Although he has fostered one of the largest fan bases (more people watching Demuslim than MLG the last few days with 12k veiwers each day/night) and is one of the best foreign Terran's, he has been kinda screwed by every tournament so far in America. (hots) Haha that point is so good ^ _ ^ I wonder where Demuslim would be had he stayed in europe, with regular Dremhacks, IEM's etc. to attend. Not to forget the wcs eu seed that he would have had :S Props to him though, i would be in such a negative mood with all this going around, be he seems happier than ever  | ||

I really hope WCS doesn't stop these awesome little individual tournaments. Also gives an incentive for pros to play on their actually accounts and not smurf all day. | ||

Sadly, he said himself (few weeks ago) that he is working on a working visa, so i don't think thats enough.  I must say though, i don't have that good grasp on how Visas and Green cards work in US. | ||

I'm American, so my heart was breaking seeing so many spots for an NA event go to non-NA players. Not to take anything away from how awesome those players are, but I really want to infuse our region's ladder with some much needed enthusiasm. To clarify a point some of you are bringing up : Eligibility is dependent on the player having either citizenship or a permanent residency card (green card or equivalent) for any North America or South America country. Thanks for this. This is what people wanted from localized regional tournaments, something that allowed players from that region to play in. Excluding players like Polt and Demuslim is unfortunate but had to be done. The permanent residency/ citizenship requirement is important as it stops the WCS effect of players moving to a region to play in the tournament, limiting it to the local talent. Plus the player interviews gives background on the players. Canadian players fighting  | ||
