He wanted to give up his spot to his teacher so he could play instead. Comm wasn't maliciously trying to trick anyone. The player who had the spot wanted to give it up to help with the problem of bad tournament organization. This is clearly NOT the type of situation the rule was made for. The rules were not made with bad tournament organization in mind. The principles behind why the rule was made do not really apply to the situation at hand, which is the reason why people are irritated. Thus we see the intrinsic problem with rules, they are too ridged sometimes. Whereas they may be made to address one issue, they have an other negative consequences due to their inflexibility and inability to adapt to new situations. | ||

That being said, they need to follow their rules. Allowing an exception here will lead to further rule-breaking in the future. Especially when it comes to smurfing.... otherwise you could lead to future issues For example, a pro could register two smurfs (and no main account), play under both, and then use the one that got further, pretending that the one that did more poorly was a random nobody. | ||

The Hyun fiasco is perhaps the more embarrassing mistake they made. =X | ||

This took 2 weeks before the NASL in December 2012, and they only climaxed at 35,000 viewers at the time. I can't even begin to pull numbers together for the Battle.net World Championships in Shanghai for 2012. | ||

That's your second comment with "didn't get to play" + "lol China ppl who cares about them?!". First of all, they DID get to play, so that's not the issue. The issue is your beloved US tournament was hard limited to 512 players and there were more candidates, so it became "the first who registered got in, the rest - better luck next time", which is a complete joke and has nothing to do with skill in Starcraft or what country you are from. You only hear about these Chinese players because they are famous enough, but you can bet many US players who are not as famous also got snubbed out of the bracket, because they weren't lucky enough to be among the first 512 registered. | ||

 So many things have gone wrong, I hope they seriously look at how poorly this went in order to not make the same mistakes twice. | ||

they could at least have had a restriction to masters players only, or pre-signups for pros / semipros. because in the end, all this is is a qualifier and everyone knows that unknowns won't get to qualify in the end (and yes it's a totally different situation when it's about a direct tournament, where participating makes you proud : who the fuck cares you played a qualifier if you are diamond, this gives you no pride, but the possibility to play in a MLG or whatever other tour shouldn't be exclusive to pros) | ||

Adding to that, each of the 512 players who entered had to pay 20 USD to get in, so how much money did MLG make off of that? 488 x 20... almost a thousand dollars for making a faulty entry mechanism on a website. I can't help but feel slightly ashamed for feeding this troll. Europe is massively larger (skillwise) than the U.S.A. The only way to make everybody happy is to actually revert to the system that WCS 2012 had in place for that year.

I do casting for a Taiwanese-based tournament known as the ASL and if you want to enter, you have to fit one of the following criteria: A) Be GM on the Mainland China server B) Be GM on the SEA server or C) Be a 1000 point master's league player on the Korean server. | ||
