I dont see it as singling him out, as far as i can tell no one here actually cares about laurent or even knows who he is. He singled himself out as the "face" of wcg:bw and claimed he could make changes happen. And now he is taking personal offence when people arent exactly happy that he isnt living up to expectations. As far as I know he is getting paid to do this and should remain 100% professional with none of this crybaby bullshit. We get mad at him -> He gets mad at his superiors -> shit happens or at least thats how its supposed to happen but instead he is turning back around on us and taking offense to it.

This just seems embarrassing for the community to associate itself with.
You can't just declare a boycott, you're being melodramatic and stupid.
Talk to people privately, get the majority to sign up and then maybe you might have something less than a joke. If you can't back your words up then you just sound silly.

I'm not saying I agree with the farcical running of WCG USA but that doesn't change the fact.

Look this sucks but I don't know that singling out Laurent is a great idea. It doesn't sound like he has a great handle about what's going on (given he doesn't seem to know how maps work) so it's natural he would get upset when we all start going at him with demands when he can't understand why they are reasonable and necessary.


which brings about the question: Why isn't someone who knows whats going on heading this project?

the truth is this even will run fine with or without your support (at best) and at worst they might just pull the plug and take away USA's slots.. no usa = is it worth having a WCG sc?... dont like where thats going.

anyways im sure MasterOfChaos or similar would offer their LL an AH for use in the qualifiers, after all i'm lead to believe these tools are made for the community (and not for any intended profits) and this event sounds like its in dire need.

This just doesn't seem like a good idea to me. WCG is the biggest tournament for Starcraft Broodwar (for USA at least) every year. Regardless of how shitty the rules might be, it seems stupid to completely turn your back on the event, when you know there may not be another in the future (Starcraft 2). I think the best thing to do is just keep complaining, hope for changes, and if they don't come then you just have to accept what the rules end up being. Yeah it will suck if the rules are not up to par, but nothing will be gained by giving up on the tournament altogether.

What do you mean you can't just declare a boycott? How else do you think they start. And he isn't declaring one, he's just trying to rally support for the idea.

Why would Samsung, a Korean Company, give a flying fuck if there are SC players from the US competing in WCG (an event of which they are the primary sponsor) ;p?

SC will be gone from WCG soon anyway, with SC2 being released.

Also the reason the maps have been stagnant is because Blizzard wont add any new maps to battle.net for WCG.

Obv Blizzard need to make some new maps and then upload them onto battle.net so we can host games on them.

I'm assuming this is because they have to host games in "WCG" mode? Sort of like what KBK used to have.. In which case what he says is perfectly valid - they DO need Blizz to approve the maps before hand, I'm pretty sure.

Anyway, maybe that's not how it works, just saying it might be.

This is such an awesome idea, maybe we should have someone do it

I'd love to see "WCG sucks" written in pylons/units or just have the player spam ingame: "WCG Sucks"

Or just have everybody play Terran, and have every game be a reenactment of the Canata vs. Shine game from MST.

Who will care the boycott? The so-called American 3-tie shithead (Idra's word)? Korean pro-gamers?

Don't take yourself as sth, man. In amateur's world no one knows you. In pro's world no one knows you.

PATHETIC.
If you're going to walk around with 8 posts insulting DAY EFFING [9], you won't last long around here.

I couldn't play in that even even if I wanted to, so I can't be much help with the boycott though. :D

I support this idea and will not be participating in WCG USA this year (I have played for the past four years). If everyone has the mindset that "no one wants to put themselves out there so I shouldn't either since it won't work," it obviously won't, so please people, put aside your selfishness and send a message to WCG staff. I am glad that they are working on it (as Inc had mentioned), but until it gets fixed, I don't think that they have a good reason for not listening to any of the community's feedback for the past few years and thus do not get the respect that should be given to the nation's largest tournament.


I believe this is a good way of letting the WCG USA staff know how seriously the community is viewing their (lack of) organization. +1 for political activism.

Yeah, for something like this we need everyone... even if you're hoping to win the event, like Nony or Idra, please consider it.
