Just remove them. 

20 teams, more spots. The best teams will get the spots in PRO. Easy. 

These teams were not meant to be there from the first place. 

Or just keep them, 20 or 25 teams doesnt really matter. It's just 2 more gamedays. 

Well, they changed lots of stuff. 

They also changed that number 15 and 16 in Pro would get an extra chance. Maybe they should change that back as well because those teams "were not meant to be there in the first place".

Why would it be a mess? What would it change more than gamer doing the right thing considering Kenu already talking about making this changes for ECL 13? 

I think (pretty much) everyone wants the PRO division to be competivitive. Just let everyone play in the qualifier so we get the best available teams in PRO for the next season. 

There is still time, gamer. 

 

There are probably many reasons why it could be difficult as the Qualification begins tomorrow (?). One reason could be this:

It is supposed to be 20 teams in the qualification. If you bring those 5 teams back, then you will have to remove the 5 teams they added to the Pro Qualification. Because, if they don't, they change the whole model and nothing is how it's supposed to be. That is only one of the things.

Edit: I agree with a lot. Yes, it is unfair in some parts and i also feel sad for some teams. But still I feel a big hesitation in changing all of it and make a u-turn.

It must be very challenging to reconcile all these various factors that go into decisions like these when you're transitioning from a four-tier system into a five-tier one. That said, I think there is a lesson for the staff (who I understand to be dedicated, passionate, and working hard to give us all the best ECL experience possible) to be learned from these announcements. They have been well-written so I'm not criticizing that, but they have included so much to take in that it can get confusing. The puzzle is so large that putting it together without missing any pieces can be difficult. The staff obviously knows all that stuff before the announcements, and presenting it in an easily digestible manner to the rest of us is something that I feel could be improved.

It is tricky for sure, but I think a potential approach would be to prioritize the most pertinent information, perhaps even making separate announcements published some time apart, and to more strongly differentiate the various bits of information via logical categorization. This would help people build a coherent overview of the changes in their minds. Realistically, long detailed explanations will not engage most people's steadfast attention. This leads to some of the evident confusion and misunderstanding where some things come as a surprise to some people despite having already been presented.

After all that I will add that my message mainly concerns the vast announcement during ECL 11 as this new one on its own is quite effective.

Good points @Janikka I agree with that things can improve and get more clear. For now I am one of those who are open to change things, because obviously it can be better 🙂 It is a spinning wheel and there will always be someone that is dissatisfied.

Anyhow, i do NOT support doing this changes now, a couple of days before it all starts. That would be a mess in my opinion.

This means:

* Winner of B07 games play Pro next season
* If your team does not reach Last 16 in Lite there is no chance for Pro next season.
* If your team will be 15 or 16 in PRO there is no chance for Pro next season.
* If your team goes to the semifinal in Lite you will play Pro next season.
* Lite 16, Qual and Wild teams will have a chance to get an Open Spot after next signup.

This is just one model. I don't actually see the point with Wild Cards, but this system works without those teams as well, of course.
