EU CCRC
Just want to vent and cope a bit, so:
There is very little participation in high ranks and the inactive time for crystal queue is around 18 hours each day (which means there is only a 6 hour frame where people can play ranked crystal games, for my time in CEST: 22:00-04:00, so very rough as a working man) and it is often less than that or there is not a single game being played on the day.
With that small of a community a regional championship is being made and not only that there is no moderation in match making and also no way to play as a team other then custom games, the country eligibility is so restricted that almost 70% of European countries can not even try and enter the tournament.
List of countries that can: Must reside within the United Kingdom (excluding British Overseas Territories), France (excluding Overseas France), Germany, Australia, Spain, Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, Austria, Finland, Norway, Switzerland, New Zealand, Denmark, or Greece.
Basically almost entire central and eastern Europe can not even participate and also Italy and Portugal are out of the tournament.
After CCRC was initially announced, I had to wait like more than 2 months just to find out that I can not even enter the tournament. I would not even mind if I was not eligible for money prize or anything, but not being able to participate after playing this game mode for 7 seasons just feels utterly ridiculous.
A small side note about what to expect: A lot of current high ranked CC players are not allowed to enter, only a couple of crystal teams will be formed and after the disqualifications from the NA tournament, more than likely quite a few of them will get disqualified as well. Expect to see bronze-platinum players in the qualifiers and quarter-finals.

They should only let non-t100 players qualify to make it fair for not getting very coveted exclusive portraits
