I am sure that RayRay probably made top 10 in the polls though. Abegen is actually pretty good and places in Japan frequently but he rarely plays in US tournament same for Nemo. So this is a good way to give players like them an opportunity.
In terms of tournament results and placing, with the exception of PRRog 6 of those top players actually made it in.
1- Chris G (27)
2- Jwong (23)
3- Fchamp (18)
4- PR Balrog (17)
5- Flocker (10)
6- Yipes (10)
7- MarlinPie (10)
3 international players getting the spot is perfectly fine by me.
I'm not speaking about the players involved. I'm talking about the ones who are not involved complaining. Like you bring one player into the mix (Flocker) and it doesn't change the underlying meaning of the tournament. It's still about fan favorites, and all of a sudden everyone shuts up. A good 3rd of these matches are still going to be 3-0 blowups. But no one cares now. It shows that all of it was completely fickle....almost admitting that Capcom Cup's initial plan for this tournament was correct. You can gloss over everyone else besides a few notables, despite performance in tournament.
