The launch was nine days ago, that's by no means several weeks. Some people are still crying in fetal position because they haven't received their pre-order yet. I can hardly demand a Korean pro-team to have it ready when I tell them to have it. That said, they have it now and are ready to play their matches ^^

While I understand its blizzards fault for fucking everything up with no cross-realm play. At some point you need to draw the line and DQ people who have been given several weeks to find a US account and havent. Its up to them to find a US account, not up to the tournament organizers (you). I'd say make an announcement, give a couple more days and then start DQ'ing people so it can go forward.

The game haven't been out for several weeks.

These qualifiers started in the beta, several weeks ago.

Yes ... how does that relate to them not having the SC2 US release version untill now? Beta was free and you could swap servers when needed, the release version offers no such luxury.

My point was that they knew they needed US versions to play in your tournaments. You knew that you were playing on US servers, and you both knew that blizzard didnt support cross realm play. They had more than enough time to either secure a US copy or find someone who was getting a US copy to allow them to play on it.

That said, I dont necessarily disagree with you giving them some extra time, but at some point you need to start moving forward. If you give players to much room, they will take it an abuse it.

Why not just dip in to the prize pool and buy a US copy of the game for people to use?

I'm sure $60 out of $2600 wouldn't be too sorely missed, especially if it meant the tournament could actually be completed within a reasonable time frame.

I didnt realize this tourney was so big. I should have taken it more seriously.

we were waiting for me to set my account up so that players without a US account could use it. PM me if a US account is unavailable to you and you might need to borrow it.

lets all calm down and play some SC2

What's going on with this tournament? It seems to be extremely far behind in terms of dates. Hopefully things get sorted out soon...

How do you figure that? VOD postings have nothing to do with the current status of the actual tournament gameplay. VODs will be posted as they become available and likewise with the actual games.. They'll be played as the tournament progresses

The tournament is still going strong albeit a bit delayed, I think we did the best we could with the handicaps we had to deal with so I'm pretty happy with it ^^

Now that we have the 4 necessary US accounts we can start rolling out the matches in orderly fashion. So don't worry, just enjoy the matches

Ensnare has already played 2 games and you haven't casted a single one of them? I am appalled! Please do so as soon as possible. Great line up (oGs and Prime players OMG!), great commentators, please make Raelcun cast more, he is by far the most knowledgeable of all and also has a good voice.
