Though the winner can pay their own way.... That's dumb... what's the point of these qualifiers then. Sucks for people who put in the time into these events and even more so to the people who qualified. Hope something changes for you all, good luck.
yeah ive played every SC2 event, currently still fighting in the last chance #1. ive qualified and played in the national finals for other games for the past 5 years, and this is a sign that WCG could be on a massive decline to where we eventually wont have one.
though i like how they waited till the qualifiers are mostly done to announce something like this. i wonder how many players actually care now. Do we even have prizes other than that pan am thing now? like cash for 1st/2nd/3rd.

Can anyone help me get in touch with folks at WCG USA?
I want to know if I host the tournament if the results of it would be considered legitimate? I can 100% offer a location ~

I'll poke some people. I may have talked to them before about maps, I just don't remember so I'll look through some emails too.
Info sent

Guys, there are bigger things in play here that cannot be mentioned in public.
There are alot of countries who are being forced to pull out or cancel their programs.
We did not wait to the last minute on purpose - the money got pulled at the last minute
I also have a location with systems and internet, but its not enough.

If the winners will go to WCG Pan Am, and also have the option of going to the WCG World Finals if they pay their way...
Why can't we host a LAN event for the Top 8 rather than playing it online. If it's nothing out of WCG's pocket, we can / should do it.

If you want to push forward with it , ping me and I can try to get it pushed through.

Wow, if that happens, just another reason why Xeris is no. 1

im in channel WCG waiting for my opponet
|
well wcgusa is the official channel so probably best to use that instead
|
|
|
oh weird I guess since I was in the first last chance I'm not in this one?
<- sad face
|
do people not care about this anymore cuz of the change wcg did, or do they just not know about the last chance qualifiers. all my matches so far they haven't showed up >< really need to add character codes to the site so we can at least check if people are online.
|
Well I think a combination of factors is leading to a failing interest in wcg usa,
no official US finals,
no starcraft2 usa finalist to grand finals
^biggest two things
horrible coverage of qualifiers, out of 8 qualifiers only 3 finals were streamed I believe
complete disorganization/hard to contact admins, (I got msgs from so many people simply not knowing where to go or who to turn to talk to when support tickets weren't responded to quickly)
bad schedules/times next to impossible to contact refs,
and the best results coverage is a player run thread on TL
I could probably go on as to why people aren't showing up anymore.

Huk, if possible, I would like to speak to YOU about rescheduling.
I am not too fond of your manager.
I'm sure everyone on TeamLiquid and Reddit would love to hear the story of how you forfeited the best player in North America out of an online WCG qualifier. Really classy move.
Even though I followed the rules, I would still love to play the best player in North America.
|
the same rules apply to huk as to everyone else. If you can't make a match and make no effort to get in touch with an opponent and dont show at the scheduled time your subject to getting walkovered. its simple.
pretty comical they're trying to make you look like the bad guy for simply following rules. lol.

If you want to play him, then why did you submit a forfeit win? We've been emailing you all day, and you obviously received the emails because you've been replying.
You submitted the forfeit win request out of the blue, while in the middle of email communication with us.
If you want to play him, then why would you do that?
