So...what does a grassroots eSports organization have to do to convince Blizzard into letting them host a regional qualifier?

Sounds amazing. Just wish it didn't have to come at the expense of BlizzCon :/
Oh well, hopefully it'll pay off, especially if it guarantees release of HotS & more importantly D3 this year.

Sounds absolutely amazing, I just hope it doesn't keep the same poor standards we've seen from other blizzard events.

Sounds like they're doing things right. Good job Blizzard.

Looks like 2012 is the last we'll see of WoL in tournaments, 2013 for HoTS.

Hope the map pool turns out nice, and not just shoving ladder maps in our faces.

Coollllllzz.
though i am a bit worried on national champion.

Our national champiion in america: Idra (or huk depending on how u look at it)
Is in korea.

And sweden's: naniwa or sase. is in korea too?

How do those work?



they have teams dont they? they have tons of money in their pockets, just buy a plane ticket if they wanna join.
its not like they are busy in korea. (playing ladder and waiting for next code a quallifiers doesnt count)

and if teams wont send their best players to the biggest tournament this year, well thats their loss.

Wow! That means that we'll see the real potential of Korea too instead of seeing the same few guys over and over?! My mind is blown... GREAT job, Blizzard!

And of course, I hope that Belgium's national hero does well. Feast fighting!!!!!

YES! This is what I was waiting for Blizz to do. They are not obligated to do this; but as the creator, they really should make a big step towards promoting competitive gaming as it will greatly benefit their own starcraft franchise.

I'm going to guess this is non-invitational (at least for national) and anyone can play? Which is awesome.

The cooperative management is the best choice they can make. GOM and MLG (though we don't know who they're co are so much more experienced and

I hope they would have some insane prize pools.

about time someone figures out how to properly grow eSports. Less about media blitz and entertainment and more about competition and growing it from the ground up! Well done!

now if only MLG could follow suite instead of 'inviting' what they see as the top 139 players. Let shit play out.. its about competition and that is the ONLY way we will truly build a sustainable esports model that will last after the media hype crashes.

Anyone have any information on who or how to contact Blizzard regarding the opportunity for other organizations to run their online qualifiers?

Cool, but the entire thing will be a waste if Blizzard can't get their shit together with the map pool.
