N2K was 3rd @ local qualifier and got invited because one team canceled. Denmark now has 3 slots.
ID was 3rd @ local qualifier and got invited because one team canceled. Germany now has 3 slots.
So now, give me a damn argument why it is a bad idea to invite ID? You want 4 slots for sweden? Wanna talk about fairness...?
Dear admin, please don't delete posts that hurt the honour of SK ;D
In my opinion it was the ESWC.swe Staff who made the mistake as begrip, sk and fnatic were put into one group. SK surely deserves it to play on the biggest 1.6 event this year but don t blame us blame the eswc.swe qualifier staff that they can t go there! :)
cheers !
Grats to ID Gaming for the spot! It is according to ESWC rules.
And last but not least, and I think most are with me here, ESWC would have been even more interesting if SK also got a spot.
i felt it
it wouldnt only be interesting but obvious too. its only strange if SK didnt really get an invite.
but there are three better teams from Sweden (as the qualfier results say)
anyway SK.swe is better as ID
but rules are rated higher as all other things
:-)
ESWC chose regarding past years classement : top nations were denmark, brazil, sweden, south korea (dunno why but ...), germany, France.
they allready invited 1 danish and 1 swedish team, south korea was impossible (ofc) and then germany. ID finished third, they could come (even if it's a mix which had no chance to pass the group). If they couldn't it would have been the 3rd of France.
SK had NO chance to go at all : even if ESWC had chose to pick a swedish team, it would have been evilzone cuz they were 4th
I thought Logitech.fi would've been a much wiser choice, regardless of whatever nation rankings say.
gl IDGaming :)
