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. | ||

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. | ||

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. 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? | ||

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. | ||
