Besides that this gives more chance for teams like L3, who otherwise needed to play in the European qualifiers for having two players from Belgium and three from The Netherlands. Isn't that the same situation your team would be in if there wasn't a Benelux qualifier?
*check svo's comment below*
benelux: srs, tek9, KC, sample, L3 and these are only the known topteams..
ukraine: 0?
