Since now we have only 90 qualys instead of 105 like before and more slots to play open cups = one more round per cup = more difficulties to get a top8. I think it would be fair for all the competitors if the numbers of top 8s decrease to 4 @HSesports 🙏🏻 https://t.co/pgXYtFjnDm

      @nayarasylvestre @HSesports We're monitoring the number of Top 8 invites that come out of the MT Online: APAC qualifying season & will consider adjusting if we feel it is needed. When we first reduced down to 5, we were estimating around 12 players would reach that threshold. 1/3

        @nayarasylvestre @HSesports Our actual numbers have been near double that amount, hence why we have not further adjusted. Balancing the number of invited players is never easy. To bring the best experience for our Masters Tour players, 2/3

          @nayarasylvestre @HSesports ...we need to ensure that qualifying paths with an indefinite number are monitored carefully. I definitely appreciate your feedback, and encourage all players to bring their thoughts to us. For me, it is my passion to bring the best experience to our players. 3/3

            @KaliPandarson @nayarasylvestre @HSesports If you are looking for the best experience for players, have you considered inviting based on win %? You would need a min no. of cups. You could set a cut then to control the players. I would say it's a terrible player experience to have the best winrate in cups and not qualify. https://t.co/ObLtHvnu7i

              @BoarControl @KaliPandarson @nayarasylvestre @HSesports i think its bad idea since then it gives incencitive for players to not play if they are not fully concentrated and it will make every series more stressful since even round 1 game will affect your qualifying chances significantly.

                @fudovhs @KaliPandarson @nayarasylvestre @HSesports Fair point. IN the current system, losing Round 1 is also reducing your odds of qualifying! Plus, not playing fully concentrated decreases your chance of qualifying in both cups and ladder right now too.
