Agree that WC and big events should be run by "neutral" players like DT or Wulven employees but if you read GDC's or even Kyle's posts, Mojumbo and the rest had to do 10 things at the same time and thats why was all delayed and we had like 5 regionals in the last 2 weeks before WC.
A TO that only has to organize the event without any other concern in SE, can do it better because he can focus in it and nothing else (excpet RL, ofc)

About me: An old interview
I'm not sure if it's ok to let guild members to organize this event but I'm not participating, so I don't really care.
Haha Buqs would love a Gravebone inspired Wulven staff.

I'm sure many people would volunteer to be the President of the United State without any pay even though it is an exhausting job. But that doesn't mean they should be.
I appreciate his willingness to sacrifice his time. I really do. But that has no bearing on my opinion to his suitability.
Subtle implies not even having outright evidence. E.g. picking a time slot for the finals that you know would be more advantageous to your interest party.
Pyrogene, we've had a number if TO's and OOPS involved with WC events who have guild affiliations this year, and as far as I'm aware there where no improprieties with regards to manipulations. Could you perhaps point to some specifics occurrences to justify this concern?

This is partially why I have only organized one tournament during my time in SE.
I'm affiliated to a party that might or might not want an advantage. That would not change even if I would leave the guild as there would be no evidence of me not being affiliated to the said party any longer.
I would say that the recent Quick-Match ladder shenanigans are enough to justify that concern.
