It appears that things are moving in the direction of this year's Worlds - that is, top teams through + first-come-first-served prelim tourney (perhaps with some spots saved for all the saddos making the long and expensive journey? :D ). We're getting to a point where we can't deny the fact that these are championships and we've finally got enough good teams to displace the lesser teams.
Kevin has a point, though, regarding how borders are and aren't used. Is the reason why this works better in NA because the US is one big country as opposed to a group of smaller countries?
International super-teams are pretty damn sweet, tho.
