I would ask for 1 change if possible, allow people to register for multiple qualifiers, I was a little disheartened when I found out we could only sign up for 1 qualifier for DMO7.

Alot of factors can play in qualifying, being hang over from the night before, people in the house annoying you, being sick etc... letting people play in every qualifier would also allow good players that may get knocked out in 1 qualifier to have a chance to get into the next one.

With that kind of prize pool, everyone will play in every qualifier and you'll have stupidly large brackets. The idea of the qualifiers is to break down the brackets into small chunks so the finals isnt a 7 hour tourney.

And if you sign up to the qualifier, perhaps don't get drunk the night before, warn your housemates to give you some space and sickness is simply unavoidable. What if you got sick on the finals? Should we postpone it so every player is 100%?

Psi Storm had stupidely large brackets but it turned out to be alright, not every game was casted (doing EVERY game would be ridiculous).

It seems you somehow percieved that I was talking about a player getting sick in the finals so let me re-clarify, a person can be sick DURING one of the qualifiers, yes the fact that he/she is sick may affect his/her play but at least he/she knows that there is another chance to get INTO the 24 spots available with the next qualifier, if he/she gets sick during finals then it would be stupid to give 1 player distinct favoritism and postpone the finals.

Also from your quote

The idea of the qualifiers is to break down the brackets into small chunks so the finals isnt a 7 hour tourney.

You can rectify that by allowing 128 players per qualiifers? Bo1 untill RO8 maybe?

you couldnt play in every psi storm qualifier, each 'qualifying day' had 4 different qualifiers, of which you could play in 1, and there were 4 seperate 'qualifying days'.

Now whilst that system was seriously ******* amazingly awesome. This is not cybergamer and dogsi doesnt have a team of admins willing to work 5 weekends in a row 8 hour days just to make the qualifying process a bit more pristine.

you get what you're given with e-sports tournaments, and in this case, we've been given a whole lot considering theres not really a 'team' or website behind this, its just one dude putting forth a fuckton of cash and spare time to watch the best of SEA battle it out, which i can guarantee you this kind of money will bring exactly that.


edit:

as for the maps : XNC, Metal, Shattered Temple, GSL Crossfire and GSL Tal'Darim

Got 2 who agree with those maps. Any other comments?

What about the map pool? Just 5 maps, is that a large enough map pool?
