I'm just glad they remembered there are other countries besides "America" in America...

Anyway, I hope Huk takes it. And Minigun beats Idra.

Genna stated herself the requirement is based on citizenship and permanent residence. The only way to obtain permanent residence in these United States if you're not a natural born citizen, is via Green card. Not much to argue about. Work visas are temporary residence cards.

in the united states, social security cards are given only to citizens, and having a driver's license does not necessarily signify that you are a lawful permanent resident. using these as proof to attach internet handles and real names is also tricky.

at any case what I am getting at is you are calling for some serious personally identifiable information from people, and I am hoping that you take great care with it.

The questions being asked pertains to certain interest no? That usually is the case with questions, you want to know the answer.

I don't think anyone thinks this initiative is bad in any way but some information were left out and some of us wanted to know the specifics in certain areas.
I personally dropped the subject since it isn't relevant to me since I can't compete (nor am I good enough) and in the end I trust Genna and John to do a great job, but my interest in the answers is still there just not important enough to harass them with.

While you have a point, keep in mind the amount of points awarded is easily regulated, in that they could just give out a very small, but still somewhat significant amount. Also, it's a bit of an exaggeration on your part to compare a tournament that allows players from *two continents* to a tournament that only allows the citizens of one country.

First it is not *two continents* but 1... look at an olympic flag and count the rings...

Second, the 'Francophone' tournament seems not to be contry-based but language based... their qualification bracket include a player that is playing under the taiwanese flag... so presumably the only criteria is to speak frnech, which cover quite a few people, in all 5 continents... but nevertheless that is irrelevant: point to WCS should not be awarded to closed tournament. they should be awarded on merit in an open, top-level competition.

As for DeMuslim : He is a British citizen isn't he ? and there are many British Territories in the region covered by the tournament rules, including for instance the Falklands Island... so DeMuslim de facto meet the citizenship requirement since he hold a citizenship of one of the territories covered.

TB was good enough to reach out prior to our announcement I believe. I have a lot of remorse over Demu not being able to participate in my event, but that's not to say I won't eventually hold something like this for EU-only players. There are also some NA players who do not actually play on the NA ladder, like HuK... although he says he will be back on NA ladder soon.

Wish I could save all of esports, but I'm afraid I have to take these things one at a time....
