WCG is a joke and allways will be. I sincerely hope some other company starts a new official world championship so this shit can stop. Even though I'm obviously not american I can't help but feel for you guys. This shit is beyond arrogant towards the players. | ||

What I don't understand, is how there are horror stories like about USA WCG every single year. How incompetent do you have to be to make the same mistakes year after year, with feedback from the gamers themselves, with people like Incontrol actively communicating with people high up in wcg. It's amazing really. TSL's huge success alone completely undermines any plausible excuse for this imo. | ||

I'll inform everyone of the problem with WCG though. Simply put; theres not enough money in WCG USA or to be had (yet). When theres no money in it theres no real trueinterest from the people operating it which means the capable, intelligent, experienced people that WCG USA needs just don't get hired. I think once SC2 comes out with a lot of help from Blizzard stuff like this will definitely start to change. But for now, we must deal with these idiots. Laurent has been and still is one of the best gaming Admins in the world.. Should not just dismiss the situation as a "lack of funds" excuse as if better leadership was willing to work for less (or work for anything at all). After reading this thread it seems many (including Laurent) are out of place, however next time maybe some of you should set aside the "glory" aspirations and take ownership of the situation and volunteer or apply with WCG. Best of luck to everyone still taking part in the event. | ||

Or you could just let people play the games on a selection of standard maps. If you want to get really keen I'm sure you could find a dozen people here to take some icc maps and rename them to WCG, have a bit of WCG related text pop up at the start etc... The WCGUK admins let us play on whatever maps we thought appropriate provided we all agreed to it. Gameon is obsolete. The Blizzard maps are obsolete. Why is WCGUSA flogging a dead horse when the rest of the world either has the professionalism to update their shit or the wisdom to step back and let the gamers do what they do best? | ||

Please test it and let us know how well it works on your system. and if there are any features that we should include, such as the variable Latency. (making room name ending with _L3 gives Latency 3). If you already have WCGZONE GamOn, just start it and it will automatically update. If you do not have the client, you can download it at http://file.wcgzone.com/WCGZoneInst_080602a.exe. Thanks! Sang Hong World Cyber Games / Manager of Contents Development sanger at wcg dot com | ||

It's clear the people in charge at WCG do not intend to think beyond "if we hold this video game thing, nerds will come, and we can cash in on advertising." They don't give a fuck about the integrity of the tournament or who wins. | ||
