Winter World Cup WINNER - poweewee (Philippines)

[Harti]

I just checked the charts and I do agree that it's a bit rough to only let the group winner proceed (no bias - I'm saying that as a 5-0) because then you could as well have made a Super-Titan only tournament with 64 entries (I do realize there are non-STs to win their group currently but you get my point, right?).

Granted, it's a little late to decide on that as the group stage is progressing but it is something you could consider. Having more groups doesn't mean the tourney will take much longer; it's merely one more KO stage, I guess, and it leaves better chances for Gifted players who really deserve a spot in such an important tourney provided they're doing well!
