So looks like WCG Canada won't be including SC2, they've announced LoL qualifiers, but that's the only game they have any sponsors for or something? The facebook group doesn't really seem to clear though...
Really disappointing, they've posted on the facebook group basically saying they'd do it but don't have the $$, I don't get it, seems to me there could easily be a volunteer group run the tournaments online, and the cost of sending 2 players for SC2 is much less than a full LoL team?
Yeah, but the sponsor for LoL might be much more confident in finding business with LoL gamers than SC2 gamers. For all we know it could be riot paying those tickets S. Korea, or worse they might have spots in the GF, but will ask players to pay it themselves >_>. Which I doubt, but it has happened with other WCGs in different countries.
You can find sponsors for small LANs and stuff in Toronto or any other major city in Canada, but asking a sponsor to pay a $3000 plus trip to S. Korea is a little different.

The reason they don't pick games that are really hard to win in is because they want to win and at least have something come out of it and have not wasted money on the player. Yeah I know that sounds weird but they are not fans of RTS Games because of competitive it is and most of the time easily knocked out by better players that practice way more since Canadian aren't really the best at RTS games.

Thats not going to change their mind about RTS overall...You'd think they would send a solo player to the Grand Finals, but they dont, they preferred to send the players to the Continental finals. Personally having experience dealing with this, I can assure you that Canadian WCG is very lackluster, and cares very, very little for RTS.
Also, if you think a Canadian will win WCG Grand Finals, or even place in the top 3, aside from HuK, I feel sorry for how naive you are.

A WCG team league would be interesting.
Canada has a pretty good lineup even without huk . Kiwi, slush, fayth, Ddoro, optikiczero, TT1, comb-
Still a shame though

Sending any single team is a long shot for any game... And while Canadians would be a big underdog, if you get HuK to compete he will definitely be one of the best players going, and then there's definitely a range of Canadian players that are competitive as well.

Pretty sure Team Canada could take on Team USA just saying.

Pretty sure as well. A lot of the Canadian players are phenomenal!

Stop arguing saying who's better and all that stuff.
WCG Canada is something under discussion right now and the main issue is getting a main sponsor for this. I'm contacting a few companies to see if we can do a joint op with StarCraftMecca.

What do you guys think about doing an online SC2 Canada event where the top 2 go to Korea for WCG finals?

That'd be fantastic if you could raise the funds.
