honestly if there is no all expense paid vacation with complimentary prostitutes as part of the prize it cant really be considered a grand slam
Yeah I agree, MSC should be in my list as well. I started with the tournaments that had multiple versions, but changed my mind for the teamgames and forgot to add MSC after that.I don't know why people seem not to take MSC as a major tournament. Bigger pricepool than in HC1/2, Kotd1, Boa or in NAC1. It was also best-of-the-best tournament and had interesting stories (Daut ended VIper's reign, Yo unbelivable performance, Villese route to glory as underdog...)
Even 16 seeds and 16 qualifiers would work. I remember Laaaan complaining because despite being a top player he didnt get the chance to join major tournaments. There are a bunch of talented players that could provide interesting upsets facing the masters. And it would give them motivation to improve aswell.Invitations are akin to masters events, you can compare to tennis/snooker/darts whatever sport you want, but all of the major championships have significant qualifiers into main events, I could accept seeing the highest seeded 8 players automatically qualifying to the main tournament provided the tournament had 32 spots..
Anyone remember Balance of Power, Spaden defeating Daut?
Wouldn't of happened today when most tournaments are limited to 8/16 players and mainly invite only.
