Qualifiers are for when there are more groups than the tournament can hold, which only happens at start of server where there are more people and groups are smaller(due to low level).... I'm not entirely sure if ANY server older than a month (or any server at all now days, new server are having less and less ppl....) actually have more than 8 now (or 16?? 2.0 mentioned something about expanding tournament...)

That said, I do think more fair bracketing are needed, at end of the day, groups should be ranked on their capabilities instead of depending on RNG. Right now, only 1st places are guranteed to be "correct"
