Geposted von cLaun,
Am Montag hatten 11 Teams, unter anderem zwei deutsche, gegen die direkten Einladungen zum EU-Minor Protest eingelegt. Der Veranstalter PGL hat diesen nun auch beantwortet, nicht gerade zur Zufriedenheit der Teams. Die deutschen Teams PENTA, ALTERNATE aTTaX sowie die vier finalen Teams aus dem ersten Qualifier waren unter den Namen, die den Brief des Finnen Tomi 'lurppis' Kovanen unterschrieben.

Offener Brief an PGL von Tomi 'lurppis' Kovanen

A core value when it comes to CS:GO Majors and qualifiers is that all teams should have an equal chance. There have never in the history of CS:GO Minor events been any direct invitations. Remember that the challenger teams already have a long way to go to get to the Major, starting from online qualifications, followed by the Minor events and finishing with the main Major qualifier. Inviting four teams to an eight team Minor, and forcing all the other teams to compete against one another does not seem fair.

"There is no definitive and agreed to CS:GO team ranking system, and as such there should not be any direct invitations for Minor events. Alternatively, if e.g. the HLTV.org ranking were to be used, it should be made clear to all teams, so they would know of a way to make their qualification route for the Major easier in advance. All teams should qualify on the same conditions. A closed online qualifier with seeded teams based on actual team ranking could be an agreed solution, but that is far away from the current system we perceive as unfair.

Die Antwort seitens PGL war kurz und knapp. Kerninhalt ist, dass sich an den Einladungen und der Struktur des Qualifikationsprozess nichts ändern wird und die Teams sich über die Open Qualifier qualifizieren sollen.

Statement PGL

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback regarding the EU Minor invitations and qualifier policy.

The invites status and the current structure will not be changed.

Therefore, teams that still wish to participate in the EU Minor playoff will have to earn their spot through the remaining two Open Qualifiers, the first of which will start next week on October 18.

Regards,

PGL

Die überwiegende Meinung von Experten und Teams ist, Veranstalter von offiziellen Qualifiern zu Major-Events stärker zu regulieren und den Qualifikationsprozess komplett von der Leistung der Teams abhängig zu machen, wie es in der Vergangenheit der Fall war.

Teilnehmerfeld PGL EU-Minor
se Fnatic (invited)
