I feel like this could be good, but anyone going as far as to say that injecting 1 mil into Sc2 would be a bad thing is completely kidding themselves.

This has the potential to be an AMAZING championship. I wish they worked more closely with WCG though and brought it back to prominence :/

I'd also like to know where Australia and NZ fit into this... for the purposes of this tournament are we 'Asia' or are we 'Rest of the World'?

I hope that qualifiers are able to be held somewhere that Aus and NZ players can actually get to without travel costs becoming prohibitive.

I was about to say... australia is kinda missing! also while SEA is considered Asia, we've always really been closer to the SC2 community in Australia and NZ... are we the "rest of the world"? Lol, moonglade, champion of the "rest of the world"

Also, what's cool about this is that not necessarily pro names dominate battle.net. Progamers tend to practice strategies through custom games and mechanics on battle.net, building specific build orders so that they are prepared for a long series of games against a single opponent. Battle.net, on the other hand is more like the team league - one off games where u can pull anything against anyone and have a chance of succeeding. So IMMVP might be the best player in tournaments, but its overall solid play and constant thinking on the feet for National Battle.net Champs.

SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it!

I miss the WC3 b-net tournaments...

Where Blizzard would just announce a format ex. "1on1 Lost Temple" "1on1 orc only Plunder Isle" or similar... then a best of 8 games was played between all who entered and then a ro.16 would be held...

In this way it would be easy to make tournaments for all levels of gamers. "Bronze league tournament tonight at 20:00, map is Metalopolis" Rewards could just be more icons, or just ladder points....

Something like that... It could be incorporated sooo easily!


I just thought of this as I saw the world tourney sc2... :D

I will miss Blizzcon! BUT, I am excited about the fact that there is going to be a tournament out there that lays a crown down for the winner. Having the backing of blizzard will be establish the first legends of Starcraft 2.

We're approaching that 2nd quarter pretty soon. I'd love to hear any new details about this tournament. I heard Sundance talking about MLG and his plans for it being a premier league and being a competition to decide "best in world"and what not, and I realized I've largely forgotten Blizzard's tournament.

I can see it in my dreams now.
Blizzard hosts this event in South Korea
Shortly after the event ends we see a HUGE AMOUNT of top players switch over from Brood War to Starcraft II!

^_^

I really really hope wherever Blizzard decides to host this event they pull out all the stops and promote the shit out of it so that maybe, maybe Korea will understand ESPORTS MATTERS?

This is great news, although the "best" player changes so often in SC2, it will be so hard to crown a real winner.

really excited about WCS quick question though. why do stephano, socke, levin, fenix, killer and comm get direct seeds to the world finals after winning their nationals wheras players who won their nationals in other countries do not get a direct seed? i.e. UK, sweden and poland have arguably better sc2 players than france. yet the french national winner got a direct seed instead of having to participate in the continental finals

one other thing, if stephano has a direct seed after winning the french nationals, why does he even attend the european continental tournament?

thanks very much

I'm also wondering this and can't find any information. I'm going to get tickets to the European finals here in Stockholm and I've heard they will be released tomorrow. I guess Stephano would attend for the prize money? I don't know how the seed system works. Seems a bit odd that some countries gets direct seeds to world finals while Sweden with quite a few top-tier players didn't get any.

Where are all the big name Korean players? Can someone send me the link to the Korean games. When I click on Asia it's mostly players from non Korean countries. Where are MC, MVP, DRG, etc.?

they didn't manage to qualify through the koreans nationals
mvp and mc dropped out of the qualifiers because they forfeited after losing their winners round match to attend IEM cologne

a really interesting question would be: why in hell does NA get 7 seeds and europe/asia only 6?
that makes like now sense at all tbh...
