From what I've been told, I was going to help set up WCG Canada SC but since no plans have been finalized it won't happen.

dude THEYVE HAD YEARS to prepare for this and they still couldnt accomplish anything, ffs even 3rd world countrys are gonna have sc2 reps for wcg... this is so fucking unfathomable

The people who dealt with it before I think have moved-on with their lives. They're older the the general 20-somethings who're invested in the community currently, so someone else -- such as kOre -- has had to pick-up the responsibilities.

Thankfully, with so many people willing to help-out across Canada, we might be able to delegate responsibilities to hold tournaments for individual provinces before the live finals event, too! Sucks for this yea, but things are looking good for next.

This is a fucking disaster. This is simply unacceptable and hopefully a miracle happens where we can somehow hold an online qualifier and send a fucking player.

edit:

pardon my language, but WCG Canada has caused me nothing but stress from many years ago. I hope next year is a turn around.

Its not a surprise to know that WCG Canada wouldnt send a RTS player to the finals this year, but its great news to hear kOre is working towards progressing it for next year.

Its pretty depressing, I really don't understand how WCG works, some random person gets sole rights to do whatever they want and just doesn't give a fuck about SC2?

Hopefully kOre can get shit together for next year but this is very depressing :[.

WCG just doesn't have any budget, only game they are holding so far is league of legends because they have a sponsorship for that game. you guys can QQ all you want, canada has barely "no scene" compared to the US and when they try to contact sponsors, why would sponsors sponsor them when the US is 10times bigger and their finals has more exposure ? The issue here is not WCG Canada, the issue is e-sports in general in canada. I went to WCG canada in 2008 or 9 when they had MLG in toronto in the same convention and the attendance was atrocious.

So there is no way we can raise money to send someone to WCG?

What if they're sponsored by CANADA?

Problem with WCG Canada in those case is Hyping it up.

Hell... do some kind of social marketing, though here if needed and make it go viral.

Kiwi, TT1, HuK even you, + teams + more than 1 games i can tell you, we're looking at a sick potential setup here.

WCG already has a foot in the door and most entrepreneurs that want to start some new events would kill to have a name like that.

This just isn't true. As kore mentioned before, we can raise the money. Even if they couldn't find the sponorship they there should of been more public awareness. No one know what was going on. The problem is now its too late. Back in 2008 and 2009 the starcraft scene even in states was very low compared to what it is now. The blame does fall on WGC Canada. Hopefully, we find someone else to run WGC Canada. Someone that is willing to put in time and effort. Hopefully next year we have a team.

PS- Why can't we still have canada wide tournies? and do a finals in toronto or montreal or vancouver?

I really hope so. There are lots of lan tournies in toronto all the time. Plus toronto was one of first to do barcraft. It would be so awesome to have a canada wide tourny with finals live :D. I think we fan base to pull it off.

the problem is not going there obviously, it's getting the spot.
i bet if you read the WCG rules, you will find something about this.
