Selling spots for money is, in my opinion, a flawed practice.
In the previous tournament, I insisted that this shouldn't happen, and who did we ultimately lose? Basically, no one – almost everyone who wanted to and could (in terms of skill and finances) come, did come.
Peterius understood the situation particularly well, organizing an additional qualifier, thanks to which Neo, Medium, and he himself made it to the finals. This should only be encouraged.
The situation is similar now: if you don't make it in one qualifier, you can go to another, as almost everyone has the opportunity. At worst, you can organize one yourself if you can't travel anywhere.
