(P)desRow just beat (T)avilo 2 - 0


Avilo's really mad. He race switched to Protoss in game 2 and still lost.
If you don't like it, you can quit.

Must not have had. What an arbitrary rule, 200 ladder wins if you play mostly customs for practice is just obnoxious.

On one hand this is a big mess and they really should have checked for 200 wins prior to starting the tournament. On the other hand people should not have signed up if they didn't have 200 wins

I can understand the american players signing up though. I dont get why the ladder qualifier doesnt allow every resident to enter+ foreign players who met the win requirement.
It takes one chance away from native players for no reason. Cant grind 200 wins out in 3 days. Dont really know when the announcement went live, so I dont know how long they had last season

Wins from both this season and last season count. So if you had 150 last season and 50 this season and masters, you're ok.

The point of requiring it for everyone is so that people have incentive to play on the local ladder.

Ok I didnt know that. I thought its 200 in a single season. Looks pretty reasonable then, especially for pros.

It's not added between seasons. It's 200 wins in current or previous season, not 200 wins in current and previous season :3

Getting conflicting information, so I found the official qoute:
Players must be ranked in master league and have at least 200 ladder wins on the home region ladder (American server for WCS America, Europe server for WCS Europe) in the season leading up to the ladder wildcard deadline.

200 wins in the season leading up to it, so no adding up

Not arbitrary. The wildcard is meant to reward ladder activity and is also the only one with no residency restrictions.

400 games (50% win ratio) is nothing in a 2 month season and if you are seriously dedicated.

This situation just shows how amateur the NA scene is, (not all) players doesn't know the rules of the tournament they are attending, teams not giving proper support to players, and tournament organizers cant effectively put in practice their own rules
The other race is OP

It's one season with 200 wins, not two.

I am with this guy. It's not NASL, it's the players. EU had the exact same rules and none of these issues, but NA has players signing up who didn't even bother to coins to 200. It shows how seriously some of them take this.

People should never compare the two, in terms of skill. Avilo is like a 20-30% player versus protoss. If he played 10 games, with only needing to win 2 vs p, would still bet on desrow...

Exactly. If NASL cannot screen the players then it's their fault.

Well, Wildcard qualifier for EU has not happened yet. We have yet to see if the EU players do read the rules.

I don't know why you quote me with an "exactly". What you write is completely unrelated to my post. I just said, that EU was wildcard was not played yet.

True, and they might have the same issues, but I doubt many players will sign up without 200 wins.

Because I agreed that the EU Wildcard is yet to come so we can't cast judgements on the format yet. I then made a point in in the same post afterwards to avoid double posting.

NASL should have checked or had a system in place to check. But the players are also to blame for not bothering to read/follow the rules
