For those of you that didn't know(no1 fucking knew until yesterday) there is a WCG USA Pre-Qualifier Tomorrow and Sunday in Las Vegas. Details about it were just released yesterday and they are expecting people to show up. If anyone here intends on going(if anyone in the Las Vegas region plays SC you should go, as there will be almost no competition since no1 knows, same for almost all other games) here are the details:
CyberPunx PC Cafe 4620 Meadows Lane #B6 Las Vegas, Nevada 89107
Registration begins at 10AM PST tomorrow and will end on late Sunday(dunno how that will work if they plan on having a tournament, GOGO UCGA! )
All I can say if they are gonna pull this bullshit with every qualifier there are going to be a whole bunch of unhappy people.

LOL - what happened to the online qualifiers? WTF? Yet another reason why gaming isn't huge in the U.S. - stupid shit like this.
|
wtf? so they are going to randomly announce the events?
|
There are online qualifiers as well as offline qualifiers. But, the SC online qualifiers havn't started yet, or any of them seeing as you can't register on the website. Hats off to you, UCGA you worthless pieces of trash.
|
Dose anyone know WHERE the qualifiers are?
|
Not in CompUSA stores like last year. Like I said earlier, they will be in PC Cafes of the cities last year with a possibility of a few getting moved around. I think most likely the qualifier cities will stay the same though.

where did you find this out?
i dont see it on wcgusa site ???

I think the reason it was so last minute could be because of this ESPN footage for an upcoming piece on gaming. Not sure but that could be the only excuse they have to do something so half-brained as this.
|
so, they skip the prelims and winner of this automatically goes to finals? this format sucks. and the tourny goes over two days? so people who have to travel a ways will have to rent a hotel just to be able to play? ridiculous

lol thats retarded
but i hope they hold one in ohio within 1 month !
that would be sweet
|
No, there will be other qualifiers held around the country in June through September as well as 2 online qualifiers running from June-July, and August-September, where the top 2 of each online qualifier get to go to the national finals.
That is according to the WCG USA site though, which as we see shit can change rapidly
|
|
I think WCG should change its slogon from "Beyond the Game" to "Brought to you by the same idiots that ruined CXG...times two".
|
Ridiculous. I need a couple weeks in advance to get a few days off of work. No contact information at all?

Haha like a few days notice = nobody shows up. Idiots.

It's obvious that it's a conspiracy to create artificial data about the "lack of enthusiasm" for Brood War, so that it can be excluded next year.

|
what the fuck...... how stupid can they get. i have a bad feeling about wcg this year
|
|
lol WCG once again turns a great looking thing with lots of potential into a shitter. Thx WCG for giving us 1 more reason 2 hate u.
|
UCGA is so bad at administrating things like this, it's quite sad. T_T for gamers!
|
To bad if I goto ohio I'll win it rek so even if it was held tomorrow ~~ my rusty arse that hasn't played a 1v1 in 6 months (almost free of bw) could still comeback and walk all over your little protoss legions
fear the zerg

All of the WCG Games(CS, UT, NFSU, WC3, etc.) are being held at this qualifier, not just SC.
|
ya day lol there will probably be like 2 people that show up for some of the games its all a matter of finding last year's Fifa soccer lmao.
|
Bah, watch them make a rule that previous champions cannot participate. Boxer would implode >_<
|
|

Something tells me they are going to completely screw everyone over in no. of locations and where they are located just to get people to play online and pay.
|
well dv8 i hate you but i cant argue with you when it comes to haitng wcg. wcg devil die
edit: no, i dont remember why i hate you. thats not the point. tradition > memory.
|
Dont bitch about bad organization...Last year ours was perfect.This year is &%$^.By the way.What the hell is NFS doing among the WCG games ?!
|
This years WCG is fucken weak. Im done for college now and going home for the summer and figured id start playing again and participate in WCG but this is a damn shame.
|
Guys I think if you read the thing, you have to pay for the face to face as well as the online -_-.
Do you want to register and pay to play in the Online or Face-to-Face Tournament?
* Yes No
|
I won this without even having to play a game. Good job me. See you in LA

Hey Aiur, did you happen by chance to figure out if the WCG reps there had any idea whatsoever about when/where the other prelims are being held? I really don't think they have anyone in charge over there...

I was gonna go compete but i just heard about it last night like everyone else and i would have had to leave right when i heard about it to make it to the competition in time. It is definetly a conspiricy.

i hope ur joking

Not joking. Basically everyone that came here aside from the 4 uk2k4 players didn't have to do anything to qualify. We came in, registered, waited until 3 so they could start the tournaments, and as they seperated us according to games, it turned out we had spread ourselves out pretty evenly [ 1 cs team, 4 ut2k4 players, 2 sc players, 2 war3 players and 1 halo player ]. In fact, the other starcraft player was a fastest map player, at least from the 5-6 games I saw him play. I honestly didnt play a single starcraft game my entire stay at the place, they just said good job, you qualified for the usa finals, now lets go take a picture.
|
|
well well, shit like this is what pisses me off. not the fact that noone attended the las vegas event, but the fact that players that dont need to be in the finals, end up going.
lets just hope the RIGHT players goto the wcg grand finals this year, last year was weak imo compared to the previous.
