I just got the email so I thought I'd post here since a lot of people probably check TL more than their email

MAPS: http://file.wcgzone.com/map/WCG_2009_Official_Maps_Pack.zip
Blue Storm
Python
Tau Cross
Gaia

It's a 1 week ladder - ELO style, despite what the rules they sent out the other day said.

West ladder is played on US West, East ladder on US East.

You have to use the GamOn client that is supposedly an anti hack, but doesn't appear to have LAN LATENCY.


Here's the email they sent:

You can directly access the league from http://www.wcgzone.com/WCGZone/league/LG_League_Info.aspx?GameNo=2&LeagueNo=340. >From here you will be able to download the official map pack, as well as view the “How to Play” guide which will walk you through the step by step process of playing using the GamOn client.



GamOn Client - http://file.wcgzone.com/WCGZoneInst_080602a.exe (required to play, you will login using your WCGZone ID and password included in this email)

Rules - http://qualify.us.wcg.com/files/file/WCG_2009_Game_Rules_SCBW.pdf

Competition Guide - http://qualify.us.wcg.com/files/file/WCG_2009_SC_Broodwar_Competition_Guide.pdf

Support System - http://qualify.us.wcg.com/?page=support



Remember the event starts tonight, and if you need any assistance, please open a support ticket.

No LAN Latency, a one week ladder and a shitty/old map pool?

:/

That being said, however, I might as well give it a try (except I have two midterms in a row at the end of the week lol)

So I installed the client on Vista x64 and went on west, and the client immediately crashed.

I can't even register on that site. It tells to "Check my ID" no matter what I put in.

So, I ran GamOn client, then launched BW with Chaos Launcher, and I'm on west with WCG icon and WCG game type available.

Someone do the same and let's test and see if we can play with LL and have the game count?

Yea happened to me too. Just click your ID so it rechecks and problem solved.

Edit: By the way I also got the e-mail. It contains my WCGZone ID and the league password.

Well, the problem is it doesn't check at all. There's just a popup saying "RegisterIndex.DuplicationCheck () : undefined". I tried registering in IE and it didn't work either

Laurent (head bw admin for wcg) said the maps are in fact gaia, paranoid, azalea and w/e the old ass terrible map was (I'm blanking).

I just fired off a strongly worded email to one of my contacts/text msg'd the other.

Laurent (who lurks this forum) was of little use. He is a great guy but he isn't really going to bat for anything.. just kinda repeating stuff from the same conflicting emails I received.

I like how a prominent member of the SC community is involved with WCG and the map pool still makes no sense

Best of luck with it inc

WCG has sucked for the past 4 or 5 years. I don't even know how they are still in business to be honest the tournaments each year manage to get worse and worse ...

Ugh what the fuck. They put one map set in the rules and a different map set to download and expect people to just figure it out
