basically play as much as you can against other people on the ladder.

The maps have been adjusted to :

Blue Storm
Python
Gaia
Tau Cross

So it said in the e-mail the ladder would start today. But on the web-site it shows not until tomorrow... I really want to start!

There is no need to register as this has alrdy been done for you. If you didnt register , then you will have to wait and register for the next qualifier.

The ladder does start today. You need to adjust the timezone on the website to whatever timezone you are in.

Currently there are no regional offlines scheduled, winners of the online ladders will go straight to the US Finals.

Feel free to message WCG HQ on the WCG Zone site with your concerns.

The US Invitational is a tournament where all the top finishers from last years US Finals are invited to play. The winners from the US Invitational automatically qualify for the US Finals.

Yay, WCG USA manages to suck again.
I should get Canadian citizenship and play there or something

All the problems you blame WCG USA for are not WCG USA's fault. WCG Korea lays down the law. WCG USA has very little room to make changes.

Are you seriously telling me they tell you to run a 1 week online ladder with an antique antihack without LAN latency (which probably doesn't work anyway if bwhacks works for 1 hour on it) with no offline prelims/regionals? Heck, you guys even send out two different e-mails with completely conflicting information. I'm not even really complaining about the maps though, but every single year WCG USA makes utterly incomprehensible decisions. The handling of known abusers/hackers (even during WCG itself) is a joke. There is literally no justification for not letting people register during the ladder. Maybe you have some idea that it will stop people from making accounts and freewinning or whatever, but that helps not one whit for that.

I'm not sure why a company / entity which knows so little about running StarCraft events is responsible for running WCG USA. I'd rather have King Ansadi run WCG USA, frankly.

Frankly, the way all leagues (TSL, SSL, ASL) do it running off ICCup would be the best option, but unfortunately they probably can't run it that way due to ICCup being technically against Blizzard's EULA.

They should just put Control or someone who knows about StarCraft in charge of WCG USA. He's even a TV star!

How do you play if you can't even register @_@, and the gameon client crashes every 5 sec

GamOn was created by WCG Korea. It is recquired to use.

Offline regionals was a budget cut , and budgets come from WCG Korea/Samsung

What exactly is the problem about having a set time to register and then following that and closing registration?

WCG Korea is in charge of running Starceaft, you play via their client, their website and their rules. I dont see whats so hard to understand about that?

The only conflicting information in the 2 emails is that one said tournament and the other said ladder. That has been clarified many times on the website.
