how about just invite me for wcg canada, i will represent u all very well ok?
kekeke v;o lol as cool as that would be it wouldn't be possible. I've been asked by my contact if I can come up with the funds and I've told him I'll see what I can do, but with the whole east coast / west coast issue it's a lot easier said than done.

I would rather a proper WCG be formed. Are there any details in how to get this going at all? I believe there were details of the whole process previously, but I can't seem to find it.
Give us a way, then let us see what and cannot be done. Done, I'm getting all the contact information for all the higher ups of WCG Canada and I'll set up a WCG Canada SC2 sector and I'll be PM'ing a few main people from each city as a city contact within the next few days.
Would love to get in on this!

I can't see why there can be a team there; there are a lot of players who are willing to fly to Korea.
|
So HuK lives in Korea, and Kiwikaki is willing to fly there. Can we slap some Canadian flags on their backpacks and call 'em Team Canada?
|
I dont understand why "WCG Canada" keeps speaking like a single person. WCG Canada is an organization title. If you are on your own and can't shoulder the responsibilities that are called for here, get help. Tons of people have voiced their willingness to help organize sponsors, players, etc. Stop making excuses for why this can't be big.
|
Why don't we hold a "WCG Qualifier" consisting of the Canadian players currently residing in Korea or are willing to pay themselves there, or have their teams cover it.
|
I am trying to see if I can get something organized for this year as well as get a reliable system set up so that it can be properly done for next year and I should have something by the end of this week at the latest. I'll be posting up a new thread once it's ready.

thats so awesome, hope it works out i'd really like to see canada participate

|

Actually, for countries without a national qualifier, WCG offered the possibility of buying a ticket for 200 dollars. They have to pre-approve the submission (no rich bronze player), but it would a good chance for either HuK or Kiwikaki. I don't know if they changed this after some teams protested.

The largest cities left off your list are Quebec and Saskatoon. There is also the matter of no cities listed for New Brunswick, Newfoundland and PEI.

Well the reason I only have those cities listed is because they have an actual CSL team which means there are actual people that are willing to take the time to do team oriented things. What'll most likely happen is I'll get the coordinators from each of those cities to host a LAN event on their own with the top 3 people getting qualified into a West coast / East coast event where we will then host the primary event in like Toronto (East) and Edmonton (West) to get the top people from each coast. Then we would send 2 people from Canada to WCG 2012. This is all just rough planning at the moment until I can get a few more details out of the current committee but I am planning to make sure the West and the East all get their representation unlike how it was done before.
EDIT: Like many of you have mentioned, I am also seeing if I can get a qualifier set up for those who would like to pay for their own trip to WCG Korea. This will also hopefully get out there by the end of this week at the latest and the tournament by the last 2 weeks of September.

WCG Canada SC II 2011
The main reason we can't have someone win a qualifier and have their team pay for the funding is because it isn't fair to those who don't have that kind of funding and it discourages non-progamers to try out. I don't see what else can be done since even if they ran a 64 man $20 dollar tournament they still need around 3000 in funding and that isn't just going to pop up out of nowhere.
WCG Canada SC II 2012
Working on the structure right now. Will be contacting city representatives by the end of this week or early next.

I could get Concordia on-board, but their internet is atrocious.
nope i did. and it went well extremely well. Not like ETS this year.

For organizing the Saskatchewan tournaments your best bet would be to post a thread on http://saskgamers.com/ . That is where the majority of Saskatchewan sc2 players hang out as far as I know and I'm sure some of the people there would be interested in organizing a LAN event for WCG.

In a perfect word we should :
Give HuK the first spot and let's EG care about the cost.
Run a pro tournament with team who can paie for the second spot.
Run a open tournament finance by sc2 fan donation accros the country for the 3th spot.
That's my dream for 2011 ! I know it unlikely if not imposible !
