It was a hard call but more down to time. Trying not to look to far ahead but the amount of invites over next seasons will be vastly reduced as we want to work on a more progressive merit pass.

I know nothing about the UK players (apart from the super obvious ones like DeMusliM) which is a shame. Go Hyvaa, Hyun, Maru, DRG, NaNiwa, MaNa, Genius, Dimaga, Scarlett, Soulkey, First!

It can go both ways. If I sign up for something more than a couple of days in advance, I usually forget to play in it. It can go both ways.

I have never known a major tournament to release the dates of its qualifiers one day before they start, and there is a reason for that! I expect a number of people won't be able to take part in them with a days notice, and most people tend to be busy on a Saturday. I would have loved to have taken part in them and if I had even 3 days notice I could have played on the Thursday qualifiers I have never known a major tournament to release the dates of its qualifiers one day before they start, and there is a reason for that!
