My team Check-Six Gaming (www.check6gaming.com) has multiple players from different games but only 1 starcraft player (Me) right now. In the future we are going to pick up more SC2 players but I don't think its very fair that I am not allowed to apply when I am clearly on a legitimate team with sponsors. Please let me know, thank you! No offense... but I've specifically responded to you before. You've never contacted me personally, you haven't even submitted an application yet, not sure where you get the idea that you're not allowed to apply. | ||

I think you should extend that to at least a week. ya, 2 days DOES seem a bit quick however, i players/teams should have the money ready... it's not like they DON'T know about currently.... | ||

I've seen this question be asked a few times but haven't seen an answer, and it seems very important to know if the top teams in the world have been given equal footing to compete (as some of the past comments made made this league feel like it was rather anti-Korean). I don't think they would want another IEM. Back to topic, $250 refundable is fine, but make sure they won't use this money to invest (for example: stock) for profit. | ||

=D! ofc. Koreans were not directly invited, mostly just because I have no contacts with them. My msn is on almost 24/7 though =P | ||

Back to topic, $250 refundable is fine, but make sure they won't use this money to invest (for example: stock) for profit. Actually, I would hope that they are investing it. Not in stocks, but in the same manner that your security deposit gets invested when you rent an apartment. This is common practice a lot of places, and is even the law in some places. They haven't mentioned anything like this, though. I hope they're doing it, though, even if they are not subject to by law, just because it's the professional thing to do. If a gaming team gives up $1250 for months on end, that's a fair chunk of change that they could have invested. | ||

they refuse to allow sc2 to speak for itself as a draw, instead relying on 'drama' or similar such crap | ||

They can easily apply by the specified upcoming deadlines, as long as they know exactly what to do and who to contact themselves. And the Korea vs the West "storyline" had so much potential, as that seems to be what you're looking for... But I guess you're all tired of years of getting completely raped at WCG, if you've been around the scene anyways. Still, the mechanical skill ceiling gives foreigners much better chances, as does the latency  and the fact that most of the talent is still in BW. NASL, to find the champion of the world™ (outside of Korea)! | ||

It's a lot better to decide who gets in based on consistency and success in the past. We want to see the big names who we've seen in tournaments in the past duke it out. It's not like Destiny is going to get a slot just because he's so damn popular... Results speak for themselves. Drama is part of sports and entertainment. If Esports is to grow in the West, it has to appeal to the casual audience who isn't a Starcraft junkie but enjoys watching and has favorite players, learns their backstories, etc. What difference does it make to you? The games will be just as good, and maybe if you can get your head out of your ass you'll realize that the way they're running this is the best thing for Esports in the West. | ||
