EE on the Supermajor: "A big 'fuck you' to competitive integrity."
posted by Brasozial,
The invites are announced and us Peter 'ppd' Dager already explained his opinion about it. Now ca Jacky 'EternaLEnVy' Mao joined him and shows the disadvantage for SEA.

The opinion of EE is clear - he disapproves of the idea of inviting ua Natus Vincere and eu OG. What's interesting at this point is that Na'Vi are just 249 points ahead of Fnatic in the rankings, with both teams close to reaching the top 8 for TI8 direct invites. Since the tournament in China will award the most DPC points of any Major event, an invite is more than important for the teams who want to earn an invite for The International.


EE especially talks about the topic of SEA being at a huge disadvantage this season.

He explains that tournaments (the majority held outside SEA) had just one slot for SEA, whereas other regions benefitted from tournaments held in their own area. With my Mineski winning DAC in Shanghai, SEA finally got their highlight moment of the season, which could have led to more invites for tournaments - if the season wasn't over soon.

While being at a disadvantage concerning invites, SEA has another problem this week. ESL One, MDL, GESC and the Supermajor now have qualifiers all in the same week. As it is the end of the season, it's the last chance for them to qualify for important tournaments and earn that invite to TI8.

Invites were set way before




Due to the controversy surrounding the invites, the organizations were forced to confirm that the invites were indeed decided before DAC.

Phillip Aram, COO and Manager of us Evil Geniuses - one of the teams benefitting from a Supermajor invite - gave insight into the Supermajor invite process by explaining that they were granted their invitation while they were still in the top 8.




EternalEnvy has his own opinion, but what do you think about the invite process?
