EPTAlso 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?

They are the ones organization the NA qualifier, not Blizzard. | ||

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... | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
