think of it this way,
there is a possibility to win from 0 to 12 maps, which is the main focus of the prioritisation
sure they could have the same (maps won - maps loss), but the team with the most maps won should win. Why? Because they had scores closer to winning than the other team.
If the teams were playing BO1 instead of BO7, it would be a different story because that's directly correlated to win%.

Hope no one hates me for bringing this up but I have seen it a lot in this thread. Some people dislike that its not first come first serve for registration and some do. So I have an idea. could we do somthing like top 15 teams are gaurenteed an position in next years OWC and the rest will be chosen by first come first serve? That way it would be open for "underdogs" to come in and impress?
Just giving an idea for next year.

To do so would be to denigrate the efforts of legitimate players who work hard to improve themselves for these tournaments

Keep in mind that some teams might get disbanded and must be refounded even due to high performance because of this.

Loctav said we will be notified once the registrations are closed (Too lazy to search for the post)

Wouldn't it be way too late to change a member if the roster has been rejected by then?

You get rejected if your team isn't going to be strong competition (ie. out of the top 32 teams). So if you get rejected, you wouldn't be able to play anyway.

Or if you put all multiaccounters and cheaters into your roster.

What if I don't know if my team has someone who won't be accepted? That seems pretty unfair. There's the chance that I register my team and I end up having it rejected just because the 8th player multiaccounted once.

I find it funny that you chose Skype, which was pretty much the main source of players' IP last year. At least I can't think of any other. The players who got DDoS'd during the match against China had their skype names in their userpages.


We're not paranoid, we just feel it's better to be safe than sorry.

Just imagine losing the fruit of hard work being thrown away because of some anti-fans DDoSing your team. We were pretty close to experience something like that, it came down to last seconds when the fourth available player came back.

Loctav, please do confirm that we have indeed registered a roster through the same PM that you have sent to other countries' participants This has been on my mind for the past week, and probably on my teammates' as well.

I would really appreciate it very much if you could put my mind at ease.
