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. It doesnt help when WCG Canada gives nothing to the players, no incentive, and ignores everyone in the scene that doesnt live in toronto or Montreal. WCG has been a disaster for years now, unorganized, poorly run, corrupt, one can literally not say enough bad things about it. If i was a sponsor I probably wouldnt even make it past reviewing recent events or management practices before I gave up entire on wasting my money. I went to WCG finals for wc3 a few years back, and had such a poor overall experience that when I qualified for the next 5 years running I never even considered returning. IMO its pretty hard to have a 'scene' when you tell players, 'you will be paying 500-800$ per person to come to montreal because we hate western canada, upon arrival you will be given extremely vague event details, nowhere to practice or directions of any kind to help you in that regard, our schedules will be entirely wrong by over 8-10hours and you will play on old unreliable equipment. Sure creates a wonderful environment. The only way it will ever be viable is if the entire management is overhauled and someone is in a position that gives a damn. | ||

I'll ask my contact about it and I honestly don't see why that wouldn't be allowed seeing as how there aren't plans to send anyone already. What if 100 people want to pay their own way?? | ||

My thoughts exactly (minus the part where he went to WCG finals). I'll be looking to solve these problems especially the Western / Eastern Canada issue. | ||

He hasn't made it to the national qualifer yet, but there are still 2 more qualifier tournaments to see if he can make it. | ||

Cause WCG requires WCG Canada to pay them 100 000 dollars. So players won't be able to go there by their own. It's a shame i know. I heard WCG Canada has been sold recently to new guys and they haven't had the time to find the sponsors and stuff so probably next year. | ||

Also, for those who want to send themselves, we can't do that as well because it's already been finalized that there won't be any attendees from Canada for SC2. That's everything for now, for all those who PMed me to help out with WCG 2012 thanks and I'll get back to you all once the plans I have set now get in motion. I'll be looking to the main people who run the scenes in their city to help out in the future. | ||

To be a WCG Strategic Partner (SP is what they call National Organizers), you need to follow a set of rules, such as promoting Samsung, running a year long program and of course, paying WCG a % of your revenues. The % is said to be around 10%. The old Organizer, Cybersports Entertainment, is no longer in charge of the Canadian Program. The name of the new organizer has not been announced although it is also possible that nobody has been picked yet, nobody knows, not even Samsung Canada. | ||
