If it was WORLD then there would have been a qualifier in Belgium or for benelux. Discrimination tbh
And please dont flame Belgium with "fu***** CS level". If you think this event would be based on the "best countries only" then why do some countries that dont have a high ranking on world scale have a qualifier?
And yes #39 your right. :)
