Id just like to say something to this remark.

Elitism and realism are a bit different (sure there might be a bit of that one in there as well). the #250 best vs the #5 best player game will end in 1-9. Id say currently there are around 30-70 players who can compete all around with reasonable skill difference. Not completely equal, but in a way that it would make sense. Sure if its only ABD it might be wider. But if we would make 250 people play 5 mods best of 5 matches it would be super unbalanced. I dont concur with fists 20 players statement. But I do understand where he's coming from.
