Man, I wish I could help manage these players and team, it sucks so hard to lose out on opportunity over misreading the terms or shitty bad luck through issues with registering/communication (as they had with MLG).

Come on now. If you were so confident about their abilities, you would have tried to qualify for WCS KR like Swim did.
Yeah, they could have just taken the train over the the qualifiers like all the Koreans did, pay a couple bucks... Wait, no, that's not true at all.

Regardless of the organizations/persons/circumstances to blame, it is unfortunate for those Chinese players. I wish them best of luck in the future. I hope none of this happens again. I really want to see the Chinese SC2 scene flourish.
China fighting!

Blizzard is more to blame than MLG from what I understand, but it's true that MlG fucked up with this qualifier in general.

A public apology full of fluff and of no actual substance, that provided no new information regarding what went wrong or how they'll attempt to mitigate the damage already done. I honestly don't understand how any rational individual can look at that supposed apology and see it as anything more than a bunch of cookie-cutter nonspecific drivel that companies release all the time when they dun goof.

Well it is good of him to finally accept fault for his players not registering ASAP but it's really passive aggressive to say things like "This interview is not to bash MLG; we hope all tournaments could be more professional and mature" and I laugh at assertions of "deserved tournament rights".

It's also kinda sad he feels running down other players (saying the Chinese "have superior results and notability") to make his argument. Personally I'm not so sure winning WCS China 2012 is more impressive than say, just making GSL Code A.

The Chinese players/teams aren't blameless either. In the end couple Chinese players should be really upset.

However, "Chinese players are even more hard-working than Koreans".
Come on now. If you were so confident about their abilities, you would have tried to qualify for WCS KR like Swim did.

Living in Korea to play Code B and Code A(if qualified) for a long time costs a lot of money, while the situation of Chinese scene is not good, Chinese teams have no interest in sending players to Korea, they would rather put these money to LoL and Dota.

In fact, there are only 3 SC2 teams in China now:iG,WE and Zoo. However, WE focusing on LoL now and only has 2 SC2 players(LoveCD and Loner), Zoo is a half-amateur team running by former progamer LoveTT, only iG is in a stable situation, but the team is also focusing on Dota2 and LoL, the only reason iG still run SC2 team is the coach Edison's efforts.


I dont know why you mention Swim here, maybe you misunderstand him as Taiwanese. Swim is a Korean played for Wayi Spider Korea before and now playing for Samsung Khan after Wayi Spider disbanded.

Sorry, forgot sarcasm doesn't work in text. You're completely right obviously. The situation itself is shameless, but the way MLG reacted after is really scary.

Can someone tell me why HoTs is still not released in China ? It's available in all the continents already. So what's the matter with that ?

Very interesting interview. This whole ordeal is a big shame, I would have loved to see Chinese players compete in the WCS. Hopefully their situation will improve for the second season, but that doesn't make it suck less right now.

Usually the community drama passes me by barely being noticed.

However, this time I am truly saddened. Just think about all the effort and hard work from the Chinese players just to not even have a chance... You can barely compare eastern and western work ethics and iG additionally has to struggle against all odds while many NA casuals could participate simply for the sake of it.

A reminder that life often is not fair.

What went wrong? The manager just told you what went wrong. They didn't register at the same time MacSeed did because he didn't fully understand the rules and thought he was registering his whole team for an individual event. Which is the opposite of what people were originally saying. Both sides did things wrong. The apology didn't need to address every detail. They said they fucked up, they said they will improve for next time. If they don't that is when we really have to be up in arms with MLG and Blizzard.

Good interview. So sad...
They should get them chance to get to league again, or give any good players good spot next qualifiers. Whenever it's.
