Tournaments happen so frequently people dont really bother training anymore even, it just turns it into browser games for people. And even then, Id rather see many different formats over WCG style stuff personally. NL qualifier would be rather boring for example, might aswell skip to umeu vs goodspeed. And Id rather see a tournament with acer and h2o or lordraphael and snowww or somppu and prince or wicked and TLS and hazza than one without them or just those in a qualifier.
So just cuz ro32 was u vs gs and king vs conquerer etc they were just boring rounds not worth the watch? Its clear you dont like it, which is fine, but youre really presenting non-arguments. Nationality may not be conducive to testing pure skill, hence CL is better than the WC but the WC does tend to be more popular with the non diehard fans for obvious reasons. So skill is not the only thing to matter here.
Well youre truly taking a worse case scenario.
Best case would br something like this:
Uk qualies: wicked, hazza, tls, maybe samwise, gwb duke it out for the brit spot.
Dutch qualies: could be you, gs, veni and me.
Usa qualies: uhlan, roiar, maybe ryan, maybe irish etc for usa spot
German qualies: erik, lordraph, optimus, lukas, etc
And we can go on. Those countries winner qualifies directly. While if you sign up for fucking lichtenstein you will have to compete with the other small countries such as vatican city and canada (now i think of it, its indeed only mitoe).
And the winner of these games will square of in a ro16 or ro8 vs each other. So instead of having high lvl games early and none later, if well organised youre only gonna have high level games...
