But do understand that it is highly unprofessional to un-invite team.

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 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 spot despite scheduling issues. Please lay off Benji as he has only tried to help.

The issue with inviting teams/clans is something that Benji has an obvious preference over since like the beginning of time. Just looking at the SEA weeklies you will notice Benji always promoting 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?
