You are lightning fast Lovedrop!

This is pretty damned amazing - So this is why there is no Blizzcon this year ^^

I don't like dividing the fan base so heavily over geography -- what happens if one of the "accommodated" non-citizens ends up winning a qualifier?

It's more fun and entertaining to watch everyone competing on a global level.

Ah, so much love for the community. So, I'm feeling like it's completely fine that there is no BlizzCon. I'm way more excited about this! I wonder if part of the initiative to introduce more tournament maps to the ladder pool is part of this.

Going to be great to see a StarCraft 2 Olympics! YA!

This can't be right. Everyone says Blizzard doesn't do anything for the community and is only looking out for their bottom line...but they've answered the call and given us a worthy replacement for WCG.

This is going to be great. Though with all the great foreigners like Stephano, Thorzain, Naniwa, Sase, and White-Ra being from America we're going to have probably the toughest qualifying tournament.

It's a Blizzard hosted tournament... i highly doubt they would use non blizzard maps in the tournament. (This of course is probably going to be twoards the end of the year so there will be alot more ladder maps)

Also, alot more tournament maps are being included in the ladder pool, i don't really have a problem with the ladder map pool right now, and it's only going to get better as they add more tournament maps.

I know, Cloud Kingdom, Antiga Shipyard, and Daybreak are such terrible maps. We need to be using things like Dual Sight. Now THAT'S a tournament-quality map.

Cool, sounds like old school WCG in a way. Looking forward to this!

Probably historians and geographers, but I get your point.

But hell, do you feel bad for players in platinum and diamond that can't beat GM players? If you're not good enough, or not going to put in as much effort as the best players, you don't deserve to be better than them. Everyone will have to play the Koreans eventually.

Don't worry, at least it's not as bad as Blizzcon last year with Blistering Sands and Shattered Temple close by ground spawns

why not call it battlecon? I like the national qualifiers but i would like to see a different number of slot per region depending on skill.

What are National Qualifiers?
National Qualifiers are events, both live and online, that have been awarded slots that feed into a National Championship. Winners of National Qualifiers will receive an invitation, including travel expenses, to attend their National Championship. Some events will have Nationals slots added to their prize pool; others will be complete standalone events. More information about where to sign up for your country’s National Qualifiers will be made available soon!

This is so sick.

I wonder how they're determining residency.

All in all this seems like a pretty hamfisted way of getting some foreigners into a later stage of an international tournament.
do you have enough resolve, hero of justice?
