EPTBesides if I'm not mistaken he took part in Homestory Cup and if I remember well he speaks english ? It's weird because it's not like he'd lose a lot of money by going to China.

Besides if I'm not mistaken he took part in Homestory Cup and if I remember well he speaks english ? It's weird because it's not like he'd lose a lot of money by going to China. The OP is worded poorly. He says in his statement that most people in China don't speak English, so he will have a problem communicating and finding anything to do during his down time and will be bored. He says there's also no possibility of training, which I don't really understand. Don't they give these guys computers to train/warm-up on before the competition? | ||

Take pride in representing your country like gamers used to do in the past. Stop making it about the money and how you'll actually have to interact and participate before and after the event. Many players would like the chance to experience something like this. WCG is no longer the SC2 tournament where players represent their country and such. (I guess it never was for SC2). WCS has replaced WCG as this type of tournament for SC2, with national qual's, continental finals, etc... The way WCG has declined, I'm not surprised that players are pulling out. | ||

And people fail to realize what WCG actually is; it's the marketing arm of Samsung, and as much as it's a competition, that's always been a competing focus to the digital and commercial convention that it also is. Comparable in a way to what Blizzcon tried to do. Lol are you serious? It's the players fault? No, it's not. Did you not see the poor excuse of a tournament WCG USA was? | ||

WCG has shown only regression; turned from top level competition to a big commercial area with a decreasing prize pool. 2. Does not want to go because they bring people 2 days before the event; you do nothing until your matches and after you're eliminated there is nothing to do because of language barriers (english). 3. Does not think he has a chance to place in the money. 4. Does not see the benefit in just participating in it without winning it. He will be replaced by TurukHappy will be penalized by WCG.

It's not like a player has to go to an event if he doesn't want to. National qualifiers have almost nothing to do with the global finals. Probably exclude him from their future events. Which is not really painful for him, considering WCG isn't really a worthwhile or even prestigious tournament anymore. | ||

Random fact: WCG was almost responsible for the death of Kal (a great bw protoss player) as he fell in a pool and almost drowned. Thank god he didn't die though. Seriously, thank Flash for saving Kal from his horrible death. Flash also used this moment to learn everything about the protoss soul by siphoning it from Kal as his soul was leaveing Kal during the near death moments. Kal would be thankful for his life but it would unfortunately begin the final slump of his career. source: Kal Almost Drowns | ||

Would you fly to China for a minimum of three days all by yourself for a tournament that is barely followed in the foreign scene? You have neither money nor prestige on the line, I can't really blame him for that. The "be proud to represent your country" tournament is for me WCS, Blizz did a good job with that one - well produced, adequate price pool, enough information beforehand etc. Just before this year's WCG circuit started, it wasn't even clear that there would be SC2 included (remember the mobile game only thing?). | ||
