Isnt reminding players as well as signing them up a managers responsibility? I always see Xeris from Light asking if Golden and Kawaii are registered because he signs them up. Clearly bigger teams also have people who do this right? or at least they should have someone because obviously players cant handle it themselves. I think this is just pure hating on IPL they announced when they planned their qualifiers, they cant adjust to all schedules. We have seen tourneys overlap before not a big deal. | ||

Clearly players needed more reminding. This thread here is more for casuals and viewers and not the pros attending I think. You can expect that the big teams will know of these schedules. IPL is not really to blame here. I don't even know if the cooperation of WCS Canada with NASL has been annouced when IPL made their schedule, it is unfortunate but such things happen Edit: I just looked at the NASL site and it seems that they annouced their dates one day after IPL. | ||

But having your NA qualifier as the same time as WCS Canada? You're excluding a large chunk of NA players! | ||

But having your NA qualifier as the same time as WCS Canada? You're excluding a large chunk of NA players! It's understandable that the dates conflicted with WCS because NASL didn't announce WCS Canada until later, but IPL needs to be flexible about this. Besides which, there are other ways to run a qualifiers than squeezing it all in one weekend and making it a one shot. Staggering the quals into different weekends - ala TSL 4 - is the best way to get maximum coverage from players. They have EIGHT spots to fill, and just taking the top 8 from one qualifier and having that qualifier happen during NASL and WCS Canada is ridiculous. You're going to get a lot of people who don't have the skills to be there this way - just because the pros are playing elsewhere. | ||

Hmm, I don't think progamers learn about this from TL posts, they should've been told by their team managers a long time ago, so the date of this thread is kinda irrelevant. The only Satellite excluding half of the decent players due to scheduling is unlucky, even if the dates were announced beforehand, no one will drop out of WCS for this, so it's just a sign of bad scheduling to begin with to play qualifiers on week-ends and of a bad format if that's your only qualifier so you can only pray everyone is able to attend. If you want the best players at your events, you should have been flexible about it. If you don't, I guess it's fine, but you have to accept that a lot of people will give you shit. Nothing will change if the tournaments don't work together on their event scheduling and this won't happen as long as all the big NA tournaments are trying to establish themselves as the clear No. 1 event in North America and actively work against the competing leagues. It's not like MLG for example is any better, their qualifiers conflicted with WCS and other things as well, just the outcry wasn't as big because no EG players were affected. | ||

Presumably, EG's player manager Evoli took note of the dates when they were first announced. Also, the IPL guys say that they've been keeping the various team managers informed about the various qualifiers as they approached. Edit: Corrected spelling. | ||

MLG has their schedule, NASL has their schedule, and we have ours. It's unfortunate that busy players can't play in everything, but on the other side of the coin, some new or unexpected players may be able to see some success. We are grateful that IdrA and yourself would like to participate in this Satellite, but StarCraft tournaments are a very busy space right now. It does create the question why not more tournaments run their qualifiers on weekdays like TSL has done. | ||
