It's ridiculous enough that they're excluding Major (although I can see potential visa issues), but why on earth not people from a part of Canada? As I live in quebec I've seen this for many contests... I don't think redbull is to blame here, It's because of some strict (stupid) laws we have here. This might give you an idea http://contests.about.com/od/sweepstakes101/f/VoidinQuebec.htm Still doesn't explain why they would let a korean player play in the NA qualifier. I guess they just don't give a !@#$ | ||

It takes a lot of bravery to stand up like this! I'm a Scarlett fan and will defend her to the end, and I agree that Red Bull admin is to blame. But to be fair, throwing the finals and not inviting casters to the games was not the most professional thing to do. "Manners" and professionalism are important because she represents Team Acer, even when she's taking a principled stand. It's also not good for her fans and not fair to the casters, who had to wait and fill down-time for over an hour wondering what happened. Personally, I think the safer thing to do would have been to follow Red Bull protocol and play out the games, and then make the issue known afterwards via Twitter, Reddit, or even through the various team management (Millenium, for example, probably has a thing or two to say about what happened to Goswser). That way, she'd protect Team Acer's image (and hers), and she preserves the relationship with Red Bull. Point being ... when it comes to conflict resolution, it's important to take your time and think things through before you act. But Scarlett -- don't be hard on yourself. Stuff like this is learned over time, and when all's said and done, this is still going to be fixed thanks to you. Good luck in Singapore! (and likely Red Bull Battlegrounds as well!) | ||

Jig and Desrow (from Quebec) and Major (from Mexico) weren't allowed to play in the qualifier so Apoc shouldn't have been allowed either. So Scarlett refused to invite the casters to the game for the finals of qualifier against Apoc.

No, this is not the spirit of the rule at all and I expect it to be corrected, as it should. That is not why Scarlett was angry. She was angry because there was not a competent admin who could make any decision, much less even help... | ||

We are all still waiting for word on what will happen with the Battlegrounds situation. Scarlett has posted a TwitLonger explaining the situation. They could end up replaying that entire half of the bracket, so I won't assume Scarlett will be getting the spot automatically. However, the event is on November 23rd-24th in NYC. She qualified for IEM Singapore, it will be November 28th-December 1st. The VOD's were scattered all over the place but this is everything I could find. MLG has the rights to  HuK's dance party in the upper bracket finals. So if you have a subscription you should check it out!Scarlett played some protoss last night and it makes me feel like a better person because she called it "satisfying"  Scarlett's choochoo train October 23rd IEM Singapore Qualifiers  IEM Season VIII - Singapore/American QualifierQuarterfinals  Scarlett vs HellokittyGame 1 Game 2 Semifinals Scarlett vs KaneGame 1 Game 2 Game 3 Scarlett qualifies for IEM Singapore, we'll see you there! http://us.intelextrememasters.com/news/huk-and-scarlett-join-the-lineup-for-singapore/ October 22nd-23rd Red Bull Battlegrounds NORTH AMERICAN Qualifier #2 Brackets Round of 32 Scarlett vs GuitarcheeseGame 1 Game 2 Round of 16 Scarlett vs  SonicGame 1 Game 2 Semifinals Scarlett vs StateGame 1 Game 2 Game 3 Something for the weirdos  | ||

Apoc gets DQ'd, and everyone who faced him will replay their games in qualifier #2. Glad Scarlett made enough noise to make sure the right thing happened. | ||

I can’t say that you’re wrong in this sense, but, to her defense, she (and others before) talked to them for hours and they said to just play the games (to shut up basically). Sometimes you need to break free from the chains of ‘professionalism’ in order to do what you believe is the right thing to do. Strong individuals will always put their own standards above any social convention (as they are more willing to withstand the inevitable repression), unfortunately, however, these are an undervalued exception. | ||
