Gotz tons of Chinese friends and I'm going to China next summer, but they've got some mad issues to get over. It's actually quite prudent for them to think far enough a head to cancel an ANIME convention in a MAJOR CITY. I'd like to think of the Chinese organizers and ESL as pretty damn responsible for taking the hits and protecting the players instead of just going on with it in some smaller way. Kudos to them! | ||

If I recall correctly no Japanese player has qualified for it, and it is going to be an event hosted by Blizzard. There's not really all too much that can go wrong unless Blizzard wants to make a political stand, but otherwise I am not sure how the WCS will be affected. | ||

If you had read the thread you'd know this only got cancelled because it was held at an Anime Comics and Games convention and thus there were a crap ton of Japanese going to it. WCS on the other hand might have a few Japanese spectators, if at all. | ||

What about postponing the event for a few weeks? Even if the production isn't epic as planned, I'm sure the audience will stow away their pitchforks under such circumstances. FXO's mc-mansion in Malaysia is big enough to host the SC2 portion (omg pool-side tourney!), especially with their uber fios connection and all. :p | ||

This is actually a pretty important thing, and probably get even more important as the time comes. There is a simple fact: China has money. And nother one: China does not answer to anyone. Many people tend to overlook the later because of the temptation of the former. I can see it even in academia, you hear it here and there - let's go to China with the project, they have money to fund it ... yes, they do, but you have no guarantee of anything when you start fiddling with China. So in the end, it's up to anyone: do we follow the glittering of the gold, or the common sense? I am not saying that you can't make good business with China. But surely as hell you have to be ready a surprise or two along the way. | ||
