Ofc guys with a bad reputation could be excluded. Even taner behaved fine during the CWT though cos he knew he would get kicked out otherwise. I can think of several players who are not assholes and could do what taner did in CWT (or even better).
Not giving everyone a chance kinda takes some of the shine off the victory. We can say the CWT winner is the best of the currently active players. As for EAC we can't say the same. That's my point
