Pit for LM

We notice that the number of participants in the LM is almost twice as many as in the OFB.
The question of forming the OFB roster has always been decided approximately a month before the start of the Tournaments. It was decided jointly by the organizers of the finished/ongoing major Tournaments. It is quite difficult to guess what will happen in the next six months, which Tournaments will be successful. There may be withdrawals from those who took high places in the previous OFB. There may also be overlaps of Tournament winners (as was the case last time - FireToSky was selected from 2 Tournaments). There are too many factors that cannot be taken into account in advance.
Based on the current situation, it makes sense to count on 1 guaranteed spot for the winner and a playoff game between the second place in the OFB and the second place in the LM.
BUT: there is a non-zero probability that someone, Satyr, will become the winner of both Tournaments, in which case both second places will advance without a game.

If you are not going to play in the next OFB, it would be helpful to let us know now.
The same request to other players who advanced from OFB-3 to OFB-4. Please let us know about your plans.

Well, the LM players don't play because of advancing to the OFB, but because the Tournament is interesting. And the OFB players don't play for the sake of matches between Miners/Vales on CM/Jebus :). Logically, a Tournament called "Selection for OFB" should give the winner not just one advancement, as well as the winner of any major Tournament, but also +n number of spots. What's the point of just playing it then?
