This is not an honor. It's an opportunity. Being accepted into [20A] or even [20B] is an honor. This is to find which players actually belong in [20A] and give them an oppurtunity to prove themselves.
Piggy, Green Beret and Yeon are the only two that have caught my eye that have never played 1v1 ladder (at least in past year or two). I have not had too much oppurtunity to see new talent since my return to warlight about half a month ago. I am constantly on the lookout though.
Lolowut, Krzychu can make no case he belongs in [20A]. Look at the ladder, his last 12 games or so. He is 4-8, most of his games are not even agaisnst great players. He's a good player, but we have a pretty good idea of how good he actually is and he's not a great player.
Green Beret is 2-0 agaisnt Longhouse in recent tournaments, 1-0 against abr, 0-1 against Gambler, 1-0 against Krzychu, 0-2 agaisnt Frankdeslimste, 0-1 agaisnt Tenshi. He is 3-2 in a tournament where 7 guys have played fast and have games done. He is above Gambler who is 3-3, he has the tiebreaker on Longhouse who is 4-2, abr is 2-3, Krzychu is 2-4. So compared to the two potential [20A] qualifiers, he is doing better than them, and is showing he can actively compete against [20A] plaeyrs.
And yeah, Gui's a given if he wants in.
Why are you convinced Krzychu is better than Green Beret? You have no evidence to back it up at all that I see.
Brain, Gambler, Krzychu are all shoe-ins for [20B] I think, and if you win [20B], you are automatically put into [A] for next season, and if you finish well, you can be added into the qualification process.
Qualification is not saying these players are better than anybody not qualified. It is saying that they deserve to be given a shot for a success they had in something. I also think it is likely only 13-14 of the orignial players that I asked about this are intersted. A few will be too busy, and grona and zibik might not even be interested. Krzychu and Gambler are two of my next options.
Just found this tournament:
http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer?TournamentID=6310Kryzchu and Warlightmaster both are active that tournament and get booted none. WarlightMaster is 12-7, Kryzchu is 10-8. Why are you convinced Kryzchu is better than him?
