blizzard REALLY have to do some realationship with usa/eu/china about the travels ...
i thought while jim vs alive all time (well he was so close not get visa for usa, how he get one for eu in 2 weeks)

yeah, need to get blizzard to fix international relationships :D

freaking blizzard already took forever to fix cold war

Yeah screw them, look at how miserably they handle Egypt. They also still didn't donate free copies of SC2 to every person in the world and there are still people starving all over! F* Blizz!

Edison's explanation before noon: http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_81f99cb20101ip4t.html

Short translation about what happened after his report on the main post:

You need to go to hometown for this kind of notarization, Jim's mother unfortunately worked elsewhere and didn't get that right away. So they informed ESL and Blizzard to let them prepare in case Jim would not be able to attend. There is still time left before the appointment on Monday and they are working hard.


This is unfortunate The whole hukou system is quite frustrating. Seems you have to go back to your hukou for almost everything. Fortunately for them Guangdong is quite close to Hunan (though depending on which cities were involved close may be a poor choice of words), but troublesome nonetheless.

Seems grim but hopefully Jim can somehow make it. His presence would certainly add an interesting, if not exciting, element to the event.
We cant give up just because things arent the way we want them to be.

it is super unfortunate that they always have to go back to their hometown for anything. I currently work in China and my co-workers spend almost 24 hours on the train getting back to their homes.This doesn't even include the time they spend getting to the train and after they get off the train. It is pretty ridiculous.

I hope Jim's visas issues will be resolved soon. Glad to see that Blizzard is helping out the process.

Even last place (16th) is guaranteed to get $5000 and 500 WCS points.
Is it save to assume that this "guaranteed" reward now goes to aLive instead?

No, Alive just have a spots, if he eliminated in group, he won't get any points.

Well then, does Jim still get the reward? And should aLive win the whole tournament, does he only win $35,000?

It says
"No matter the outcome, Jim will still receive all WCS Points and prize money he earned from his performance in WCS America thus far, including the League Finals."

"League Finals" and "Season Finals" could mean 2 different things, as in league = america finals.

And since it also says
"Should an invitation be offered to aLive, his acceptance will make him eligible to receive WCS Points and prize money awarded for participating in the Season 2 Finals."

I would assume that aLive earns the $5000 (instead of Jim) even if he gets 16th place.
