WCG question.

Just wondering if anyone knows why WCG decided to only let 4 teams at the max participate in the WCG Nationals this year in America, yet for Canada essentially every team has a nationals opportunity?

Last years method worked well with 4 teams from each qualifier being invited, and each first place team getting a stipend. 7 Teams were invited to Nationals, and 5 attended. This year there is a possibility of a 3 team Nationals with a max of 4, and I was just wondering why WCG would make it that way. Just interested if anyone knows why or if this could change.

For those who don't understand how only 3 could qualify, this is how.

Winners of Qualifier 1: Team A (get stipend)
2nd Place Qualifier 1: Team B

Winners of Qualifier 2: Team B (Get Stipend)
2nd Place Qualifier 2: Team C

This happened last year when PDF got 2nd place and then 1st in the next qualifier only allowing 7 teams, which was still a good sized lan. This year however I feel like a 3 team LAN would be boring, as I always enjoy watching teams that are not thought of as highly play against top teams at nationals. However this year it looks like it might just be 3 power house online teams IE: Hammertime, Carbon, Socks
