched yesterday weren't particularly entertaining either. EnvyUs looked much worse than the score might show, Faze, NaVi and G2 looked a bit shaky at times. Hopefully there's better games ahead.

Two majors a year is definitely not enough.
If only the qualifiers were more tightly packed, and that we'd get back to three majors a year.
I think two is just the right amount. I can't think of any reasons to make it more than that. It would be very hard on the teams to keep up with such a schedule, it would add to the oversaturation that we're already seeing right now, it would make it hard to transfer and integrate a new player in the team between events, it would make it harder logistically on the organizers too and, in a way, it would lessen the importance and the prestige.
