Only because there are more german players on the ladder? Seems a bit unfair too me, considering sweden and ukraine got more top players than germany. | ||

Maybe it's just because the "established" scenes across the world are so diverse that they can't really release binding world-wide information on anything below the National Qualifiers. | ||

Seems a bit unfair too me, considering sweden and ukraine got more top players than germany. I think it is a matter of the perspective. From Blizzards perspective, Germany is a greater market due to the bigger gaming population (and potential buyer of HOTS), so they cater more to this scene. From the perspective of skill (and amount of full time pro´s), a different distribution like Sweden 4/ Germany and Ukraine 3 seats would be more logical, though. The positive aspect about it is, that the national finals of Sweden, Ukraine and Netherlands (only 1 seat) will be pretty exciting. | ||

I know that nationality-based competition is an old concept from "ordinary" sport but that does not make it less stupid. Even more stupid is the situation, where for a global event, people are divided into two groups: can participate = happens to liven a country chosen by Blizzard, cannot participate = rest of the world. Interestingly, divinding people accroding to what kind of passport they hold, ooks like a big fun to everyone. Would you be so cheerfull if they made a tournament only for white people? | ||

This really did not have to be an interview, it would be enough to present a press release from Blizzard. Otherwise I cannot put my mind around how you managed to be so completely silent about the issue of people that are unable to participate because of their nationality.

You are being kind of unreasonable... So what you say is that we can´t have a world championship because all countrys doesn´t play starcraft? That´s just stupid. Although i see you point and blizzard should at least fix so all the countrys, in for example Europe, who aren´t participating should merge togheter and do an online qualifyer where in it´s turn leads to a biggertournament in the middle of Europe. That way everyone who is willing are allowed to play. Also you´re talking about other countrys being inferior to others? well ofc have you seen GSL? In Code S there is only koreans gamers for the one time exception of one swedish gamer. On the other hand i believe this is a huge step for ESports. This and the recently announced CSL scholarship are going to revolutionate the Starcraft we know today. I can´t wait untill i get to see the outcome of HOTS! EDIT: sorry about my english^^ | ||

Still, mr Rotelli, holding the national finals in Naples got to be the worst decision of this century, seriously do they expect any attendance at all from this? As a premise, I live by the south, but still, Naples is the worst city in the entire country, stained by high criminality rate, garbage dumping problems, poverty and illegal immigrants, with an overall technological advancement deficit compared to the rest of Italy, let alone Europe. (Terrible internet connections, yeah). Not really the best place to hold an esports event, innit? Milan,Rome or even Florence would've been MUCH much better. Funny thing is, Cloud is being forced to go there, even though he expressed multiple times to "dislike" (to put it kindly) southern Italy, being from Miland and all. | ||
