Hi everybody!
I did create this post to thank you guys for taking part to the tournament with enthusiasm and to congratulate with the first 4 Candidates!
congrats to:
- @arimakat
- @falconpower
- @supwitches
- @ogul1
you did great and are already in ;)
4 more players will join from the losers bracket, where many strong players are still in contention, the fun isn't over yet!
Hopefully in 2 weeks and a half, the Candidates will begin.
I also wanted to make a survey: in many strong tournaments the organizer selects a strong player as a wildcard (for example in the chess Candidates, but also in other events). Would you like me to insert a wildcard into the Candidates? Ofc the wildcard should have some requirements such as a high rating (2200+?) and of course in the next editions the wildcard could be someone who performed very well in the previous WC without winning. Would you agree on a wildcard? I don't want to spread the idea of a player getting in "easily" without passing through the elimination but I think a wildcard could be good to get an even stronger event. So please comment in this thread saying if you would like a wildcard or not, and which requirements do you find appropriate.
