However, if the finals are LAN and you expect the teams in the finals who don't have sponsors to pay to have their players flown out, you've got another guest coming because thats not going to happen. Making people pay and not telling them if they will be flown out for finals or not or finals being LAN or Online is just fucking stupid. | ||

We have always been more than willing to work with teams coming to LAN finals in all other games. So if we decide to have a LAN finals we will do the same for the SC2 teams. If any of you remember WC3L - NA teams played in the league and their LAN Finals was in Europe every year. | ||

and for something that has a $5000 prize pool, you'd think you guys would have put some effort into the OP. | ||

The difference was with WC3L the teams KNEW there was a LAN Finals and could work it into the budget. | ||

If any of you remember WC3L - NA teams played in the league and their LAN Finals was in Europe every year. The point is not that WC3L had LAN finals or not, it is that "hey we might have LAN finals, we might not, we're not sure yet... and we might be able to help teams out with travel if there's a LAN final but we're not sure yet" attitude. As such a big organization, I don't really understand why you were so quick to announce a league when you were really so unsure of some really crucial details. It seems like incredibly bad form / unprofessional to have such important details still unknown after the league has been announced for several weeks already, these are things that are usually figured out before making big announcements. | ||

A big organization has to calculate everything for the year to plan budgets for events, prize money etc.. And since this is the new year it takes some time for everything to come together, it is unfortunate that the news takes a while to get here. Introducing a new game to the organization takes careful planning to not seem "unprofessional". After talking with the big cheeses we have decided to make this season an online finals until ESEA introduces an invite decision with in the next coming seasons. | ||

There are many factors involved when planning out a LAN Finals and some of them, like sponsors, can take time to come through. We like to leave the options open because when they do come through they help everyone, especially the players. All the players are always taken care of who make it to all the previous LAN Finals we have hosted. | ||
