Of course. Europe is a single country after all.
Thats what I thought. Unfair imo, if the US gets 2 teams then Europe should get 2 teams too.

You're getting trolled. | ||

idk, Hynda seemed pretty serious. Maybe I missed the sarcasm. EDIT: On November 09 2011 04:00 Hynda wrote: the decision makin from riots side is just hillariously bad. Instead of just screwing up the American side they now decide to screw everyone else over aswell. While I love CDE as much as everyone else, if I was on in any other team I would be pretty pissed atm. EDIT 2: I knew it! | ||

But I'm not hating, I'm happy for CDE, and they deserve to go to Korea after the shitty treatment by WCG. If this shit had happened with the EU qualifiers, people would have demanded the same. And I'm really happy for Dyrus, the guy was so happy when he though he was going to Korea. I dunno, you're not REALLY happy about going to korea until you're THIS happy about going to korea: | ||

"We screwed this team over, so now we are going to screw you over to try to fix our relations with that team". I don't know if you've played sports on a competative level, but I have and if suddenly one team got a free ride (regardless of which of CDE and Dignitas you feel is getting the free ride) it would be an outrage. | ||

It's not really screwing anyone over unless you are a tried and true patriot. Also, as cited before, WCG has allowed disproportionate numbers of participants from the same country in other events before. The question shouldn't even be "Is this unfair to everyone else?" when the discussion is about what happened to CDE. Riot made the best decision they could to fix an awful blunder by WCG/Marcou. Obviously CDE earned their way though once in what they thought was the official way, and then Dignitas earned theirs in the "rematch". It's not really fair to send one while the other stays in the U.S. If anyone from another country honestly can look at this situation and see U.S. favoritism, they've lost their perspective. Perhaps it's an "advantage for the U.S." in that we have 2 teams, but honestly, I'm not rooting for my country, I'm rooting for CDE. I'm sure it's that way for a lot of people. | ||

That was the bit I was assuming everyone was trolling about. Each EU country that wants one gets their own team. Hence the Germany qualifiers at gamescom or w/e. | ||

EU has 1 team per participating country. I'm not sure how many are participating, but there are confirmed qualified teams for UK, Germany, and France (according to SK-gaming.com news posts). EDIT: Shouldn't Spain have enough strong players to field a competitive team? Did the local WCG organization just not hold a qualifier? | ||

also, fyi because i just read it: the 2 Eu servers are in the exact same place. The split was because of sheer user numbers and not to decrease east EU latency. | ||

Not to get too deep into the whole "Americans are stupid and dont get anything when it comes to Europe" thing, I thought it was pretty obvious that the "Oh ya, since Europe is 1 country, they get one qualifier" was sarcastic. | ||

They didn't. I love CDE I feel I need to state this, over and over. according to the rules they didn't earn it, they just played under false pretences. is it horse-shit that it could happen? Yes, is it a horrible, horrible way of running a tourney, yes. Retroactivly changing the rules, is the worst thing you could possibly to do to keep integrity. And that is what they are doing now. People act as if the way CDE won was ever stated in the rules, and it wasn't. It was just the pay people believed would be the rules, but it was never part of the rules. and saying that Dignitas should have just thrown the game cause they followed the rules is bullshit, learn to play professionally. | ||
