TeamSpeak TL SC2 Open #22 (NA)
Casted by TotalBiscuit and coL.CatZ
TeamSpeak is sponsoring another TL SC2 Open Series again. The first series was a great success and produced some awesome games and provided the backbone for our TSL3 Qualifiers. You may recognize some of the past winners: Nerchio, Kas, Thorzain, White-Ra, HwangSin, and many others. Recently, Korean progamers have been entering, notably ZeNEX and Prime team members. Previous TL Open VODs can be found here.
The last TL Open, #21, was won by  Heart, a Korean progamer from team TSL. He defeated  EG.IdrA in the finals. Check out VODs and replays from that tournament here.

TeamSpeak has also provided us with an official TL TeamSpeak 3 server which has been running since November 2010. You'll see many TL users hanging out there at all hours of the day, and our staff use it as a place to play team games, watch movies, and interact with the TL community. Check it out!

I do not wanna bash someone here, but why is it AGAIN on NA :/
I know the connection is worse from KOR to EU, but you could do at least one from time to time on the EU Server, so European, which do not have access to NA, could play as well.
I hope you consider this.
Anyways GL to all participants

Here's the official statement from TL Teamspeak SC2 Open #18:

From now on, all TL SC2 Opens will take place on the NA server. 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.

Too bad. I was wondering the same and apparently missed that announcement. On the one hand it's cool that there are so many european tournaments for players and spectators to enjoy, but if that's a reason to limit TL Opens to NA only then it makes me sad. I only hope this doesn't apply to future qualifiers for the TSL and that those will be held on alternating servers again.

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.
By which I assume he means will not be held exclusively on NA.
