Whatever, this is probably the last year of wcg anyway, it's always been somewhat of a crappy tournament, but it was basically the only big international sc tourney and with huge names like boxer etc showing up it was kinda nice.

Ah fuck it, I'll take TSL over WCG any day.

all WCG Canada does is hold tournament, then give the person with enough money to pay themselves to go to the finals, same situation last year in WCG Poland where Draco went...

...we don't DEFINITELY need funding from WCG Canada, we just need a spot for Canada at the finals and the winner can find is own funds to go, if not then no one goes...


WCG Canada has never allowed that, and I doubt they will start now.


USA has had Paul Brewer do a considerable amount of rule bending (to let deserving players participate, such as in IdrA's case)... I'm sure Canada has someone at the top like him that may be able to pull some strings. Worth checking into. The companies WCG hires to run this shit seems to be different every year too, so things may be possible now.

This really sucks, I have to say. But I sort of agree that WCG really doesn't care about BW. Raising funds for WCG would be nice, but it wouldn't really benefit the SC community all around as would raising funds for say, TSL S2.

As a Canadian, I actually really don't mind cheering for Foreigners in general vs Koreans. With the Foreigners vs Korean competition we have going on, It doesn't feel wrong for me to root for an American or a Russian.

It sucks that Canada won't be represented, and that Canadian players won't get the opportunity, but It's not a terribly deep wound.

Ah fuck it, I'll take TSL over WCG any day.


Indeed. If this was before TSL days, I would have freaked out about this news.. Now it's just Meh.

WTF, as much as I dislike his fake internet attitude, why keep people begging him? for money? Hell, even for other things. He doesn't own you anything and he isn't some god either.


Again, I don't see why the SC community has to pay WCG money because WCG drops SC. We can pay all we want this year. But next year it will be off again. Same for the year beyond that. And who knows if they will ever learn. Just let WCG die so real esports can take it's place. As long as there is WCG we won't have a true olympics of esports.

Dont get me wrong, I think WCG is a fun time and I have been to both a national and grand final, but I wouldn't donate a dime to this.

WCG has been decaying for the past 2-3 years. They never get their shit together on time, and the people running it are not motivated to do the best job they can.

It is not the responsibility of the gamers to prop up this BUSINESS to make it look good. Remember, this IS a business.

$5,000 is a crazy amount of money, and this is for one person from one country. Many people on this site do not have a WCG spot either. I don't think it is fair to get people to donate to just one cause.

If you have ties with a corporate sponsorship, by all means help out. Don't donate out of pocket though. You are throwing your money away.

I agree with Mani: there is no point in investing that amount of money for a cause that is simply not worth it. It's obvious that WCG doesn't care about bw anymore.

I heard there is no wcg philippines this year =[. They gave the spot to C&C (wtf)


Correct. We're sending a total of 8 gamers. 5 CS spots, a C&C3 spot, a WC3 spot and the most important of all, Guitar Hero 3.

You guys should sponsor me instead. I guarantee a group elimination exit.
I know where my towel is.
