Not downvoting you, i half agree, I think the EWC should be considered a Masters-level event, but the way its setup and everything it just feels so weird, it doesn't feel like an international tournament and does feel like a goofy offseason thing. I hope its fixed next year so it can really live up to that masters-level tournament like it should. Also the fact its practically immediately after masters doesn't help it at all, i have only watched a couple games from the EWC and I tend to watch a lot of masters with friends regardless if my team is playing or not, just doesn't feel right
