Ok... so I'm just after another conversation to polish WCG orgas. They sent e-mail to Europe WCG coordinator with a question if they could add another player to WCG Poland roster. I asked some questions to get details about what could be main problem over here. It seems to reserve hostel/plane ticket isnt a big deal, especially with Draco flying from South Korea, not Poland, and probably residing in different hostel (so virtually I could just use ticket/ hostel room he received for winning polish WCG). And theres no specific deadline to add new players. The problem is, this Europe WCG coordinator they were talking to before (like 1 month ago) and then he said he is not sure if its ok to let players go for their own money, because its not fair for the players who have not cash for it, etc.

At the other hand we know they made those exceptions so many times. Thats why our orgas asked me to send sources about sending players from other countries for their own $. They said, Europe coordinator should answer today about my case.

During conversation I've got an idea I could contact directly global orgas of WCG (korean ICM maybe?) to ask if its ok to play in GF being #2 and having own sponsors. Such a confirmation should help BADLY to get Europe coordinator let me go to Monza. Polish orga I was talking to agreed with me and said I should try to get such a confirmation if I have a chance to (it seems he has no idea how to contact global orgas, because everytime he had any questions about WCG he just contacted Europe coordinator).

Well, I'm not sure which contact I should try. I've found some e-mail / phones to International Cyber Marketing, korean company being main orgas of WCG, but maybe someone knows direct contact e-mail / phone to orga who is responsible for decissions like that?

CrayOn said he got some contacts but I didnt get any PM yet. Maybe some WCG referees from last years know right persons to talk to?

Once again, asking for help, thanks in forward, I will be glad if you can support me in my quest for Monza

A flight from Germany to Monza/Milano does cost around $75-$125 (more fore first class etc) for a roundtrip,same prizes will go to Poland I assume, shouldnt be more expensive. If you share your hotelroom with friends its less than $250 or something a week,breakfast included mostly. The prizes for hotel and such stuff are actually not high, its pretty cheap if you are not booking on a 5* hotelroom. Then you will need around $100-$200 for food, bus and such things. I think you will be fine with ~$500 (+,-$100) + the prize for WCG spot, no clue how much that does cost. But money shouldn't be the main problem I guess

mym

Don't worry about the money, your prize at the WCG will cover it all

It's great that Raven tries to make it and I'm on his side but there's some kind of reflection which always comes to my mind in such cases... I mean - mYm supported Suncow and Draco when they tried to go to Korea, now they will (probably?) support Raven. And who supports mYm? They can't even get decent lineup vs ToT... I am not trying to offend anyone - I just try to say how weird it is and how sad I am about it. Don't players feel that they have a debt? Do they REALLY cannot play or they just find excuses?

yeah, it's pretty ridiculous in most cases, it shows that people who play online games still don't threat it as a sport and in general are pretty immature and irresponsible about things =)

well you can't say that they're irresponsible.. all the polish had wcgs that time and we weren't allowed to postpone the games.. there's nothing much we can do bout it

The available numbers are meant to be finalized well before the finals are done. (they can use less but can never use more) The only exception i've ever heard of is giyom who called up ICM in korea had a chat then handed the phone over to canadian organisers who quickly decided to allow it.

(maybe its dramatized but thats the scene i've got in my head

)

All others were preorganized before the finals occured. And the national organizers decided not to use all of the available spots. Just later on the ppl wanted to.

gl with your endevour, i hope you succeed in it and get to go to wcg, but i dont think it should be allowed, and i'll be annoyed (at wcg) if it is.

about this monza trip price.
as i remember from polish forums, some1 said - i belive it was Cyru - that such trip will cos around 6000 zlotys' it's about 1500 euro.
in that case i have no idea why would trip from poland to menza and from netherlands to singapoure cost the same :F
anyway i wish raven good luck

@Leggionaire - well we contacted our local orgas about the case way before WCG (as we do every year but our orgas always too sleepy/lazy to get it done).. now I just contacted differenct guy from this company.

And well... it seems I have got news from ICM few minutes ago...

I GO TO MONZA!

Thanks again to all you who helped me gathering proofs about previous exceptions!
