    After having a constructive discussion with @WickedGood and others regarding the inclusion of women in GrandMasters, I thought I would write down my thought in an organised manner. So here goes nothing. 1/x

        The issue I believe is that GM is a different thing for different people. For comp players, it is the highest tier of the three tier comp system. It's what you aspire to, and it's the reward for performing well in lower tiers of the comp system. 2/x

        For others, and probably for Blizz though they don't say it explicitly, it's the face of Hearthstone, mainly a PR stunt. That's why all-time money earned is a criteria for inclusion, which allows for well-known-but-not-recently-successful players to be invited 3/x

        It's probably also why the movement in and out of the league is so limited: Blizzard doesn't want "nobodies" to win in level 2 of the tier system and replace, say, Zalae or Firebat, in the GM league. 4/x

        So if you see GM as mostly a PR affair, then yes, more women should absolutely be invited, because it would promote diversity and hopefully encourage more women to compete in HS. But, if you see GM as the tier 1 of the comp system, then invites should be based on performance 5/x

        The fact that Blizzard sold GM as the tier 1 of the comp system while inviting players that aren't the current best + limit the movement in and out of GM can only create confusion and frustration both for comp players who can't get in and from people who wish for + diversity 6/6

        Basically agree with your assessment, my issue is that they sold it as an invitational league, some factors for consideration being “contributions to the hearthstone community and more” so not necessarily wins, points, $, etc. Regardless, 1:48 ratio feels 😬pic.twitter.com/WWqdy1XSWP

        Yes my whole point is that they presented it *both* as the tier 1 of the comp system AND as an invitational league. And now people are saying "but look it is [the tier 1 of the comp system/an invitational league] therefore we [should/shouldn't] have invites for more diversity.
