Electronic Sports World Cup (ESWC) has a lot of qualifiers Worldwide and has nationality-based teams; why dont they have has high a percentage as the WCG?
ESWC was closely looked at for its consideration in the national ranking starting in 2003. While they have strived to be similar to FIFAs World Cup, they allow more latitude in the rosters for nationality-based teams. Many teams have attended with players from many different countriesTeam NOA being the most recognized of these examples. Even with this limiting factor the event does provide a nice balance of countries and avoids over saturation of host countrys teams by limiting number of representatives per nation. These negatives and positives were weighted to create a distinction worthwhile to single out, but without the pure Olympics format of the WCG. Note: GotFrags Nations Ranking may change the weight of the future ESWC events depending on recent rule changes made by ESWC. For example, ESWCs 2006 change to require a majority of members from a national qualifiers host nations is a move which would weigh ESWC events more heavily on the Nations Ranking.
