We already got some feedback which includes most of your suggestions . Nevertheless , the teams we let participate were not professional nor financial supported hardware sponsored is something completely different so this is a false claim . Maybe I can explain it this wayRight now , there is no real 3 rd and 2 nd tier competive scene , since Overwatch is just too young to have evolved far enough for teams to find a spot in except the real pro teams in 1 st tier e . g . C 9 . You already experience this in the actual competitive mode when you queue . So that basically means all below that skill level sit in the same pool , try to climb a latter which has not evolved in 2 seasons . But I can assure you for the next tournament we will focus to have an equal skillrating from range x to y e . g . 25003300 . I understand some teams had bad luck regarding the BO 1 and it is in my best will to change that for the next tournament e . g . a qualification round with a loser bracket which then leads into a new bracket more games , more equality . Thank you for your feedback
