- 1. 16 players automatically advance to the group stage. This right is granted to absolutely all champions of the current year, in any official personal tournament from HeroesWorld, regardless of the tournament format....
- The remaining spots are filled according to achievements (rating), with the most weight given to recent achievements and awards......
- 2. The remaining 16 spots are played for in a relatively open qualification......
It's unclear how it's defined. How many participants are planned to be recruited in total? How many groups, and how many participants from the qualification round will advance to the main tournament bracket?
If it's analogous to the Champions League, there should be 32 players and 8 groups in the main bracket. The top 16 spots are taken by the winners of the tournaments, and the rest – how are they determined? There's a contradiction in the 2nd and 3rd quotes you provided.
In the main stage, there will be 32 players, with 16 qualifying directly (all champions from 2013 plus individuals who, for various reasons, are not champions of 2013 but deserve to play in the main stage due to their personal achievements). The remaining spots will be decided in the qualifiers.
How many remaining spots will be available for the competition?
P.S.:
I think that 8 spots for the qualifying round would be optimal. Distribute all those who pass the qualification into 8 different groups.
All information is in the first post, you just need to read it carefully ;)
16 spots are determined through qualification.
16 players automatically advance to the group stage. This right is granted to all champions of the current year, in any official individual tournament from HeroesWorld, regardless of the tournament format. The remaining spots are filled according to achievements (rating), with the most recent achievements and awards carrying the greatest weight.
I just realized that there are 16 spots for qualification. Actually, it's not quite written correctly:
It reads as if 16 are accepted based on merit (wins), and the remaining 16 based on ranking. But in reality, as I understand it, the remaining players to reach 16 (in case there aren't that many winners) are chosen based on ranking, and the rest are determined in the qualification round ;)
