Most of aLt and TA are already in a lot of teams anyway, same for infi (revs in Flash, Targa in mF, RA in mith, jaz in xG, just leaves ice, jokes roz and a few others that escape my mind). It does suck that Nv weren't around when the list of teams was originally set up, same for Carnage, fortunately an open bracket is set up for this.
I'm sorry, but I don't properly see the issue here. We can only have so many teams in one league : S
EDIT- and to TargA, OH IT'S ON ROZ
DOUBLE EDIT- Fine fixed it Cam you bastard.

Sure Nv wasn't around when the teams were announced, but once they were announced why couldn't they be given an invite?

I can tell you the teams that were invited knew about this back then... unless you think there shouldn't be a qualifier spot, or you think that Benji should go ahead and rescind an existing invitation to throw it at NV, I don't see what your point is...

The plan for XGTL was for the 8 original teams to begin with (schedules were made already), at that point in time Nv and cR, and the other new "teams" were not announced yet. Some will point to the skill differential between the newer formed teams and original invited teams and complain of a discrepancy there. But please understand that it is highly unprofessional to un-invite teams.
To accommodate for the newer formed teams, Benji created another team slot that can be obtained through the Open bracket, as to give the newer formed teams a chance at a spot, and to not create drama if he just automatically invited a team. This brings the league up to 9 teams, with 1 team getting a bye each week. It is highly unfeasible to go up to 10 teams in the scheduling system - which I am not too familiar with but I'm sure someone more informed could enlighten us on this one.
It is unfortunate that there are so many strong teams out there without a spot and there is only one spot left. We sympathized with this and thus the creation of an open bracket to determine one extra spot despite scheduling issues. Please lay off Benji as he has only tried to help. (This is not directed at you BiG Gun but people in general if they are calling Benji out on biasness)
The issue with inviting teams/clans is something that Benji has an obvious preference over since like the dawn of time. Just looking at the SEA weeklies you will notice Benji has always promoted teams with sponsors in general. Whether you agree with this is up for discussion - but do understand that promoting sponsors does nothing but push forward E-Sports in SEA.
Lay off Benji, practice hard for the league, myself, Tim and beard will see you in combat.

How am I criticising benji? I’m just wondering why Nv couldn’t have been given an invite and then 1 slot becomes available to open bracket qualifiers. Five games per week would be better than 4 games with a bye?

because then people question why Nv was chosen and not Carnage, or SPR.PG, or another team
(5 games would be sweet though, 2 open slots? Might be a time issue though, benji only has so much time in a day, and he has to have some time for himself...)
