WCG-style tournament

Post by deleted_user0 »

Esocs next tournament should be a WCG style tournament where every country gets to send 1 representative. If multiple candidates from a country sign up they play a qualifier. Nations with many top players qualify directly, whereas the smaller ones may have to play a qualifier vs e each other.

Big nations with many similar level players that come to mind are: usa, canada, uk, NL, germany, france, brazil, japan (if enough interest from them) and china.

Whos down?

Neither br or china has an absolute top player but they have quite a few major/lt col level players and they often are one of the most represented countries in ro128 and ro64. Thats why i listed them. Bsop is romanian, but no other romanian players are really known, hence romania is not a big nation tho it may potentially supply the champion.

I like how you only wrote NL with capitals Umeu :D

Idea is nice, but it does leave out a lot of good players because of the 1 per country restriction. Romania gets to send Roby, but Germany cant send both Raphael and Erik?
Perhaps for the top countries 2 representatives? Although that kinda changes your setup, hmm

I guess that would kind of be the the point though, that countries with more good players are handicapped by only being able to send one player.

Ye thought about that, its possible to do some sort of CL system, where bigger countries get more clubs. At the same time, it doesnt have to be a huge tournament, maybe a 500€ one, and erik vs raph would still play in the qualifications, so potentially you will see more high level players duke it out

Thats how it works with some olympic sports as well, its not unheard of.

You can also look at it differently, its not CL but its the WC. Only limited amount of players can go, so you will send only the absolute best. Messi will go, but maybe at the expense of some other players who would still be better than players from a smaller football country.

And as i said, it could potentially have great games in the national qualifiers.

Nevertheless, it's still like 25 players going to the tournament. Here it's suggested that only one from each country will advance.

Yes, but the point remains, the 26th player of argentina or germany can not go, but he might still be better than the 10+ players of iceland that will go. Just because his country has more good players. So that unfair part remains here. Sure now the team sent is one man instead of 25, at same time the pool of candidates is at most maybe 7-8 instead of 50

I think it's dumb. Qualification for a tourney shouldn't be based on nationality you nationalist pigs

Unless its a world cup you fool...

Btw world cup for clubs also works like this @pecelot. Europe sends only one team though they could probably supply all the teams if you look just at quality

Anyway, i have problem with a CL style system, just needs to be well thought out.
