However, I have no idea who my opponent is, and the chat channel in SC2 is pretty dead. Any ideas? The tournament is set to start at 6pm i will have a couple administrators in the chat before then also the tournament will be seeded about 10 minutes prior to the start and you will be able to find your opponent here http://gamebattles.majorleaguegaming.com/pc/starcraft-ii-wings-of-liberty/tournament/free-hots-1v1-showdown-4/bracket | ||

New expansion and everything and you guys show your true colors. *Can't we just have dual America+Canadian events?

I am just curious.. no offense, but how is MLG/GameBattles 'new' to running events? These sorts of tournament/league module features and functions should be standard. You are better off running these on the www.challonge.com website for now until these basic features/functions can be implemented. I'm just a bit baffled by the fact that GameBattles has been around for more then 7 years and has been running tournaments for various games for just as long and there is something more difficult about running a basic single elimination bracket for SC2. Sorry if I sound like I am ranting a bit. We need GB to succeed in eSports and for too long it has been ignored by the devs. John Clark | ||

We do have somethings we need to do to make our process simpler and will be working diligently with the community to do just that. I don't see it as a rant but as a forum for suggestions. | ||

There doesn't seem to be any indication here or on your site that these events are region locked until after you've created accounts and started the sign-up process. Yes sir that is we can get done. | ||

As of now, it is only listed in the Rules, as to which countries are eligible. We are also working on allowing people outside the US to enter these OLTs. We should have more information soon. | ||
