I purposely held from saying anything about small fuck ups from ESL, because i knew that something like 2048 qualifer is almost unheard of.

Also they ran few of them (other were smaller though).

When i saw that MLG had 512 bracket i thought the will run at least few of them, is it not the case? Is it 1 and only? Really?

Just one for the premier division but MLG is doing double elim.

I feel so bad for the chinese players/scene.They have some really talented players and considering there are some half assed amatuers that don't belong in this qualifier just makes this extra sad. MLG should issue some kind of response to this news.

JIM out of WCS, this is unacceptable blizzard. We lost a serious contender there, and also whats up with just one stream casting such a huge bracket. NASL casters could have casted, and some other ones should have as well. So many good games being missed. Hope this is not a sign of things to come.

Don't you mean MLG? They are the ones organization the NA qualifier, not Blizzard.

Axeltoss and Axlav are the permanent MLG sc2 casters. I believe Integra is suggesting they shouldve brought in some of NASL's casters to cast additional games

Looking at the brackets I see two Chinese players, one Protoss called FruitsBasket and another called ZooTop... who are these players. I don't want to assume, but could it be?

We should just boycott WCS and Blizzard events at this point. The WCS Europe qualifiers have been a complete fucking joke up to this point due to the way they've ran their qualifiers and now we have entry into WCS America governed literally by just one 512 man bracket qualifier tournament.

Consider the fact that leagues and players have genuinely been fucked over by Blizzard's plans. Why is ESL, an organisation that has hosted tournaments of sometimes questionable quality around the world, picked over Dreamhack, an organisation that has hosted some of the best produced SC2 tournaments in the world?

And what about WCS America? Imagine how much better it would have been if NASL as well as MLG were producing it? That's right, leave out the only other influential league in favour of an exclusivity deal. And what stake do IPL's former staff have to play in this too?

Oh and what about players like Scarlett who genuinely planned to play in GSL but can't because she was invited to WCS America?


Or... How about not boycotting anything before MLG actually provides a response to this?

I watched EU qualifiers every day I think, and from a spectator's viewpoint they were run very smoothly. What is this "way" they ran it that made it a complete fucking joke?

And Scarlett probably decided herself what to after they offered a seed...

Jeez...
It takes a fool to remain sane.

I didn't get into the WCS either and I qualified last year. I am not sure how that exactly works. I even beat the 2nd place winner Diasuki to go to WCS NA Championship. So it is actually extremely depressing. I also hear that this is the only qualifier atm.

You guys are sassing the ESL (english second language), stressed out guy that his thread is not clear enough for you? Wow.

Anyway, WCS EU and NA have both favored non-asians in choice of who gets casted, and who gets support from the tournament organizers. Its been very stressful for some players.

While this looks like a mistake, at the same time I'm certain it wouldn't have happened if the players affected were white.

I don't understand why these qualifiers have to be squeezed in to such small time frames.

Why not run them over a week or two...?

Wasn't there a WCS China last year? Why aren't they making another one? Unless it's because HotS isn't released in China yet (I have no idea)?

No there was no WCS China but the big finals of the whole WCS were in China.

This is MLG's fault, not Blizzard. Blizzard gave the reigns of the WCS to a a tournament organizer in respective region.
US: MLG
Europe:ESL
Korea:GOM/OGN combo
Somehow, only the US side seems to falter, first with sign up fees and now with this.
