I thought TA was already given a spot (qualified), sorta like invitational, along with the other 3 teams.
And i also thought i read a post before where TA played in the qualifer 1. Have i missed something in the rules? Sorry for my noobish questions.
Just a general comment, and this is not directed at TA or any other large clan (so pleaseeeee don't take it the wrong way), if we let a clan compete more than once doesn't that defeat the purpose of a clan war?! I understand there are large clans out there (hell i think Ngen is also quite large), but what if, hypothetically speaking, TA was the only team in the finals, because they have two teams competing, that to me just seems wrong (or is it just me?).
The reason for my comment is large clan’s usually have inter clan tournaments or seeding, to figure out which team members gets to play. I know this was part of our clan (we have like 15 members and we had to be selective). This firstly motivates players to do well and also ensures that this isn’t a free for all competition, and is really a team battle.
I highly doubt GSTL would let any of their teams get double dips and increase the chance of winning. It is contrary to the whole purpose of the competition.
In saying so, in respective of qualifiers, I don’t object to a team getting two goes, provided there is a free space, because until they qualify the team really is not in the competition (if that makes sense).
