So I think its okay not to take in non reginal players, I mean we also dont let brazil play in europe soccer championship ? Or did I understand the WCS wrong ? There is no WCS China, there is only Korea, NA and EU. Blizzard opened up each region to plays from anywhere, so if you're not European or Korean (many exceptions there) then you're probably going to play in NA. | ||

This thread equally concerns you SEA guys, MLG really needs to address this issue! (still know you from CoH btw  ) | ||

WCS Europe was okay, but I can understand that the frustration about how things are handled around WCS adds up. Much about it feels artificial, forced and/or unprofessional. You do realize that running a tournament is not the same as running a league? | ||

I can already imagine Dreamhack running it. Changing location every week and all the fancy stuff with Hosts and everything, even in the qualifiers. But with all those Dreamhack comments, I am really curious how the qualifiers would have looked. Doubt anyone can beat ESL on that ground though. Well except an ESL with no debts :x . To stay atleast a bit on topic, wish I could see more Chinese players especially without server lag. | ||

WCS is doing an awfully good job at alienating the Chinese fanbase for SC2. | ||

There is no WCS China so chinese players should have been allowed entry to the WCS NA qualifier due to their progamer status. Why let some amateur gamers in diamond or master league enter instead of top GM kr/tw server chinese players? It's absolutely mind boggling that this has occurred! I do like the WCS EU qualifiers though and even though i'm from EU, they have been entertaining. If you were a true starcraft 2 fan then you would want the best professional sc2 gamers to qualify regardless of nationality and sex. | ||

It was supposed to be the first 512 people that signed up would be able to play, but apparently some of the famous pros (koreans) were let in regardless of their signup. Same thing happened to my friend, we signed up virtually the same minute and were both well within the first 512 signups but I was seeded into the bracket and he wasn't. If it's true that these chinese players all signed up in time that's really shitty by MLG. I tried talking to one of the admins about this issue but he told me that none of the admins know anything about seeding and that some of the more known players were let in because 'they may have been invited players'. Seems pretty silly for a supposedly open qualifier. Seems like no one knows what the hell they are doing/supposed to be doing at MLG, so it all went to shit. | ||

I feel for all of the pro gamers who are affected, in China and elsewhere. | ||
