I'm giving my 2 cents *keeeetcheeeng*
Scrap all this lucky draw or first come first serve BS. Since there are 32 slots, give 16 slots to the best top 16 gamers/teams based on performance in all gaming competition organised by the organiser.
I've stumbled upon a reality show before about a situation similar like this. What the organiser for that event did was having speed rounds to see who can qualify for the slots. Players are required to play their own game with very short time limits to qualify.
Probably that would solve the remaining 16 slots.
If this goes on, we might not have the best player representing our country for AWCG.
OR worse we might see a thread called "<WTAuction> Slot for AWCG" on the day itself.
I think this is the best solution so far. Having a Lucky Draw to pick participants doesn't sounds right for a QUALIFIER. It looks like the most luckiest people get to represent Msia for AWCG. If it were to be the luckiest player to play against Jali, might as well cancel the qualifier and straight away send Jali there. If for me to vote between 'first come first serve' or lucky draw BS, i will go for 'first come first serve'. At least the players will fight for their spot rather than just waiting to be lucily participated.
While for twenty06's idea, it is quite fair because those top players get to participate and the others can participate as well. What i can suggest here is to place the top16 of last year's WCG first into the qualifier. Then cancel those names if they didn't register on friday and open the slot to public.
Anyway, this is just my suggestion. I have no intention in criticizing the method of doing qualifier. I just want the best for the gamers around.
Thank You !
