I'm really thinking about the countries invited. I think the teams qualifing grow as a team through the quali's

yeah, it's alot about scheduling with tier 1 players. I feel like the top nations don't have time to scrim because they have players in all the major competitions.

you're talking about getting elimed from EWC? I'm thinking about the people in the VCT not being able to scrim because they have to play for their contracted team.

they have to scrim, they are repping their country. a lot of them are proud to rep their country. and some teams have players that haven't played in a while. like Tenz and Marved on Canada.

They have to be able to right though?

Are the teams going to make subs between maps? And is there a way for them all to scrim before the tournament while they play in the leagues?
