We decided to move Israel to the European qualifier, so don't worry, you can play. | ||

I have one concern though: why is this event not a WCS Global event? This question is too complex to answer it in few words, but just think about rules difference (even the most simple thing: citizenship requirement in WESG vs P1 Visa / Green Card being OK for WCS), Global Grand Finals being played after WCS season is over, and so on. It's not just a question of somebody's wish. If WESG was included into some Blizzard & Valve tournament system, there would be a lot of additional headache for organizers I feel. However, I'm not saying that WESG being part of WCS system is impossible in future. We'll see. | ||

It's nice seeing players from this region making it to tourneys. But really i'd rather see anther Korean than someone from here getting 3-0'd in the first round. | ||

Thanks for your explanation it gave me exactly the answer that I was looking for. In so far as the future of WESG: do you guys have any inkling of what kind of success you need in order to have a repeat of this event next year? If there's anything that I can do to contribute to this events success and to get it to happen again in the future, I'd love to lend a hand.

Looking at the qualifiers for China alone, it appears as though there will be a good number of segregated regional qualifiers before the regional LAN which is where the final spots are determined. It's likely there will be SEA/ANZ qualifiers which seed directly into the regional LAN, just like the runner up from the Chinese Regional LAN get's placed into the Asia-Pacific regional. The details are still coming out for this, don't let the "OMG KOREANS ARE GODS" mentality stop you from cheering on your favorite player/nation. | ||

We saw way too many of scetchy tournaments to just jump on a bandwagon. | ||

Probably a lack of understanding of the demographics of esports professionals. If you just look at population alone there's about 1.5 billion people living in those regions. | ||
