I can't believe there isn't more understanding for this. In order to warrant such a tournament with these prizes we have to be able to deliver the very best quality of games. Sponsors are not going to be happy with TSL #2 if we had to kick many players from the final tournament, having huge delays on broadcasts, and a lot of complaining from every non-lagging player around. These decision has been made in your best interest so that we think we will be able to continue finding sponsors for events like this.

Just curious though; Russian and even Australian folk are known to have lag issues sometimes so what happens if you are in an important game and it becomes unbearably laggy? Will the rep be saved and commented on later?

Isn't ICCup server located in Russia?
Btw I think the organizers should be careful with connection problem when there's player from Australia too I'm in Australia, never have any tiniest issue with BatteNET but ICCup is really laggy sometimes.

eh I'm ambivalent about this, reason I don't fully support this decision is many top pros have proxies which work fine with euroamerican connections.

yea.. you forget that the top tier chinese players that would most likely qualify all have proxies that which enable them to play in a perfectly non-laggy game with europe/american players

starcraft using peer-2-peer protocol, so your ingame lag doesn't depend on the server you are playing on, but on your connection to the person you are playing with

hey unk I have the same problem. I can play perfectly fine with chaoslauncher on low latency on west server, but I cannot play on low lat on iccup server, even vs same player....I really think there is something restricting full speed on my computer with iccup server....because when I first create or join game, game plays out fine on low lat, but after a minute or two, it becomes too laggy for low lat, so i gotta change to extra high lat. after 15 ~20 minutes, it becomes way too laggy that it frustrates everyone, and i cant change to the battlenet extra high lat...... solutions?!?!?!

I support doing what the league has to do to keep things running smooth, but It seems like this should be done on a case by case basis. To deny an entire country entrance because many of them lag seems really heavy handed. Other solutions should probably be considered.

Each chinese person who qualifies for the playoffs can simply join a game with a few people to make sure their connection works well. If not, they're out.

TSL Staff:

Will Chinese players be able to play if they use proxies from outside mainland China. Most Chinese pros use Hong Kong proxies which work fine with Europe and America.

Doing it on a case by case basis, for a country like China, is virtually impossible....

More than just impossible, it's unfair towards the player. Think about it, PJ spends three weeks of non-stop iccuping just to find out that his connection isn't fast enough. That would really suck. Rather have the ban outright and early on in the league than have the ban at a later stage once they've already invested effort into the tournament.

As for the chinese proxies thing, we are looking into it, and remember, this will not be the last TSL. If we find a workable solution we will need to test it first, but it does mean that there's a good likelihood of Chinese players being allowed to play next season.

I think this rule and the discision to make such a rule shouldn't be open for discussion. Post it as news. this is how it is, theres nothing to do with it.

What if they said: its only for americans. then no one would complain right? this is about money.. dont act like its all friends or so. this is business.

tl.net set the standards: no lag, because it causes divserse problems, like nazgul told us.

side-note it is unfortunate for those who have good connection, but thats the way life is. i bet there are alot of chinese tours, or asia tours which we dont even know about.

Yeah, the decision should be final. If there is any discussion then it should be for the 2nd TSL. It's not fair for both sides. It wouldn't be fair when half way through the tournament, it is decided that Chinese IP can now play. Not only would they be significantly behind, but there would be even more reason to complain and add unnecessary drama to TSL.
