I'm winning the same prize for getting people to vote for a picture I uploaded, much easier if you ask me. Overall, WCG's online prizes are fewer and shittier when compared to last year. | ||

It makes perfect sense that the countries to which they can send the prize money is a limited list. And even if it's not obvious (to us) why some countries are excluded, Blizzard most likely has good reasons for each one. Does anyone honestly think they are keeping countries off the list just to be evil? Well, apparently Physician does. The way he rants about this is particularly dumb. Example: You all know that {me <3 Blizzard} & Starcraft4Life, but sometimes, they deserve a good bashing. For what? For doing something that has a perfectly good explanation that any sane person can see? Jeezus, I'd hate to be Physician's wife. I'd come home from work an hour late because of an accident on the highway, and discover that he flipped out and told everyone I'm a cheating slut. | ||

Other countries buy their products. Prizes of about $1000 are peanuts to them. Also, if the competition was held in jurisdictions that speak languages other than English, they'll have to prepare the rules and everything for that language. | ||

Do you honestly think someone at Blizzard just hates Quebec and thus they can't participate or something? | ||

For instance Quebec radio stations MUST play a certain (large) percentage of music from quebec, stores are allowed to have a sign in english if they have a bigger french one, then there was that whole thing about video games that HAD to have french instruction booklets even though it was just one crazy bitch in politics that never played a game in her life that wanted this to happen. i agree , quebec is a awsome place for metal but the politics are rather stupid | ||
