Will future TLOpens be used as qualification for TSL4? If so, it blows for EU players to be at a permanent disadvantage when trying to get into TSL4.
And will TSL4 favor NA players aswell? It makes little sense to favor one group in the qualifications but not in the main tournament.
No, if and when we have TSL4 the qualifiers will not all be held on NA.

So that means that EU can expect the TL Open to return to EU every other week when the TSL4 qualifiers begin?
Also, could I cast this TL Open in Spanish?

I feel due to face a korean in first round this time. I always face top 200 players and sice ,GM only GM players in the first round and always lose pretty badly. I'm pretty sure I'll face Polt or MKP this time.

I like how they will only be held on na now as before i couldnt participate cause i had my schedule synced with the eu tlopens

24 Koreans signed up atm. Probably more to come. 0.o

We previous stated that we'd alternate servers, but we feel that several factors favor holding it on NA. First, we like consistency, and players wondering each week whether the server is NA or EU (and wondering what time the tournament starts) is not good for the tournament. Second, with the added interest from the Korean server, we want to allow all players an opportunity to play (EU-KR is impossible due to lag). Lastly, and probably most importantly, we receive a lot more signups when we hold the tournament on NA, possibly due to the already large number of weekly tournaments held on EU. In addition, it seems that when we hold it on EU there are a large number of players playing two tournaments or having conflicting commitments. We apologize to our EU members who want to play in a TL Open, but we hope you guys understand our decision.
I was looking forward to the TL Open and am quite disappointed by this decision. I can fully understand the majority of the reasoning but the last point does not make that much sense to me.
From my knowledge the last EU TLOpen was on February 19 and was a TSL3 Qualifier. That means that any knowledge you have is quite old and can quite likely be outdated. That makes me feel that it would have been better to hold one more TL Open on EU to see if your knowledge would still be accurate and if so at that time make the decision.

I signed up in the hope I get to have the honour of getting owned by a Korean pro in the first round, I hope the tourney is still ok for noobs like myself to play in!

Wow, roughly double the amount of signups compared to TLOpen #16 and #17.
Guess everyone wants to play one of the Koreans. (32 signed up, from SlayerS, Zenex, Prime and some teamless ones).
