where we placing this in terms of mickey mice
so is lock-in more Mickey Mouse than ewc if ewc is below lock-in in terms of Mickey mice?
you said that ewc is below lock-in in terms of Mickey Mouse. why are you contradicting yourself
Lock In was an invitational mickey mouse. EWC you had to qualify for it.
EWC > Lock in
below lock in above ascension type of thing enough good T1 teams with meh format 23 was the val plumbers last year in the scene imo so it could be even with the lock in but as a 3rd party tier 1.5 event would be perfection if it mixed T1 T2
its legit just a showcase tournament before stage 2, with hella money as incentive for teams to try
there a lot of prize money and all but 3 teams in t1 participated in qualifiers, but there are some questionable format choices, so i'd say a bit below 8 team masters but much better than regular off season tourneys
why care about other people's opinion if its a mickey mouse or not. All you need to know is its stacked as fuck and team are 100% try their hardest to win $500k. This is an S tier event no matter what idiots say.
No need to be serious with EWC, except money for business profitability
If this tournament already has the new map, this is a good experimental event
