I don't get what something like this is expected to do outside of creating a mountain out of a mole hill. As to the issue at hand, this is the first we're hearing of complaints. If players choose to play on NA, they are expected to deal with the region's server and schedule. We're working very hard to improve upon the rocky qualifier start. Any players, teams, etc. should contact us directly through the appropriate communication channels to discuss concerns around the competition. Exactly. All the 'This is WCS NA' has been said, but people should also realize that the players are not the only ones affected. The casters, obs, etc would all have to be moved to the KR server for any games affected by this issue, which greatly increases the chances of miscommunication, stream delays, technical issues, etc. If you want to play in the NA rounds, you have to play in NA. | ||

It must be awesome to come into work the next day and find this thing that you weren't even aware of when you left work the day before. | ||

I clearly made a statement: the server you play on along with the match schedule come with the WCS region you choose to play in. If players or teams wanted to discuss it more, they have the appropriate channels to continue this discussion. I'm happy to discuss this more with anyone playing (or managing someone playing). | ||

Well he did say they are working very hard to improve, I guess he means they are busy with other stuff? But I don't think TL team manager made the thread, just some guy that saw the tweet. | ||

Waxangel aint part of the team: http://www.teamliquidpro.com/players check your stats. and obviously the players talked to you and tried to make you change the region they play on for their kr-kr matches. its this way you work that makes you problems. "there is a rule about that but everyone would agree that it makes more sense to do it the supposed way? well lets allow it in this case since its just for better games on which everyone would gain something. but no there is a rule. we cant change." thats why ppl like esls administration and organisation a lot more. they think about the stuff and change if it makes more sense. | ||

I agree, and I believe this was talked about before with people contacting sponsors instead of going to the team itself. All it does is rile people up, like the purpose of this thread, instead of discussing their complaints with the actual organization. | ||

Qualifying for it would be a huge risk when they are already qualified for a WCS. Plus, it's not like they would have no latency (KR server) for a majority of their matches (there will always be more Americans playing WCS AM than Koreans...) so that likely wouldn't happen. I'm sure Major thought WCS would be intelligent enough to let them play KR server since they are both in KR currently. He should have known that they were retarded!! And for all of the people saying "Well you wouldn't have noticed if it was cross-server anyway", that argument is total shit. We wouldn't "notice" because we have no way of knowing what mistakes were because the player messed up or if it was the latency. It can ONLY make the match worse, which is stupid. The players are STILL affected by this, and it's a large nuisance playing cross-server, if you've ever tried. Microing properly is much harder with 300ms lag than it is with 75ms lag. And the players are the biggest concern with a tournament since they are the ones that actually bring the views, so you should probably accommodate them with shit like this. Zzzzzzz... you people.

MLG_Adam If players choose to play on NA, they are expected to deal with the region's server and schedule. Sounds reasonable to me. I always thought it was quite clear that that was the way it was going to work. | ||

Yes players do have to read and comply with the rules with mlg, but why do you have to over complicate things and just let them play on the korean server? you are making things more difficult compared to something much more easier ie playing on korean server. By letting them play on the korean server they dont have to deal with lag, and much more there does not have to be much more drama and threads about how mlg sucks.... | ||

I guess we can split hairs like that if we really want to. I think MLG can still be grumpy and request that Team Liquid and its staff for both the site and team not make threads like this without sending a single email. That is the level of professional courtesy I would expect. | ||

You have to think about this from a logistics side as well, this does not help with the downtime issues we're already facing with operating a global online event. Having obs, admins, and players hop around servers in the middle of a live broadcast is not realistic. Also, again, this is WCS NA and the server you play on comes with the decision you as a player make when selecting a region. | ||

However, it is clear by Blizzard not region-locking the tournaments and statements that they have made, that their goal is not to determine the best American players, the best European players, and the best Korean players and then have a finals with the best of the 3 regions. They have said many times that they are fine with Korean players playing in the other regions, and their goal is determine 1 global champion at their grand finals event. They located one server in NA, one in EU, and one in KR so that anyone from around the world would have a chance to compete with low latency and low travel time to the offline portions of the events. It was to PROMOTE GLOBAL COMPETITION, NOT SO THAT WE COULD DETERMINE THE BEST NA AND EU PLAYERS. If it is a Korean vs an American in WCS AM, then it is always played on the NA server, because this is where Blizzard stated Americans could compete without lag. This is why there three regions; everyone can compete. This is a global tournament. It is about a global champion. It makes no sense to prevent two people living in Korea from playing on the Korean server TL;DR: multiple regions are only there to promote global competition, not prevent it. WCS is a global tournament, not a local one. | ||

That is the level of professional courtesy I would expect. It's not splitting hairs. TeamLiquid.net and Team Liquid the pro team are two separate entities, although they have very evident tie-ins. While someone like Nazgul or Bumblebee represents both, the TL.net staff do not represent the official stance of the actual pro team through their posts. Keep in mind this community was built on volunteers. Again, just because they're an integral part of keeping the community running doesn't necessarily mean they're involved with the team itself. | ||

guess i was wrong. the whole WCS thing brings the worst from almost everyone. this is essentialy thirty pages of "lets be total assholes, that will show them for ruining our dream local tournament." because that is exactly what saying that they should play on the NA server amounts to. | ||
