Germany has pretty draconian laws regarding video-games and age-restrictions, hopefully it will be contained to that area. | ||

I am a little confused that InSur from iS didn't get picked seeing as he got 3rd at the US Nationals and got 5/6th at the NA Nationals to qualify for the World championship placing 17-24th... | ||

It hasnt anything to do with "laws" regarding video-games or age-restrictions. It has more to do with working laws etc. and the fact that a tournament could easily go beyond 10 PM which isnt allowed for juveniles under the age of 16 to "work" that long. | ||

Also Lowely missing from EU is a travesty. He has every possible qualification to get in. Feast probably should be in there but most of his recent success has come from tournaments that Blizzard probably didn't look at (ATC, etc.). | ||

Fair enough, but isn't the absence of gaming cafes in Germany due to age restriction? I would call that pretty heavy handed.. | ||

No, I am not talking about the top-heavy distribution, that has been talked to death and clearly I am not the only one having objections against that. It's that players who start in Code S, lose three series in the row and drop straight out of the league get more money (300€) than a player who starts in Code A and advances to Code S (0€). That just doesn't sound very fair to me. In an environment where some players start ahead of others and players advance or fall back due to their performance, the only natural way for me to distribute the money would be according to when a player was eliminated. This way, if we keep the current prize pool distribution, not the players who start at Code A won't à priori go out empty-handed, but the players who are eliminated in the first round of Code A (some of them possibly from Code S). | ||
