I definitely would not call any of those players above mid level.
I agree to a certain degree that the tourney was a bit unbalanced, since a few of the teams had players that were mid- or in the higher end of mid tier, while others had a mixture of mid to low level players, but all in all I personally think that, on an individual level, the players that were signed up for the tournament were all within the frames of mid-/low level.
It just begs the question, what is considered high level nowadays? So many of the top players have quit over the past year it might be time to set a different standard than the all-time list, since most of them don't play anymore and having that list as the destinction between high level players and the rest just removes about 10% (or less) of the current comp scene from participating in a mid/low level tournament.
I wrote about this above. It's not that difficult to find and identify high-level players.
1.
If you are a member of any team in League One, you will already be stronger than many players in League Two. This is because the teams in league one are playing more, competing, playing against similarly strong teams, and therefore gaining experience and skill.

The same goes for low and middle level players. For example in the same - Warband Matchmaking client . I am sure that if a player is really low or medium level - it is unlikely he can and will achieve any success there. Conversely, if a player is really good, strong and plays at a good level, he will play well in tournaments, Matchmaking and for the regiment. Examples of such players who are members of strong teams , and have good strong stats and statistics in the same Matchmaking are : Ronaldinho , Coco ayala , Tommy , Bird , and others . We cannot call a player weak , or a low level player , if he is a member of one of the best group-fighting teams in Europe , and plays with high stats in Matchmaking.
bit cringe of some players that imo shouldn't even have been playing since they are way better then all of the players competing.
Im going to highlight two posts from two of my lads, which were a little frustrated because of the choice of players which got accepted. We didnt really have the problem that 1-2 individuals destroyed us, but its always frustrating for our unexperienced players (i dont refer to snowwi and krazy on this one) to get destroyed by players clearly out of their league cause they snuck themselves into this tournament just to farm palmares.
To be honest having a 1 or 2 little bit better teams really made it quite good, RF had a good challenge against those better teams and we had to try a bit better. even tho we lost those matches I feel like we didnt do bad at all and it was a real good challenge and experience that made the tourney a bit harder and better. I agree there where a few players who where maybe high mid tier, but I still didnt find it unbalanced. RF could have won against Winx or even SF but we also made quite some mistakes in our matches that costed us a lot of rounds
You would have a much better chance of winning if these teams such as SF1 , WinX - did not have players from : "Animals , NSS , and other teams, stronger than this tournament".
If WinX didn't have Tommy and BlueWinx, who alone can slaughter half the tournament - the chances would be much higher.
The same goes for Maskmann , Aras , Nedim . The three of them are a much stronger threat, as all three of them are League One players from a professional team - NSS, as opposed to all players and teams in the tournament.
