since Gambit, Flipsid3 and NaVi are in the major, this qualifier becomes just a waste of slots.

new players get experience and chance to prove themselves, with time more teams will rise up for sure

2016-11-10 21:32

Yep, 2 teams will get huge experience at main quals. But, they will be rekt with no doubts at all. So the question is: will they use this experience wisely?

2016-11-10 23:27

Well most of the teams qualified through minors won't get past the MQ, mark my words
