The System



When discussing the system TSL always ranks TSL seeds on top. This a reward that we give to people who do well in our tournaments. After this is where it became very interesting. There are two very strong arguments directly opposed of each other. One goes that players going through the qualification procedure should be ranked the highest and the other is that Korean invites are ahead of the other players. Because we feel both arguments have merit we have went with a system that mixes the invites with the qualifiers. We started off with the qualifiers because they had to work for their spots.
