I suppose it is difficult to make everyone happy without having a national championship first, deciding the top three of each country through tournament instead of through voting. | ||

Which in any case would put Hasu into the pool, since he is one of the strongest and most popular players. Really sad, he is not in the pool. | ||

Well on Sunday the german national championship (EPS) takes place, and Socke, HeroMarine, ShowTime AND Hasu are in it. So at least these 4 players should have been selected for voting. Can't really believe that they didn't even ask him, but if Aonir said it it is the truth (she is hasus girlfriend). Hugely disappointed by this Personally i'll wait for the results of EPS until voting. Find more information on the EPS here: http://www.eslproseries.de/ | ||

Masters, taking down 3 koreans... Showtime, Socke and Heromarine it is for me in this case, but O´Gaming should really think about setting up a second vote with Hasu for the further series, as soon as the other countires votes are finished and there is time for it. | ||

I hope he takes this tournament seriously and doesn't repeat this crap with his EPS forfeit just to get more international e-fame... As soon as there will be some sort of Liquid teamleague messing with his schedule he will probably forfeit his games, while it would be meaningful for other players to represent their country. | ||

The absence of Current National Selector (as you would find in other sports and Disciplines) encouraged us to give the choice to local communities, That now Better their own players. We have contacted single Top Europe player to participate in NationWars, if a Player / county seems missing, it is mainly because of Players Agenda issues. If this edition is a success we will be happy to provide with additionnal editions. National qualification through a Championship would be a clean way to Select the Lineup, we'll definitely consider this option for Future editions, but it was too massive to organize for this first Edition. Thanks for participating in the Votes, we hope you'll have a great time Watching this Show ! Casters wil be announced soon, stay tuned  Nation Wars Admins | ||

I don't understand how HasuObs' agenda was an issue if he wasn't contacted ^^ | ||

Otherwise Tefel would most likely take Poland's third spot instead of Millenium's DieStar and HasuObs would surely be one of Germany's prime candidates. The idea to make such tournament is great but there is already some bad blood due to the system. | ||

According to liquipedia, Tefel and Diestar are going to battle it out in a Bo3, so I don't know why people are still complaining about that. You claim that Poland would have voted Tefel, but can you back this up with some sort of evidence? | ||

So it seems liquipedia knows better than organizers and involved players, all of whom claim that DieStar is official third player in the Polish roster. Yes, I said that it would most likely prefer Tefel after reading Polish forums. Local community which was supposed to be given the choice knows that only in December Tefel beat DieStar 2:0, 3:0 in fan4fan and 2:1 in ESL Pro Series Poland VII. So Tefel is 7:1 vs DieStar in their most recent official matches. Also Tefel (and user who wasn't even on list) made some impact in WCS Europe while DieStar made none. | ||

Well, you seem to be correct about there being no Bo3, the information has been changed on liquipedia now. I can't read French very well, so I couldn't find any information about it on the official web site. This is disappointing. I would much have preferred to have a deciding Bo3 between them, since the vote was practically a draw (just like in the Spanish poll). Luckily it doesn't look like there will be a draw in the German / Ukrainian polls at least. Local communities can and have voted, but not exclusively for their own team. I would imagine though that Polish community cares more about voting for the Polish players than for example the Canadian starcraft community, but if DieStar has gained a lot of popularity and support outside Poland, and his fans have taken the time to vote for him, is that a bad thing? Would you suggest an exclusive poll only open to people with proven Polish citizenship? That seems a bit unpractical to me.  Technical things aside, stating that there is a preference for Tefel in Polish forums is not really, in my opinion, a strong case against the poll that was already done. I'm not saying you are wrong, but that is your opinion and not the result of a second poll or something like that. A second poll when there is a draw (like within the same percentage) could very well be the second best solution (after a deciding match). I fully understand that the organizer couldn't launch national qualification tournaments the first time they organize this. I hope this tournament becomes a huge success and that the next one will have more national teams and national qualifications too. | ||

Yes, I hope that too, there definitely is a place for national tournaments and this one can be pivotal | ||
