Well every continent have 1 spot except Europe, it's not our fault that only 2 teams from Oceania applied.

so the main rule was : every continent gets 1 spot no matter how many countries are there ?

2016-06-23 18:43

That was general idea, but for the next year we gonna try to expand Asia, or host a lan TWC Asian Quals.

2016-06-23 18:44

regarding that matter, it would be better to have a ME Qualifier 'lan or online' , and a SE Asia one because of the pings and making other opportunities ;)

2016-06-23 18:47

We will definitely think about those, thank you for suggestions.

2016-06-23 18:49

FYI for the glaring omissions, YAM/JKS didn't want to play.

2016-06-23 16:59

AZR staying in Aus - Means he hasn't been approached by NA team, JKS + Yam + Ustilo to a team
