Let people send in replays with a semi-detailed description of the pimp being played, let it be sorted by mods, and have people vote on the best 10 or something. Would create awesome video material, if casted obviously, which is great promotion material, which in turn is good for the sponsor. :D | ||

I'm not sure about sponsored prizes for that, but I think we could afford a fancy T-shirt or a GSL Season ticket. And yes: they'll definitely be out for voting!@Pholon: sure - any team is welcome! You could start a TL-crew-team? | ||

 ). RotterdaM gave us a shoutout during his cast of the Lone Star Clash this weekend, and I've just put up a video about it. I Tweeted it to RotterdaM and got a response right away ![[image loading]](http://s3.amazonaws.com/ragefaces/e251c23f5cfdfdba097d9a7fb1b32803.png) He believes in us! Edit: I've been in contact with some guys from WSquared, they have the ESL Benelux licence. They'd like it if we would use their system / website for the DSCL - that would allow us to use their extended system which allows for user profiles, upload of results & replays by users, and the creation and (self)management of teams. For us that would be great, we could even get a seperate 'portal' on their site, like - for example - this one. However: I don't want that to be the main site for the tournament, I want to have more control over the lay-out and content etc. So there needs to be (preferably) some kind of integration of their site with ours, so that our 'online presence' isn't split up too much. Or maybe that's not such a bad thing? What do you guys think about website-technicalities and the cooperation with ESL in general? | ||

 I'd agree that a mere portal on esl.eu wouldn't suffice, it's probably best to have our own main page somewhere completely within our control. However, partnering up with ESL seems great They have much more impact to offer than our own threads on here and stuff like that, and they have extremely useful partners (casters, technicians, etc). I feel like there would be ways to come to an agreement in which we'd still be using our own site for the main portal. | ||

Poll: Who should be able to participate in the Dutch StarCraft League? Those with a Dutch passport AND those who live in The Netherlands (foreign students, etc.) (76) Anyone at all can join. 'Dutch' in DSCL refers to where the tournament is held, not who can join. (31) All and only those with a Dutch passport (19) Indiviual league: Dutch passport only. Team League: also those who live / work in The Netherlands (8) Other - specify in reply (2) 136 total votes Your vote: Who should be able to participate in the Dutch StarCraft League? (Vote): All and only those with a Dutch passport Personally I think the best option is where you have to be a Dutch Citizen to join the individual league. To me it would be strange if a non-Dutch national won the Dutch StarCraft League. Say, for example, that an Italian exchange student who studies in The Netherlands for one year, enters and wins the tournament. We wouldn't even be able to congratulate him (or her ) in Dutch! This is not about excluding people, but somehow I feel that it would be odd if the Dutch StarCraft League was won by someone who isn't Dutch.However, if teams from universities / companies in The Netherlands want to join in, I see no reason to exclude foreign players from those teams, as long as the majority of the team members is still from the Netherlands, or at least: as long as the company / university is situated in The Netherlands and the team members have a real connection with The Netherlands. This sounds a bit restrictive, but say a team consisting of 8 American Google-employees want to join the tournament (Google has a branche in The Netherlands, but they don't work there). Should they be allowed to join? What should our policy be? | ||

Say, for example, that Feast joins Team Grubby and comes to live in Grubby's Team House (I know that's not going to happen, but it's just an example). Feast would then be eligible for participating in the tournament (and would probably win). What are your views on that? | ||

Like a said, a consequence could very well be that someone who isn't Dutch wins the tournament. I'm not saying I'm necessarily opposed to that, but I'm curious to what you think.

Good to hear. But still: there might be those who get eliminated by non-Dutch competitors. Wouldn't they complain that even though they joined the Dutch StarCraft League they got eliminated by someone who's not Dutch? | ||

So yeah, if a non-dutch citizen is studying in the Netherlands he or she should be able to participate. Also, asking for a passport would mean that we would exclude people under 16 (most of them don't have one) and refugees who sometimes have been in the NL for years but can't get a passport. | ||

It's too bad that people from other universities such as the University of Utrecht can't join, I know that there are quite a few people that would like to join, especially from the beta science departments. | ||
